Subclinical hyperthyroidism ( Graves ) and suspected Thyroid eye disease p

I have severe sensory overload and using screens is painful  from photo phobia and I can’t make this screen dark 

Im very isolafedd and stressed 

im due to go for screening Friday ,I struggle to get out of bed. Due to extreme weakness extreme ex and fatigue. I think it’s possibly that I am burning through progesterone due to thyroid problems that they refuse to treat despite extreme symptoms. I unfdeestand that nit enough when younger I suffered. Frommmenom progesterone can cause break through bleeding l it is very heavy what can I do to reduce it ? When Young I suffered from menoraeghia , needing 6 pints of red blood cells transfusion twice at 20 then put on pill 

I have a phobia of medical procedures especially being penetrated due to sexual trauma and pain phobia worsened by two batholins cysts at entrance to vagina making internal  exams agony

  • Hello Cleopatra66,

    Thank you for posting and I'm very sorry to hear how you're feeling. 

    It seems like you've had a difficult time getting the care you want, which is a shame to hear. If you're unhappy or feel like you haven't been listened to, you can make a complaint at the clinic or you can also look for a second opinion. It's important that you feel heard every step of the way so do keep speaking up.

    If you're finding things overwhelming, there is guidance on the Anxiety UK website, which might have some useful advice ahead of your appointment on Friday. There is also information on our website about getting diagnosed with endometrial cancer, including the different tests available and tips to getting the most out of appointments.   

    Also I'd suggest with anything that requires you to read on screen for a long time that you print it out, perhaps at home if you have a printer or, if possible, you can ask a friend to go to a local library or internet cafe to print it for you. On all the links I've added you can right-click on the page and select "open in reading mode", then highlight the text you want read out. This can help reduce the effects screen time on your eyes and allow you to process the information better.   

    I do hope this helps in some small way and let us know how Friday's appointment goes!
