I feel I have had abysmal care from this service in the last 3 years. I have spoken to the consultant twice in 3 years. It has taken up to 5 months to receive a letter where someone has completed a virtual review and instigated a change in medication.
I have now been given too high a dose of medication and now experiencing symptoms of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. This is making me feel incredibly unwell, where I have had to take time off work I can’t afford.
The endocrine nurse is off sick and it seems there is no one willing to help. I have to wait until they return which is an unknown time period.
A 5 minute telephone call from someone else i.e. the consultant apparently is not possible. I’m now going to be waiting another long period of time
