The doctors who think outside the box and who are willing to listen will get my respect - A good doctor will always be open minded and listen to their patients - those who don't and tell their patients that they're rude for even daring to challenge their views are a usless bunch of a&&holes - these are the 'doctors' that shouldn't be allowed to practice. First do no harm -- yeah right.
@GLGeanna2010 U DONT KNOW WHAT U ARE TALKING ABOUT! JUST CAUSE U ARE A TOTAL MESSED UP PSYCHO BITCH DOES NOT MEAN THOSE DOCTORS CANT HELP OTHERS! U ARE BEYOND ANY HELP CAUSE U ARE A FUCKED UP EX HOOKER PSYCHO BITCH!!!
Great Video! I was mis-diagnosed for years and even spent over a year and a half, drugged to the gills with anti-depressants, as an inpatient in a psych ward before my hypothyroidism was discovered. Since then (1988) I was on synthroid which never really worked. A year ago I started Armour, but am still trying to find balance. Thanks again for the video.
My GP prescribed me propranalol for the panic attacks and anxiety even though my TSH was 5.9, because she said it is subclinical hypothyroidism, and the symptoms had nothing to do with the thyroid.
Just want to message the world that men get hypothyroidism as well there are many of us.. more than you think...and remember this can be an Autoimmune Disease (Hashimotos's)..men women and children suffer greatly (and Die) from 80+ Autoimmune Diseases..for which there is not 1 cure !!...we must find/fund a cure to stop the suffering !
if only there were more doctors like this one...i have been there and done that w the being told i was depressed, hypochondriac, etc. doctors never listening. very frustrating. it took me about 4 or 5 yrs to get diagnosed. things have got to change in regards to thyroid disease.
Diane tried so hard to get the message across and I applaud her. My GP and endo will not treat me on symptons alone so I have had to resort to buying treatment from the US. My Fibromyalgia,feeling cold, basal temp of 34.5 and pulse of 57 are history. I have my life back but it costs £'s.

Laughter is the best medicine and I just loved the end of that clip!! What an amazing lady. Thanks so much for uploading that. I didn't catch it on TV this morning and had wanted to see the programme.
Have to say, in many cases I have come across thyroid treatment can often show disappointing results unless the adrenals are treated first. This is crucial with some patients (though clearly not all).
Absolutely, when you finally get the proper treatment for the condition and you seem almost intolerant of the thyroid meds GET THE ADRENALS TESTED! I've found the Stop the Thyroid Madness website (really the whole site) invaluable for more information like this.
I appreciate Dr Steel admits that blood tests are not the defining diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Back in the day it was basil temperature to detect a problem and dosing till the symptoms were relieved.
I lost two years of my life. My daughter had to go to live with her father who lived hundreds of miles away. My relationship was destroyed. I put on 4 stones & had severe pain everywhere. Im amazed I held down a job. It took 8 doctors and two yrs to finally diagnose it It should NOT be the patients responsibility to find out whats wrong. HAD I been myself I would researched it but I was in a fog of pain and sickness. Shame on anyone who think this situation is remotely amusing!
Oh if only we all felt that good on a bit of synthetic T4, we need someone to stress some keep presenting to the docs ON treatment, bloods say ok so they get diagnosed with being lala or having ME/FM or something else.
Diana seems a sweet lady.
Watch out for the out take programs, hernia Aemon? How ungracious. Thats what years of being hypo will do to ya, its not her fault.
