[QUOTE="Fallenstar, post: 215416, member: 36659"] Hendie :D Yes the Dr's are reluctant to treat Hypothyroid full stop over here in my experience. The levels they want people to be at in the US is a lot lower than our levels. What they consider to be an acceptable TSH level over here, even if a patient is chronically symptomatic is not treated over here if the labs are boarder line. Our boarder line figure's of TSH is classed as severely under active in the US, as I'm sure you already know, it's a nightmare :evil: ....So I know all about trying to get treated for Thyroid problems over here and it sounds like you had the same problem...So you ended up going the private route? I would still like to get my Thyroid labs in better ranges but like you I also have Adrenal problems so that would explain why I have trouble with my T'3 level. Could I ask why you have been on the steroids, if you don't want to say on the public forum you could PM me. It sounds like we have some similar problems. I have been on and off the steroids and can see in the future probably being on them permanently which to be honest I think will stable my Diabetes and improve my Thyroid function....time will tell :wink: Yes Hendie pass on the link that would be good. I did do a lot of reading during my poorly days with the Thyroid as I was so desperate to get better, I may have seen the forum but if you would pass it on that would be a help as I really feel that if I get no joy as time goes on in getting my levels to how I'm sure will make me feel on a more even keel, then I will probably have to go the same route as yourself and seek a private consultation. PM me if you want :D [/QUOTE]
