Diganosed Type 1 in June 2003 devoloped over time a Underactive Tyhroid (hashimoto disease) My Thyroid went untreated for 10 years by my Old GP Doctors, i was only treated in end of 2019 becaue of left my old GP surgery for my i was givin Levothyroxine to take and i was told its because your a Type 1 diabetic it's all connected my immune system is attacking and destroying my Thyroid just like what happend with my Pancreas.

i am a Type 1 which is an autoimmune disease same as the Thyroid gland my immune system is attacking and destroying my Thyroid just like what happend with my Pancreas, my immune system destroyed my Pancreas which made me a Type 1 Diabetic.

I feel sick and ill every single day i have spoke to people but no hope i have done privte bllod test that show my Throid is abnormal i ised Boots on line GP'S they give you the results but there just after the money no back up or wrriten letter to my GP to explain my Thyroid being abnormal i have been battling for years with the Mental health the Diabetes so cooled specialtist i waited a year for a face to face with y Diabetes Specialtish, but he sent a letter out and rearranged to for a phone call which lasted 10 mins, i am a vunvurable person i would like and need help,


My clinic is a useless place no help from them what so ever, i am a Type 1 and on a Blood sample Bag thye just but Diabetes Down, Type 1 is my Disease i have to try and live with but i do need help they do that om purpose putting just Diabetes on my Blood form i am a Type 1 that is why there are different Type's like Type 2, just pur rudeness 2003 i was diagnosed i can count how many times a Diabetic Nurse helped me or even a specialtist Type 1 not much help i am getting i was walking around with Swollen legs, i do not drink alcohol or smoke but the Doctors or Diabetes team done nothing for me, i never ask or bother them for anything only when i need help and thats like getting Blood out of a stone

The diabetes specialtest should be helping me with my Thyroid buy they no nothing about it, must be too much work for them, and yes i am annoyed cause the whole system is sh*t over a year for a wait then gets cannelled to a 10 min phone call what a joke try have duty of care and thinking hope it would feel your if your family member needed help.............21 Years i have been a Type 1 and had hardy and help from the Diabetes i had one nice woman phone me up from Diabetes Uk but she can't help me, but she was very nice, hopefully i will have a short life span lol im 44 in Febuary and its Hell living on Earth.

Sorry to hear you’re feeling so rough @Celtic38 I think the important thing is to separate out your problems because then you can try to deal with them individually.

It sounds to me like it’s the Hashimotos that’s causing you a lot of stress at the moment. Have you asked for copies of the blood tests your GP has done? You say they said they were normal, but if you have the actual GP test results you can see whereabouts in the normal range you are. Perhaps your Levothoxine needs a slight dose adjustment?

Blood in your stools is something that needs looking at. I’d make a separate GP appointment for that and see if you can get some tests and an examination from the GP. Mention your stomach pain too. This needs checking out. This might be connected to your Type 1 diabetes (we can get a shortage of pancreatic hormones that can cause digestive problems) or it might be completely separate. Whatever it is, blood in stools is something that needs checking and investigation by your GP.
 
The GP test were 6 October 2023
The TSH test from my Doctor's say Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is 4.31 mIU/L. Normal should be between 0.27 - 4.2 and the FREE THYROXINE Serum free T4 level is 16.4 pmol/L the normal T4 Level is 12.0. - 220 so thats GP blod test.

The date on this one was 17/12/2023 2:05 PM
The Boots Doctor test says that my Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is 18.20mIU/L normal should be between 0.27 - 4.2 my FREE THYROXINE Serum free FT4 level is 20.4pmol/I normal level should be12.0 - 22

The date on this one was 03/01/2024
Monitor my health which is a NHS run blood test place said that my Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is on 0.32 Mu/L and my FT4 Thyroxine is on 27.2 and the normal levels for FT4 are 12- 22pmol/L

I have hashimoto (Underactive Thyroid disease Hypothyroidism) so i have high TPO, normal TPO subjects had TPO levels below 52 U/ml my TPO level is on 600IU/mL on the 03/1/24 and on the 2/8/2023 it was on
488IU/mL and the last one i had done was on the 28/02/2023 and that said 580IU/mL
and all the Doc says is thats becasue of your Thyroid never gave no medication to sooth this or control the high levels, for over 20 years i have not been treated right, i don't want symphony but would like to talk to nice people, i never asked to have Type 1 Diabetes or and unsatble Thyroid these are all Autoimune Diseases that no one can stop.
