I think it is OK to discuss Dr P and Dr S by name, as they are known to the GMC and Dr P is actually retired. I myself have seen Dr P and found him to be very knowledgeable. He told me I wasn't converting my thyroxine to T3, and this has proved to be correct. I am now well on Armour, which I believe he himself takes. I didn't get on so well with the Nutri Thyroid and Nutri Adrenal though, although I did have adrenal issues which he identified. I found the CT3M to be a better treatment for adrenal fatigue. xx

Hi Lola

I am under his care and speaking with him on Fri after 8 weeks of being on his treatment.

Been on Nurti Adrenal Extra and Nurti Thyroid for 8 weeks and after being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, (pretty much sofa bound for this yr) I am on the up. 7 weeks ago couldn't stand up for more than 15 mins. Now ...walked mile or so this morning albeit slowly, mowed grass, walked to school and back plus household stuff. Big difference on that front so feel the tabs r working. But have other stuff like depression on odd days which is awful. I hope Dr P will put me on thyroid replacement (natural) to continue my recovery as found to be v low in T4/T3 and Low Adrenal Function.

Oh and my temp and pulse up which is sign of improvement.

He is very kind and understanding. If it wasn't for this board and putting trust in him I would be bed bound by now.

email Louise admin on this site for his details.

Good luck and hang on in there. Pm me if you need any more info.

I saw Dr P last September and he was helpful. A fair bit of what he talked about I did know from my reading already, but he confirmed my problems were partly adrenal, had some suggestions for nutrition and has been sort of overseeing things via post, with the diaries you fill out as his patient. I found Dr P helpful mostly for the fact he didn't dismiss my problems, plus he told me to keep educating myself so I would have a good idea of what was going on, and it helped a lot to to have some one believe me as I found the NHS endos I saw not that good and fairly dismissive of my symptoms.

I decided to start T3 only myself in the end. I've ended up seeing Dr S too just recently, but that was mainly in the hope he could convince my GP to prescribe the T3 only that seems to be most helping me recover as I knew my GP wouldn't be likely to take a letter from Dr P seriously with him being retired now.
