Can my GP prescribe Armour and some blood results

March 9, 2011

Hi I got some blood results back but not all I asked for. I was due to see my

specialist but I have postponed. It seems the lab have only done TSH now 2.22

was 2.16 when specialist asked for the test 2 weeks ago range 0.27-4.7 not the

full panel. He is trying again for the panel.

I started off by telling the doc that I knew hed listen to me and thanked him.

My FSH of 66 making me post menopause a few months ago amazingly has gone down

to 14 making me just going into menopause. I spoke to doc he says its because

of the HRT . When I told him I didnt even pick up the prescription because my

sister has breast cancer he was baffled.

I then told him about my liver specialist and that my alt has gone back up to

165 range 0-35 and that I have been told on this site that this could be due to

hypothyroidism.

I had in my hand various letters about how useless the TSH test is and one

asking Gps to treat on symptoms not on blood results. I also compiled a list as

to what could have triggered Hypothroid and another with my list of major

symptoms which I asked him to file. All advice from this forum

I think I had him totally bamboozled because he has prescribed me Levothyroxine

25 MCG (What do you think about this dosage) I asked about Armour and he couldnt

find it. Am I correct in thinking that Gps can prescribe and that Boots can

dispense. I thought I saw a letter on this site to take to the GPs but I cant

find it. If so I have told him I will e-mail the details.

I need to go for the blood panel again tommorow. I really am fed up with pricks

(I mean the needles not the doctors LOL) What is the best time of day to have

them done.

Thankyou all again for your support.

Debbie
