[QUOTE="mrsmousemat, post: 126503, member: 25432"] Told my doctor that I was very tired - the ususal advie - lose a bit of weight. Eventually got fed up and changed doctors. When you change you have to have lots of tests, including urine and blood. The nurse at the new doctor's picked it up. I do wish doctors would look further than weight for reasons for being tired etc. t's the second time it's happened. ....After having another baby at the age of 46, I was undiagnosed hypothyroid for two years thanks to the 'loose weight by exercise' regime of around four male doctors. The one with cycle clips on his desk was especially annoying. (I'd like to see him go jogging with a toddler in tow, after giving birth at that age.) A young woman, in training in the surgery, picked up my problem by ordering the tests. My advice to anyone is - not happy - change your doctor. And keep going until you find one that is smart enough to look further than the obvious reason. It's your health, not theirs. [/QUOTE]
