[QUOTE="Dogbutler, post: 632392, member: 92939"] Hi Scouser, Sorry to hear you're feeling so rough, these endocrine disorders are bloody great aren't they?! Think you're right about one thing affecting another, my GP said the same thing, that's why it's so difficult to get the meds right. In some ways that's what I meant about nagging. If we say yeah ok I'll have to put up with feeling like **** because you are finding it hard to get the balance right, the medical profession will nod sadly and do no more. A few years ago I was diagnosed as having no growth hormone (I have a pituitary tumor which seems to be knocking off my hormones one by one). I was given growth hormone to inject, but if anything I started to feel worse. Did some research and found out that the gh can lower thyroid levels. Asked for thyroid blood tests, but medics poo pood my request. Eventually, I asked if I could stop the gh and was told that was fine, as it doesn't work for everybody. Bet it would work for a lot more people if they titrated with levothyroxine and got the balance right! Sorry this has turned into a bit of a rant, but the lack of care from some of the medical profession makes my blood boil. I'm a pain in the **** patient because I question and challenge, but how many poor people just accept what they're told? [/QUOTE]
