[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1051334, member: 53162"] Hiya, chin up lovely it will get sorted, but I would book in an emergency appointment as it's affecting your BG levels and impacting your life, also you will need a blood test to determine your thyroid status, so the sooner the better, the 11th is too far away as you will probably then need to wait a further 5 days for the tests to come back and then of course start on thyroxine if this is the case and it will take a week or so for the medication to kick in then. Under-active thyroid levels have a direct impact on your BG, they are all hormone related so if one is out of synch then your insulin requirement will be out of target, the 2 auto-immune illnesses also go hand in hand. I have it and get very down when my levels aren't right, I have a blood test for this every 3 months along with my HbA1c so I know then if it's doing it's job, but once under control everything is hunky dory. My symptoms were excessive hair loss, weight gain, dry skin, tiredness and depression, but not joint pain, however everyone is different. Another thought possibly, could you be allergic to gluten ? Get on the phone now though and get that appointment bought forward, you will feel a little bit better if you can find out sooner ;) [/QUOTE]
