Natural thyroid specialist London

Hi all,

I was diagnosed underactive in April last year. Started on 25 levo and reffered to endo. I started experiencing pain in both knees, and later both hands around summer last year. I only just got the endo referral in January where I mentioned the joint pain but he didn't seem fussed, but due to my TSH still being 2.4, he upped my levo to 50. In just 2 weeks, the joint pain is becoming unbearable. Has anyone else experienced this, and how did you convince the NHS that levo was to blame? Had anyone used a natural specialist in London that they can recommend, and has anyone made the jump to NDT and found it helped with joint pain? Any info greatly appreciated!!

If someone asks for a specialist recommedation then the post is always locked. This is to prevent information being posted on this public group.

Please start a new post for the other things that you would like to discuss. 50mcg Levo is a starter dose and likely you need more, also testing and supplementing key vitamins.

You are advised to get full thyroid profile bloods done to include TSH, FT4 & FT3 + vitamins ferritin, folate, B12 & D3 and antibodies before your appointment to avoid wasting your first visit.
