Hi all and thank you for reading my post, I’m so grateful to all that have supported me for the last year.
Im 37, diagnosed with G.D in June 2003 and in 2004 with T.E.D.
Im 8 months post op, total thyroidectomy.
I went to my G.P recently to tell her I wasnt feeling very well and explained all my ailments, she done a blood test and the results were that I am now underactive and increased my dose of levo thyroxine.
However, I’m still unwell and every time I try and speak to my doctor about how I feel she just palms me off with your levels are low and get another test done in 6 weeks. She admits that she does not know anything about G.D. she see’s it as being normal to send me away without even consulting a specialist.
Ive done my own research on the net and have discovered that my ailments could be something quite serious if left untreated, its just not about my levels being out of sinc.
This is worrying so much. I live in the uk and cant understand why I am not under an endo or receiving any treatment for my T.E.D, I have not had an eye test for over a year although my T.E.D is severe.
I feel I am not being taken seriously by my G.P, I think she feels that Ive had my thyroid removed so I must now be okay.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could do, how do I get support or do I just leave it and suffer in silence.
Take Care
