Anyone Here From Ireland?

[Foggy01]

Hey. The Physician list only gives a list of doctors in the UK. I was wondering if there was anyone here that's from Ireland, so I could get the name of your physician.

I've been bouncing around between specialists and GPs for a few years now. They keep blaming my thyroid for my symptoms, even though they also say in the next breath the levels are fine. Or they say it's anxiety & depression and give me meds that don't do anything. I'm not saying I'm not depressed a bit (I don't know how you wouldn't be depressed feeling like this) but there's something else going on. They just ignore me though.

So I was hoping someone else hails from the republic of Ireland and knows a proper doctor here. I've had no luck so far.

Many thanks in advance.

If you put "Ireland" in the DINET search engine (third button on top right of this screen), you will see some threads including some members from Ireland. These individuals aren't necessarily looking at the boards every day, so you may need to send them a personal email to request their advice.

I'm wondering whether you have a firm diagnosis or if you are struggling to get appropriate treatment. If you can't find anyone in Ireland, it may be worth paying for some advice in the UK, but you would need someone on your side at home to continue care and deal with prescriptions etc.

Hope you make some progress.

It looks like going to the UK will be the only solution then. From the posts I've been skimming through it doesn't seem other irish people could get much in the way of help here either. The UK it is.

Thanks again.
