Any helpful NHS GPs in N London and thyroid specialists/endos in London?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Are there any sympathetic NHS GPs in the North London area?

Which NHS thyroid specialists and endos in + around London are recommended as

being helpful?

Which private doctors and specialists are recommended? Is Dr C in Hendon worth

going to?

Please could I be sent a copy of the good doctors list?

I would be extremely grateful if the above could be sent privately to me, as I

understand doctor's names are not publicly published in the group.

I am very frustrated by the lack of help from the GPs at my local surgery.

Basically I have been shouted at and/or fobbed off. My cholesterol levels have

been high over the years, and recently my vitamin D level was a bit low. My

oral Basal temp over 10 days was between 96.5 and 97.0 For over a month before

that I was taking my temp in the morning, and evening and my temp never went

higher than 98.1. I have several symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism and

adrenal fatigue. The GPs at my local surgery do not seem to take me seriously.

Last week I showed my GP (apparently he was a thyroid endo for 30 yrs) the

following results which I paid for privately in June 2011, and they were not

taken seriously. The GP was just happy that my serum cortisol 9am test was

normal.

Adrenal Stress Profile:

Sample 1 11.1 (L) Range 12-22

Sample 2 6.2 Range 5.0 to 9.0

Sample 3 2.4 (L) Range 3.0 to 7.0

Sample 4 0.5 (L) Range 1.0 to 3.0

Total Daily Cortisol 20.2 (L) Range 21-41

DHEA

Sample 2 (am) 0.77

Sample 3 (pm) 0.5

DHEA Mean 0.64 Range 0.4 to 1.47

DHEA: Cortisol Ratio 3.14 Range 2.0 to 6.0

Total Thyroid Screen:

T4 112 Range 58 to 154

TSH 3.13 (H) Range 0.4 to 4

FT4 13.5 Range 10 to 22

FT3 5.50 Range 2.8 to 6.5

FT4:FT3 Ratio 2.5 (L) Range 2.0 to 4.5

TG <20 Range 0 to 40

TPO 42.2 (H) Range 0 to 35

Looking back to previously NHS blood test results, between 2006 and 2007 my TSH

levels from blood tests were above the NHS lab range with FT4 normal, yet at the

time the GPs and the specialists I was seeing for my CFS/ME said they were okay

and nothing to worry about. Between 2007 and now my NHS TSH levels have been in

the high twos prior to the above test.

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Many thanks,

Colin
