Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Cindi, Thank you for that. Unfortunately I don't have another Doctor I can go to other than Spanish. I live in the Canary Islands and am not fluent in Spanish and the system is different here. You do not have a GP as such but go to a specialist of the area you are concerned with. I know an English Doctor with whom I can communicate and tell her what I want but that's only good if I know what it is I want testing for, my reason for asking. The symptoms you listed for Thyroid problems are the same as mine but I have never had a problem with over-weight, rather the opposite. I struggle to keep my weight up to 54 kilos and if I went without decent meals for two days or so, I would easily loose a couple of kilos. I think to look good for my height and bone structure I should really be about 57 kilos but I don't think I could ever get to that. The first place the weight goes from is my face and then I look drawn. I would love to put on a few kilos in fact but its not easy when we are supposed to eat healthily. When I started to cut out sugary foods and pastries, the weight fell again and if I had to drop dairy products I would loose more. I am going to print off what you have suggested and go and see the Doctor and tell her I want testing. Thank you again, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
