underactive thyroid

[danielle77]

Hi
My hubby has a job starting on the 1st November-still waiting for contract thats another story.
I just have a few quick questions and would appreciate it if someone could answer.
I have an underactive thyroid-will it be a problem with the medical check? How hard is it to get thyroxine? Will it mean medical insurance costs more?
Thanks
Danielle

They test for HIV-HBV-TB.

However, when it comes to making the declaration for the (obligatory) health insurance there might be a problem.

I declared a surgical steel plate in my leg (dating back to a bike accident in 1983) and they refused insurance until I'd gotten a certificate from a consultant.

F*** that....I did another proposal and didn't declare it

It was checked out with the insurance company and they said its fine-he is now over there, I'm visiting at Christmas but still in England until the end of the school year-so don't know exactly how the insurtance etc will work.

Even though we are going to vivist I won't be living there until Spetember next year-so will still be getting it in the UK-so it might be a long time before I get back to you-you could be living there yourself before then.
