Question: Hi Dr, I have hashimoto's and have been on eltroxin since november 2009 when my underactive thryoid was diagnosed. Then after a few years of the thyroid dose of medication been changed bi monthly almost I visited an endocrinologist who diagnosed hashimotos and he said that when my thyroid test results settled that this would make me feel better. this was two years ago and this has not happened. I have iBS and have had two instance of gastroentiritis this year this current bout started about a month or two ago after a urninary tract infection. The Dr said he would either send me to a stomach or thyroid specialist initially but now tells me to come back in 6 months. do you think that this should be the case? I have been sick since the end of XXXXXXX with the urinary tract infection/sore back/stomach infection and I am still struggling with an abnormally bloated stomach and related symptoms. I went to a different Dr in september 2009 at age 26 with severe tiredness which has possibly never got notably better for more than a week and then i was told that i was on a dose of eltroxin that was too high for me.any insight that you can give would be really appreciated. kind regards, XXXXXXX
