Guest guest Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I dont know what to do for the best. Have had thyroxine for 15 years and never felt it did me any good. Tests all normal of course and still 'normal'. Things have rapidly got very much worse and over the last few weeks half my hair has fallen out. Not only that, in the six weeks since my last visit to the hairdresser, the half I have left hasn't grown. It hurts to even lift a kettle and ache all over. Temperatures sway from 33ish to 36.5 when it feels as though I have a raging temperature.(Highest now and every night around 4am!) Will get extra blood test results tomorrow but have to see the printout to know exactly which ones have been done. Also done a saliva test to send to Genova tomorrow. My appointment with Dr P. in May seems a lifetime away and seriously feel I might not last that long. Dr says " tired and low are we? " - yes very much lower after a visit to him! Will ask him for a referral to an endo but that can take forever. Rheumatology gave steroid injections last Oct and Nov which made me feel marvellous but when Prednisolone was tried I was violently ill and could not stop shaking. Next appointment not until May either. So grateful to have found this site and sorry to have whinged a lot. Someone here will understand how I feel, my family don't realise how very ill I feel.
