Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 > > Petitions have long been sent to the Prime Minister by post or delivered to the Number 10 door in person. Hi Sheila, I think we need to get proper guidelines on diagnosis and treatment - possibly drawn up by a group of doctors AND patients - you have to have the illness to understand it, and who better to contribute. This way we can list all the available treatments, get better diagnostic tools and also point out the very important message that we are all different, have different life styles, are different ages etc, and so we need treatment tailored to our individual needs. Doctors must be made to realise this. If I had listened to mine last year, I would be very ill now. ( I will be furthering his education on Monday at my next appointment!)

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Well he added to that - or in common use, which I guess covers such things as aspirin. I will bear this in mind if we ever move house, to check out what GPs "do" first! Val It is up to your doctor and I bet you that he DOES prescribe unlicensed medication for children, as many of the medications given to children are not licensed. If you were living in a region where you had more doctors, I would advise you to change your doctor. Luv - Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi ed, Sheila, I think this is a very good point as it should open the whole’ thyroxine is perfect’ discussion. But didn’t Forrest say they would not do this because of the cost as they were happy with their sales here? jenny Re:Petition i second get docs to licence armour for effective treatment of hypot ed Ed Support the World Aids Awareness campaign this month with for Good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi Sheila, For me, the refusal to prescribe anything other than T4 even if the poor patient is still symptomatic, is important. We're getting quite a list here- sounds to me as if the patient is just not being considered as a whole person an we have so many problems. The one aspect seems to be that the thyroid patient gets a raw deal! > ... we need to take just one issue and deal with that, but what do you consider the main one? Hi Sheila For me it would be that GP's only go by blood tests and that if you have a so called " normal " blood test you can pass under the radar for years before a correct diagnosis is made.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi Sheila and everyone - what Im picking up from the responses about the petition are 2 distinct areas - important depending on what our personal issues are: !) is not being given any sort of treatment because the bloods are in the 'normal' range; 2) not being treated with Armour when Thyroxine isnt effective. Not wanting to create more work for you Sheila - but it looks like its two separate petitions that are needed!!! The point made by Anne about involving patients is really important and should be included in both as its one of the key themes in the NHS reforms - a 'Patient Led NHS' (ho ho ho - that's my Christmas laugh!!!).

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Simply treating symptoms of hypo added to their set treatment of T4 ending up giving them tons of meds instead of delving further into the obvious cause regardless of blood test results. IE only having one method of treating available, heck, every other illness has choices of treatments. lotsa luv Dawnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
