Re tests

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila,It was good of you, and Dr Peatfield to take the trouble to look at my test results. It strikes the fear of god into me the very thought of not taking my thyroid tablets. I can see myself going back twenty five years to the hell my life was then, to be honest i did'nt have a life. Sheila i know you know this, because you suffered also. When i first saw Dr Skinner i think he would tell you that my tests would not suggest that i needed any treatment at all if anything i think they bordered on hyperthyroidism, But Dr Skinner treated because of my symptoms. My hair had fallen out my face and arms swollen, boils, sleeping roun the clock, then maybe no sleep at all,badly swollen toungue i could go on and on every thing that points to Hypothyroidism i had and then some.

But the test was saying almost Hyperthyroid. If the tests were saying that when i was in such a poor way (bedridden) Then what will they say when i have treatment, I thought i was the same as everyone else, tests not saying what you were feeling although i know i was extreme case, I just can't understand this. I would say Dr Skinner did do a proper assessment at the time, i know that was a long time ago and things have moved on I Looked at the forum this morning and someone posted High Antibodies high infection i googled this and this describes what happend to me to a T. Sheila this is coming from a place of confusion and deep distress it's not ment to be critical. I am stating things that Dr Skinner said way back then, so he might say something different who kows i was so ill eleven years just a blur I will go now and try and gather my thoughts My fear is that i will be abandoned by all., because of numbers on a bit of paper.Luv
