Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Felicity I am glad you called and let them have it. I agree with you that you need to contact another doctor and soon. THat doctor is not well informed and needs to do some reading before he opens his mouth. I was pretty far along with the disease before I had surgery and I am ding really well right now. Let us know the outcome of finding another surgeon. I hope it can be taken care of really fast. in Suffolk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Felicity, I am sorry your having a hard time. I guess I don't need to tell you that with this disease we have to learn to fight for ourselves. It seem people think " oh it's not a big deal it can wait " . As for being terminal....what a joke. I guess if they let you starve to death its terminal. Many people, myself included, have gone for years without a correct diagnosis, then had surgery and are doing well. I have been told lots of stupid stuff. I have been told that " A " is a precursor to MS, Alzheimers, Lupus and a whole range of cancers. Usually, these are people who have never seen an " A " patient before and are just pissing in the wind. I will bet you that with correct treatment you will out live them. Heck I have a friend who is 78 and was born without a LES. They did not know what his problem was until he was in his 40's. He's doing fine!! Stupid people saying stupid stuff just makes me mad....LOL Can you tell?

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 , please don't stress. The machine that shows up quickly is the exception, not the rule--believe me, I know. Both my machines took a while to arrive. This is almost always the case with purchasing online and through the mail. If anything, e-buying has fostered my patience because it usually means saving money (because there's NO WAY I'd spend money on expedited shipping). Please try to relax--it'll turn up soon.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Bren's right and even on the offhand chance that there's something wrong with your new machine, they'll resolve it right away (but of course you know this, having a 4500). If they shipped today, there's every reason to think, given the geography involved, that UPS will be ringing your bell tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I’ll chime in here with something kind of related. We were due for new credit cards, they never came. I called the bank, they had issued us new cards. They were concerned, stopped payment on those and issued new cards. Well, the first cards finally came today, along with Christmas cards and past birthday cards. Something has been hung somewhere along the way and who knows it may involve all kinds of shipping.

That is how Vitamix handles things - they are human and it is "possible" a mistake was made - but if there was a mistake, they FIX things!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi Sheila, I went to see the doctor today to discuss endo's results: TSH 0.85 mu/L (0.35-5.50) free T4 12.2 pmol/L (11.0-23.0) fT3b 4.0(3.5-6.5) serum cortisol 197nmol/L(-). He has said he will refer me for a second opinion to the Queen Hospital in Birmingham to see prof M S (anybody know if i stand much chance with this doc?) my doc said he did'nt dare prescribe any thyroid hormone if my levels are in range. He was very understanding and sympathetic as i burst into tears on him.(feeling pretty sorry for myself at the moment) Im a bit confused about all these tests as the previous TSH was 2.14 back in Nov 2010, they also did some other tests with the above thyroid function and the results are as follows: serum oestradiol 205 pmol/L(-) serum FSH level High 32.5 iu/L (1.0-11.0) Luteinizing hormone High 20.0 iu/L (2.0-13.0) prolactin 105 mu/L (0-520), i would at this point like to make you aware that i have not been diagnosed as hypo and i do not take any thyroid meds or any other meds at all at the moment, i would also like to say that i had a hysterectomy about 17yrs ago that made me go into early menapause so i think that i should be just about done with that side of things. Your thoughts on these tests would be much appreciated and any advice you can give as to the next step, i was considering saying sod it and just asking for a referal to Dr S but money is so tight and i am a bit worried that if i got diagnosed by a private doc i would then have problems getting nhs prescriptions for the condition ! luv Sue x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
