Hi Dawn

That would be great! We were up there at the beg of August for the weekend, it was the regatta weekend, which is ace. I actually had my first tattoo there that weekend, only a little butterfly!

If we get up there again next summer I will def let you know, we used to go every year for a week and have stayed in some lovely holiday cottages around that area, this yr we did America so next year we wont be anything big like that infact the next few years wont be anything big like that!

If you cant tollerate the T4 in armour how will you be able the tollerate the thyroxine which is all T4? Is there a difference between the T4 in each of these?

I came off Armour as I don't seem totolerate the T4 that well, but, I may have to try and get back on it!However, he wants me on thyroxine no messing, so I'm really stuffed!!Thanks for the info that you sent, but it came out blank!! and I'm notthat good with computers so I don't know what has happened.Best wishes.

Oh I see! What will you take instead then, just T3? Is your T4 level very low? There must be something else you could maybe take

For your health's sake, I would find a new GP - this man could cause you great

harm with such an attitude and lack of knowledge. You are NOT stuffed,

according to the GMC " Duties of a Doctor " - he should be working with

you, not against you. I have sent the doctors names and addresses to you once

again privately, so hope you have received it OK.

I agree, you shouldnt start off taking 100mcg, thats really bad advice, I was started off on 50mcg, but elderly people and those with heart problems are started off even lower-

Get the prescription and don't take it. That gives you a breathing space to find an endo to take over your care.And you should not start on a dose of 100mcg. you neesd to start on 25mcg and build up over a few weeks. If your GP is saying that you should take that dose straight off, get on to your PCT and explain how you feel, pointing out that the doctor has asked you to do something that is medically unsafe to do.Glynis> >

I picked up the script today, and it says to take 100mgs in the

morning!! Silly man!!

Never mind, I'm feeling more determined by the day,and if he wants

to strike me off his books he can!
