Default Thyroid problems

Anyone else here suffer with it or know anyone else who does?!

Had mine removed 10yrs ago now and still not right from the operation. The medication the NHS prescribed didnt work literally making driving to work dangerous so ended up seeing a private specialist i was reccomended who prescribed something else which the NHS wont to take as it made me feel a bit better, not 100% as im struggling a bit at mo.

I now have to try and self medicate and work out what levels are at etc with my gp as the specialists at the hospital basically give u 1 type of tablet and thats that kinda like it or lump it, which if i still took on its own i'd probably be signed off work!!! or worse.

Just wondered how many other ppl there are out there with it as most ppl i talk to about it dont even know what it is lol, its predominantly a female problem and in older women so being male and 19 when i had the op i was a slight exception to the rule
