@whisperquick welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sure sounds like you have a lot on your plate to sort out and deal with medically speaking (fibromyalgia, endometriosis, scleroderma, other neurological and endocrine issues). I’m sorry your doctor has been dismissive and also sounds like has terrible bedside manner. You already recognize the need for a different doctor. I don’t know what you mean by “bulk bill”. With so much going on it is hard to say what specialty to look into. Perhaps you could start by asking for a second opinion from a good internal medicine provider, then go from there. You are always entitled to a second opinion. If you are able to do that and are satisfied with the results it could be helpful to get your medical records transferred. Could you try that? You are not alone.

Thanks for your encouragement. By 'bulk billing', my doctor charges the
government for treating me. I am a pensioner and we have a system of free
health in Australia for low income recipients.
I feel that I should have been diagnosed and treated for Hashimoto thyroid
a long time ago.
