Has anyone looked at Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome now that is interesting.I know without a shadow of a doubt that i have had Hypo symptoms for approx 3 years or more and my tests have only just gone pear shaped.It seems that low basal body temps cause the symptoms.It was only when i mentioned my low body temp to my G.P(96.2) that they really sat up and took notice.A good thyroid website for the UK is www.thyroiduk.org.It has useful groups around the country and recommended doctors who deal with hard to diagnose cases.This site made me feel that even if no one else would listen,then there was still someone to turn to.Hope that is useful to someone!.I totally agree that doctors do not listen to symptoms and rely on test results which is really sad and causes unnecessary suffering.
