Newbie...not sure why to go from here?

[Guest guest]

I was referred to an Endo at my insistance in the hope that I would get better

treatment.

He sent me for bloods and I was assured Id see him in flesh after. I never did

he simply wrote telling me to lower my dose to 125/150 alternate days. My

results at the time were:

free T4 - 22.0 (range 10.3- 24.5)

TSH - 0.03 (range 0.4 - 5.5)

Free T3 - 5.1 (range 3.5 - 6.5)

I did as I was told but felt rubbish. My hair started to fall out heavily, the

weight piled on and I was getting bleeding problems again. He requested another

blood test, results:

TSH - 0.21 (Range 0.4 to 5.5)

T4 - 13.6 (Range 10.3 to 24.5)

He told me to keep on lower dose but I felt so bad that I upped my dose back to

the original 150mcg.

I have been on this dose for about 6/7wks now but not much has changed. I feel

like I've put myself back years by listening to him. I just dont know what else

to do. I know that my gp just follows the blood work not how I feel and it seems

the Endo did too - he couldnt even be bothered to give me a face to face

appointment.

What do you do when you feel bad but doctors tell you your results are 'normal'

and your symptoms are not thyroid related?
