Re: Help! Where am I going wrong ?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I haven't mentioned my anaemia before but you could well be right. I have been anaemic for many years and now doctors say its okish when its always around about 9 or 10.

However immediately after I did my first post I went off to the docs and apart from a full thyroid blood test (they never believe a private one) I asked for my iron, folate and B12 to be tested. I was put on B12 years ago (a 3 monthly injection) till some bright spark stopped it because she said my B12 was fine. It didn't occur to her that it was OK because of the injections.

Yesterday I was seen by a young doctor who was doing a 6 month stint at my surgery. When I mentioned rT3 he didn't know what I meant. He quickly looked it up and said, "Yes I see" and promptly put it on my blood test form. He also said he thought the situation would improve for hypothyroidism and started to google to see if he could find a good endocrinologist for me. I will see him again when I have my tests done. I will probably become his stalker when he leaves. boo hoo!

I will look into having my estrogen and progesterone checked. Thanks again .

Gratefully, Wyn

Hi

I

haven't mentioned my anaemia before but you could well be right. I

have been anaemic for many years and now doctors say its okish when its always

around about 9 or 10.

However

immediately after I did my first post I went off to the docs and

apart from a full thyroid blood test (they never believe a private one) I asked

for my iron, folate and B12 to be tested. I was put on B12 years ago (a 3

monthly injection) till some bright spark stopped it because she said my B12

was fine. It didn't occur to her that it was OK because of the injections.

Yesterday

I was seen by a young doctor who was doing a 6 month stint at my surgery. When

I mentioned rT3 he didn't know what I meant. He quickly looked it up and

said, " Yes I see " and promptly put it on my blood test form. He

also said he thought the situation would improve for hypothyroidism and

started to google to see if he could find a good endocrinologist for me.

I will see him again when I have my tests done. I will probably become

his stalker when he leaves. boo hoo!

I

will look into having my estrogen and progesterone checked. Thanks again

Hi ,

Thanks for the info. How embarrassing,

I had completely forgotten part of that post.

I hope that by sorting out my medication I

might get my brain back.....or not.... :-(
