Newbie update- I so excited

[Guest guest]

Researched online and chatted to some of you and then spoke to GP saying I

disagree with my ME diagnosis. I found thyroid symptoms can mimic ME and infact

all my symptoms can be explained with it. I already take thyroxine and found

some years ago my blood tests don't reflect the true state of my thyroid. Having

researched this lately also, it's not uncommon and makes it difficult to manage

the thyroid sometimes. The research said there are many people out there who

have been tested, found the thyroid ok- wrongly- and then diagnosed with ME!!!

Unfortunately my own GP retired a few months ago and I have new one, who didn't

sound convinced by what I said, but did blood tests anyway. Got call today from

surgery good news is my thyroid levels have dropped and so has my iron. I am

excited that I may be one step nearer to being on the mend and hopefully not

have to manage ME. Will keep you posted on how I get on. Anyone who prays- pray-

everyone else keep your fingers crossed for me. I wish you could all get answers

like that with a brighter hope for the future,

Regards Helen
