We hear many negative comments about how hypothyroid patients are treated in the UK, due to the practices of the NHS; however, I've never heard before of a doctor that would not even reveal the results of your own lab tests. That is stupid and unacceptable. We have lots of info to provide you that will help getting the testing (and results ) and treatment you need. Let's start with this quote from a fellow UK member.
"What I have learned from my experience is that you have to go to the Dr's office and TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT and to go backed up with knowledge. You have to tell them that you have done your reading and looked into your condition and care about the long-term treatment of your health and thyroid. If you fight for what you want, you will eventually find someone that is happy to go along with your wishes. But we all have to take charge of our own health, right?"
So I think you have the right to go to different doctors, correct? If interested, I have collected the names of several doctors in the London area that have been recommended by other members, who were able to get these doctors to do the testing and treatment they needed.
Very well...a bit more than a few squares of chocolate LOL.
I had intense sugar cravings and ate around a 1kg (2.2 pounds) of chocolate/sugary foods per day for many years. Today i ate two bowls of chocolate icecream and a few squares of chocolate. Impressive for me. :)
There are many reasons for sugar cravings and i'm not sure of all my causes but the ones i do know: vitamin B12 malabsorption, magnesium deficiency, hypothyroidism (still not optimal treatment), insulin resistance (about to start cinnamon and green coffee bean extract to help with this).
