| Personal comments | I AM DISSAPOINTED AT THE LACK OF ADVICE THAT I HAVE BEEN GIVEN REGARDING MY CONDITION,AND WHAT I MIGHT EXPECT AND THIS HAS ADDED TO MY WORRIES AND CONCERNS FOR MYSELF. I AM ALSO UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT MY HEART SPECIALIST IS AT A LOSS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT, HENCE MY APPOINTMENT FOR A SECOND OPINION.
11/03/04 IN JANUARY LAST YEAR I VISITED A THYROID SPECIALIST IN BIRMINGHAM U.K. HE SUSPECTED THAT MY BLOOD
RESULTS ALTHOUGH APPARENTLY GOOD AS FAR AS RECOGNISED
PARAMETERS WERE NOT SHOWING THE TRUE STORY. AFTER A FEW
WEEKS ON SYNTHETIC THYROID, ALL TO NO AVAIL, HE PRESCRIBED
ARMOUR THYROID.I NOW SEEM TO BE GETTING STRONGER ALL THE
TIME AND FEEL ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL APART FROM THE ODD FLUTTER. |
