Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hi, my name is Carole and for some time I have been suffering a range of symptoms which would seem to indicate hypothyroidism (I can tick just about every symptom on the various lists I have seen online). The problems seemed to begin after having my ovaries removed (had a hysterectomy 2 years prior) 2 years ago and have gradually worsened. After considerable research I approached my GP and he took blood tests which came back as normal!! I was devastated as you can imagine. I just want to feel better. That was six months ago but as things have progressively worsened I have gone back to my GP to try to get help. I have seen 2 different specialists, one a gynaecologist and the other a general physician and both have come back with normal thyroid function tests. What was revealed was abnormal liver function tests but after follow up tests they seem to have returned to normal. I am due to have a follow up consultation but the two of them seem to have no answers. Having read some of the literature on the TPA site it seems I am having the same problems as lots of other people!! I plan to go back to my GP and ask to be referred to a specialist endocrinologist and would welcome referrals from any one who knows one in the North West of England. Is there anyone out there who has had the same experience and can share their knowledge/advice. Thanks Carole Ivell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
