hypothyroidism - eight year struggle

[Jinksey]

I am finally going to see my endocrinologist on Thursday, as silly as it may sound....I am so happy!! Hopefully, I will be able to get through to him.....it's been a long eight year battle.  The last endrocrinologist who saw me prescribed me with 50mcg Thyroxine......but this didn't help at all and my doctor refused to take my symptoms seriously....fingers crossed!! :-)

Thank-you very much.  I know, it's quite right, my doctor hasn't taken a single bit of notice....I have had all of the classical symptoms but all she kept saying is - "You are boarderline and you are being treated with 50mcg Thyroxine daily, I cannot increase the dosage as I do not want to send you hyper!" - so frustrating!!  I will let you know how I get on!

Many doctors refuse to take symptoms seriously.  Congratulations on seeing an endo.  I hope it all works out for you.
