[QUOTE="shop, post: 324941, member: 42992"] Tell me about it!! I so agree. I Started with an overactive thyroid about 13/14 years ago. I has gone down to 6stn and had every symptom apart frm bulging eyes and a goitre. Was given pills, and eventualy radio iodine treatment. I then went underactive but didnt know until my routine hosp appt because when I phoned for my b/test result was told it was fine!!! By this time I had gained 4 stn, was puffy and felt lousy. I had also had 3 bumps in my car ( which was when I had phone for my B/test results ) As it happens the bumps were because the tracking was out on my car!!! Anyway I digress I have been on thyoxine since then and had my dose adjusted several times pregnancy etc. I have lost 2 stone in the last 12 months and when I had lost 1 1/2 stone approached my GP as I felt that the weight was coming off a little to quickly and asked if I could be on too high a dose!!! a b/test was done and when I got the results from the nurse she said that my TSH was low ( surprise, surprise!! ) But because my T4 was within range the GP had decided to leave me on the same dose!! Fast forward to about 5 weeks ago and I am loosing more weight, muscle and feeling very and feel like someone is sitting on my chest!!!! Go to Drs see a different GP he looks ant my notes and reduces my dosage straight away TFT in 4 weeks to see igf now OK. the last week or so I have started to feel better!!! But why do they have to wait for you to be really ill before anything is done!!! This last GP that I saw is so much more keen to also look at howe the patient is feeling with with the test results, not just the results on their own!!! So yes stand your ground and if neccessary see a different GP, I did and it made all the difference!!! Good luck Lucy xxx [/QUOTE]
