Re: Letter to Royal College from Dr Thierry Hertoghe

[Guest guest]

I nearly cried when I saw that letter from Thierry Hertoghe - lets hope

'something' gets thru to these people who are only men after all - not a

super-race who are un-defeatable.

No one here is going to stop taking armour or T3/T4 combination. As more and

more thyroid patients get well on the 'Patients Anecdotal Guidelines', the more

word of mouth will spread.

Perhaps there needs to be a simply stated 'Patients Anecdotal Guideline'

published...........

Brilliant news Sheila and thank you so much for all your hard work and

campaigning.

I for one will be taking a copy of the letter with me to my appointment next

week with the latest endoprat.

This one did at least admit being within the reference range didn't necessarily

mean I'd reached my 'optimal dose' but he was still full of his own

importance,rushed me in and out, didn't listen to all my symptoms and like the

other one sent me off for more tests despite having commented I'd already had

loads!!

I was so stressed I didn't think to answer back to the effect that if only

people like him would listen to their patients and treat the whole person not

the symptoms maybe all the tests wouldn't be necessary . I got the distinct

impression he wasn't going to listen to any suggestions of T3/T4 therapy let

alone natural thyroid extract but I am feeling mentally if not pyhsically better

now and will definitely have my say!!

Kind regards and again thank you for your support.

>>I wonder with this response and the critique from Lowe whether the RCP et

al will still ignore the medical evidence that shows them how wrong they are.

luv - Sheila

Hi , yes these Endoprats have had it all their own way when we turn up

exhausted and brain-fogged. Gaining knowledge is very self empowering, as does

getting some thyroid hormone into our systems.

The tragedy of course, is that should any doc agree with you, he/she is laying

his livlihood on the line as to prescribe after being told he cant is breaking

the law for him and he can end up before the GMC for malpractice. They have to

go by the text books, which is why the horror at the new guidelines by the RC

Surgeons.

Waving away our requests for T3/T4 meds is how they deal with it all.

F

Knowledge is Power !!!!
