We on Thyroid U.K. are desperately trying to get just 56 signatures to reach the 10000 needed for this petition to get the attention it needs.

It is for a very good cause so if you or anyone you know has thyroid problems could you please sign it. Getting the 10,000 signatures would be an amazing Christmas present for all thyroid sufferers.

Thank you and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year

I have hypothyroidism and pay for my own ndt but get my levothyroxine free.

Fruitandnutcase profile image
Fruitandnutcase in reply toSammie48

Yes, you will do because being underactive is a lifelong condition but really you ought to be able to get your T3 free if that’s what you need to keep you well - or at least it ought to be sold at a far more affordable price.

There also ought to be a lot more research going on too. At the moment many doctors seem to think levothyroxine suits everyone when it clearly doesn’t so more research and more education for doctors as I understand the time spent learning about the thyroid during their training is quite limited.

Sammie48 in reply toFruitandnutcase

I know i get it for free because its fir life but what i meant is not every one needs T3 as the levothyroxine converts to T3 so most people are adequately supplied and i said i buy Ndt which has T3 and T4 and you can get private prescriptions for it if your endocrinologists agree. The cost is too high to expect the Nhs to fund it just like my Ndt. Think your flogging a dead horse

Fruitandnutcase profile image
Fruitandnutcase in reply toSammie48

I don’t take any thyroid drugs myself but I think part of the problem and the reason the petition has been started is that companies have been fined massive amounts of money for hiking up the price of T3 in the U.K -/ it is really cheap in other countries and the petition is to try and have a percentage of that fine invested in Thyroid research and to support thyroid patients.

It’s not my petition - I just decided to highlight it to try and get us up to the 10000 signatures needed - I’m sure that whoever raised it and hopefully the 10000+ people who have signed it won’t be flogging a dead horse, whatever it does it will increase awareness of thyroid treatment - or lack of it.
