Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi Val is quite right. Where is the point of paying to see a Specialist Thyroid Doctor who wont put his diagnosis and treatment in writing for GP follow up. It should happen automatically, therefore you must ask for your own peace of mind.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 - do you know this? It should help all your worries. Chris > > I believe that it is, in fact, part and parcel of the first consultation with Dr. P. It includes not only writing to your GP (if you want) but a couple of telephone follow ups as well. > > Lilian > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Then ask him again to do it then , you've paid for the diagnosis. Chris > > I did mention to Dr P about writing to my doc when I saw him, he said it wasnt necessary but would actually think it would be good if he did. he could probably say things better than I can and I feel reluctant to tell my gp what I am doing > > > > --- On Sat, 13/9/08, sheilaturner <sheilaturner@... > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hi , Are you describing vertigo? That may be hearing associated and too much caffeine may have an impact on it. best wishes Bob > > Dr P didnt actually diagnose me, my own Gp did, but because my Gp didnt understand my adrenal tests and reffered me to an NHS endo, that I as yet still havent got an appointment for, I went to see Dr P.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hi , My GP referred me to an Endo at Pilgrim Hosp, I waited and waited for my appointment but none came, next time I went to see my GP I mentioned I still hadn't had an appointment. He looked on his computer and he had received a reply saying they didn't want to see me as my GP could do exactly the same as he would. Check to make sure this hasn't happened to you. So I've still never seen an Endo in the 4 years I been HypoT Luv Dee > > Dr P didnt actually diagnose me, my own Gp did, but because my Gp didnt understand my adrenal tests and reffered me to an NHS endo, that I as yet still havent got an appointment for, I went to see Dr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Regarding the dizziness you have had, I have had several sorts over tha past 2 years: 1 where I could not stand alone, I had to lean, or if out in the open, sit on the ground so I didn't fall down. 2 where I felt outside my head - (on the left, a bit up and a bit behind), quite disconnected from the world. Didn't think I would fall over with this, but it would last quite a long time, but not usually all day. 3 after a lot of travelling this summer, where I had dizziness but kn ew I would not fall over, this lasted for two or three weeks, became intermittent and has now stopped. I suspect yours is more like my type 2? If so, this stopped with increasing thyroxine. I have just had my last increase in thyroxine under Dr S so am waiting to see how that affects me. I am due to see him again in Oct. I like feeling " back in my head " again, and I hope your issues clear as your dose increases again.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 > How do you manage to take it sublingulary?? My stomach is not good but didnt think I could take it any other way > >Sorry I thought I answered this, I might not be able to do it if I were on a much bigger dose, it tastes disgusting. I just do it at the mo as I don't believe my digestive system could handle it. I would probably have to take double if I were doing it the swallow way. lotsa luv and God bless Dawnx > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hi , Though it may be unintelligible, it's still relevant for all who read this post: http://dx.doi.org/10.1210/en.2007-0567 short title given as: -Thyroid hormone and cerebellar interneurons [[....GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter, regulating excitatory glutamatergic activity; during development GABA may act as an excitatory transmitter and also as a trophic factor involved in developmental processes, such as cell proliferation, migration and synaptogenesis (8, 9). It has been suggested that disorders of GABAergic neurotransmission, such as anxiety, are central in the psychiatric manifestations of thyroid dysfunction (6).....]] this extract from a paper published last August 2007. best wishes Bob PS it usually takes about ten years (+/-) before the doctors will see this work. >> I can confirm that, I have rang Dr P 4 times now and only one was a pre booked appointment, I dont think after 3 phone calls he would leave his patients out on a limb and not talk to them> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
