[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1785708, member: 345386"] It sounds to me like your greatest concerns are around your thyroid and the symptoms you are experiencing. Have you actually been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, or are you very symptomatic, but unable to get a diagnosis? Hypothyroidism is a very tricky thing to pin down sometimes, although the diagnostic thresholds in the UK (and much of Europe) are significantly higher than in the US or other countries. If my reading of you is correct, then reading, or posting on the Thyroid UK boards at Health Unlocked: [URL]https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk[/URL] A bit like here, they have very, very knowledgeable people who understand the condition and live with it from day to day. I have had temperature regulation issues for over two years now, so do empathise with your frustrations. I have seen Endos in both the public and private sectors, and in fact the private Endo, whilst very fascinated in my symptoms, referred me onto a Rheumatologist who decreed very quickly that my condition isn't anything in her field. If you see an Endo privately, he may well request the tests he requests are done by the NHS. I ended up having tests for about 30 conditions - some of which wrere very scary, but I got a clean bill of health. I am currently trialling Levothyroxine to see if it eases my symptoms. It's "interesting". [/QUOTE]
