Not impressed, saw the endocrinologist 2015 explained not feeling at all well, no action taken , given the wrong diagnosis- told had Graves Disease despite having symptoms of low thyroid, not prescribed any thyroxine was told i would have a follow up letter which never arrived and no new appointment ever come through. Paid to see a private Endocrinologist in London who diagnosed hypothyroidism- Hashimoto's (which was diagnosed 25 years prior and thyroxine taken since then including through pregnancies) and discovered i'm unable to convert my T4 to T3 properly and that i had a leaky thyroid for a short time so am currently taking T4 and T3. In addition, NHS consultant reduced my Vitamin D to a very small amount so i was still extremely deficient in Vitamin D , this too has now been rectified by the private consultant. Also could have insulin resistance currently being explored. The NHS has let me down big time.
