Let's not borrow trouble shall we? You've got enough dealing with the here and now, rather than worrying about what "might" happen in the future.......
How are you today?
Step away from Dr Google.
Not dr Google, it’s the main U.K. charity for thyroid disease, a charity I've obviously had an interest in since lithium damaged my thyroid 13 years ago, which meant having to have radiotherapy, which destroyed my thyroid.
It’s also not a sometime in the future either as with a hyperactive thyroid (which effectively the over medication gave me), a scan is recommended 2-3 years after successful medication starts.
As it’s the GPS (swear)(swear)(swear)(swear) up that led to my prolonged over medication, I’m going to insist on a bone scan.
Sounds sensible
Sorry mate I didn’t mean to upset you. It sounds like a bone scan is a good plan and with hopefully give you some piece of mind that no permanent damage has been caused, not that that lets the quacks off the hook.
Absolutely get that scan. It's the least they can do. It's disgraceful what's happened to you.
I’ve talked to Si and I’m going to completely stop the topiramate. I’ve not yet heard from neurology but I’m done waiting.
