Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Just wanted to share this.. Had to see my Gp yesterday about non thyroid thing. He said, " I see you are on T3? People your age don't need that. And you'll need a bones density scan later on as you will prob get osteoporosis " *fuming* Me " well Dr X wouldn't have prescribed it for no reason " .Later, Dr said " I see you haven't requested migraleve recently, why is that? " Me " I haven't had any migranes " Him " Whats different? " Me " !!!!! I'm not thyroid undermedicated for a change!!! " Him " Oh, it can't be that " Me " funny, I only started migranes when I weas diagnosed with hypo, and they only just stopeed when I started T3!! " He jut then changed the subject, after giving me a patronising look. AAAAHHHHH!!!! Dr's eh? When will they stop ignoring the blindingly obvious???

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Aw Sue, You missed your chance,, practice now. Look at your subject, open your eyes wide, - don't blink - then roll your eyes upwards and smile like your're looking at a half wit. Ok? Practice.. You need to use this one on your doctor before he uses it on you, next time you show you can think for yourself. LOL. What age bracket do you fall in? I'm curious to know at what age the doc considers we stop t3, sleep all day, and basically give up and die.. Well done for standing your ground with him.

My argument I would have in mind would be that, I don't care if it's unusual if I need T3, but the fact is that it's my siutation. As for headaches, I totally agree with your link with the thyroid! I have never had official migranes, but used to get the most awful headaches (still may at times to be fair). This has involved head in a vice, feeling sick, pain going down the left side of my face into my mouth. Certainly something that didn't happen when I was on the T3, so what does that say! The fact that you have not needed the migraleve for a bit, tells your GP something doesn't it! Anyhow they should be happy if you are saving the PCT prescriptions for the migrane tablets!
