About me and London doc recommendations

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Thought I would quickly introduce myself. I have been diagnosed with Chronic

Fatigue Syndrome for nearly 2 years now, but I basically have all the classic

symptoms of hypothyroid that have been accumulating over the past 4 years or so.

My symptoms are (in no particular order):

extreme fatigue

memory loss

fuzzier thinking

facial fluid retention

feeling the cold

low basal temperature (average 36.1 last time I did it)

poor wound healing

dry skin on face and heels and elsewhere

takes longer to fight infections

gut dysbiosis

constipation

intially low B12 (now fixed)

The NHS have twice done the TSH and free T4 tests and both times values are

right in the middle of the healthy range. I know I need a T3 and presumably a

reverse T3. I am male and 34yrs.

Really why I joined this group was to get some rcommendations for a good doc in

the London area who is willing to recognise and treat my hypo symptoms. I have

read papers which show there is poor transport into cells in CFS and I think

this is probably happening in me. I am waiting for Thyroid UK's list of docs,

but I would prefer a personal recommendation and I am definitely prepared to go

private as I'm not getting anywhere with the NHS and want to move things forward

as quickly as I can.

Cheers,

Mark
