Advice finding thyroid specialist

Hi, my T4 levels have dropped from 20 to 15 since having an increase in Levothyroxine and feeling unwell with hypothyroid symptoms, it's just dismissed by NHS Endochrinologist & docs. My health and physical ability has diminished since taking Levothyroxine over the past year. So I'm looking for a Private Thyroid specialist to consider options. So if anyone can recommend a specialist please send me a Private Message. Many thanks

Before considering paying for a private endo appointment, do share your latest blood test results with us (plus ranges in brackets- as these can vary between laboratories). It would be good to see:

TSH

FT4

FT3

Key vitamins that support thyroid health (ferritin, folate, B12 and vit D)

Please share the above in a new post.

Concerning your request for private endo recommendations:

A list of thyroid -friendly endos (NHS and private) can be requested by contacting TUK:

thyroiduk.org/contact-us/ge...

It is useful to share with members which area you live in, as this may help you decide on a practitioner.

With any recommendation that you get, it is advisable to complete further research yourself before making a decision.
