Re: Thyroid testing with g.p./for

[Guest guest]

,

I've been doing Dr Rind's temperature graph so I already know that Vicky's

temperature is low - it goes even lower when she experiences stiffness, extra

tiredness and her urine starts burning and smelling.

I suppose that I might as well go ahead with the bloodtests that the GP wants to

do, just in case she meets NHS criteria. However, I am preparing myself to have

to self-medicate her anyway - it would be good though if I could get a medical

practitioner on board somewhere just to help with the monitoring. I'm going to

ask on the UK Thyroid Advocacy group to see if they have any ideas to help.

several, all have come back as 'borderline'. I am convinced my thyroid is out

of whack as i have a lot of symptoms i.e. hair has been falling out since the

birth of my first child, I lost a lot of weight after 1st child and have never

put it back on, am always cold, I shake constantly (more like vibrate really as

no-one else can see it, although I can feel it). Can anyone tell me what the

other test the doctors CAN run but usually don't due to ££, and what they are

for. I plan to return to the g.p. and ask again but would like to know what I'm

talking about.
