Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I am 38, I had cancer 8 years ago and have been on levothyroxin ever since. As a result of the cancer, i began to change over the years and educating myself on all areas in health and nutrition and empowering myself with knowledge of the body.. I have been afraid to face the thyroid research until now.. I almost know intuitively that this is the end of the road for me and my health. i am sick of suffering with my levels and not feeling good.. i have been hyper and hypo and all over the place through these last 8 years.. I am now ready to face this very serious issue (finally ~ phew) and dump the cancer hospital advise and lead myself to someone who can help me, through your help here... In comes my question.... (I live in Cardiff) Can anyone PLEASE recommend a good specialist/Dr who can help me understand my issues and guide me towards armour medication.. I appreciate your help very much, thank you all who reads and helps.. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi, Dr Myhill is an excellent doctor. She is very caring and understanding. She listen to her patients and works with them. She will write to your GP to recommendations if you want her to. Have you seen her website? Lots of info on there too.
