Sheila/Lillian - Anaesthetists added to our list of enemies?

[Guest guest]

Hi All, I visited my GP today who is sympathetic to the NDT cause. He has

ordered all my tests recommended on here and i will post when results come in.

However, I was on the Gynae waiting list for a procedure and it was actually

their pre-op screening that showed i was hypo again and i've been trying to get

right ever since Sept 11. My GP has today received a letter from the consultant

(He is not lying and i read it myself today!) stating that the hospital

anaesthetist is refusing to put me under due to the fact i am on an unlicensed

drug and that if i do not go back on thyroxine to get my numbers " within

acceptable ranges " i will not be operated on. Now as it happens, my Gynae

problem has improved significantly since i've upped my dose and i may not need

this procedure at all but i'm shocked and a little scared about anything for the

future. Has anyone else had this experience? I've been on NDT for 5 years but

this is the first time i've needed any Ops. I'm up in Aberdeen. Thx x
