[QUOTE="forty six, post: 488683, member: 72202"] [I][B]Tinnitus, migraine, blurry vision, tired all the time, too exhausted to exercise, boils, gum disease, excessive sweating and the nagging pain near my hip. "Apart from the tinnitus those are all caused by your high sugar."[/B][/I] When you had your blood test did the GP just look at diabetes related problems or did they also check for thyroid problems. All of the above are symptoms of under active thyroid. I only know because I have been suffering with the same things for over a year and it have been told repeatedly it is your weight and the diabetes. Last week another blood test showed that I was on the lowest point on the thyroid test. When you say migraines are you also getting pressure headaches when you wake up, this is a classic sign of low thyroid. Yes, all of them apart from the tinnitus are diabetes related but they are [I][U][B]all[/B][/U][/I] thyroid related. Also if you are having issues with your nurse write to the practice manager because if she is like this with you then she is probably like this with everyone.[B] [/B]What I have realised over the last few months is that once you have been diagnosed with this condition whatever brains you have in your head are completely ignored by medical professionals, you are [B]'just a diabetic and it is probably your own fault'[/B]. If you don't like the way you are being treated then change it, move to another practice or make a complaint. Each practice is supposed to have a patients charter. Check out the Thyroid UK website, they have a wonderful check-list that you can print, fill in and take to your GP. I saw my doctor in the street the other day and she apologised for not picking this up sooner.[B] [/B] Also it if you are on any statin you will get these sort of side effects, maybe not the tinnitus but certainly the other ones and your nurse should know this but then she sounds as if she actually doesn't give a **** anyway.[B] [/B] It might not be thyroid but it sure as hell sounds like it. Good luck[B][/B] [/QUOTE]
