Dear Dr. Vedrana,

I’ve been reading your articles for a few weeks now, after realising I’m struggling with Hashimoto’s. I downloaded the Boost app to track my symptoms — which I found extremely helpful. So I would like to say THANK YOU for all the info you’ve been providing online.

In one of your articles or website, I saw that you lived in Sweden for a while. I moved to Sweden four months ago and that’s when my Hashimoto’s/Hypothyroidism went all over the place. I’ve been going to the doctor and taking blood samples since July and last week I received a letter saying they won’t go any further testing my endocrine system anymore — even with an Anti TPO of 987 and a list of 30 symptoms.

I’ve been contacting a lot of people seeking help with this subject. I’m trying to become a member of the Thyroid Association here, but with no luck so far since I don’t have a Personnummer yet. So I decided to message you and ask if you have ANY tips on how to deal with this issue in this country. I’m bordering on despair already, I’ve never felt so horrible in my life.

Thanks very much,

Daniele
