[QUOTE="Phoenix69, post: 1785574, member: 269034"] Hi and thank you for replying. I have over the last 5 years been let down by 2 GPs and my Endocrinologist. I am a type 1 (45 years) and have hypothyroidism (18 years) . The fact that I have told both symptoms that they have just wanted to attribute to something else. No proper questioning of me, physical examinations, blood tests are basic, a lack of time /knowledge or both have led to a lack of investigation and diagnosis. The consequences to both my physical and mental wellbeing have been terrible. The last straw for me was when I found out that biotin affects thyroid test results. When I finally got to speak to the endo I told her of the symptoms I am suffering from and until I said to her to forget my symptoms " Dr ... you are an endocrinologist ?" She replied yes of course I then said "so you know that biotin affects thyroid test results. " she would have continued to let me continue without further ado. Despite walking round with scalloped tongue, body temperature of 34 degrees and too many other hypothyroid symptoms to list in this post. I just want full comprehensive blood tests, non complacent professionals who actually look and investigate. [/QUOTE]
