Oh Tatty, I feel for you! I had TT in 2006 and did not know about HU. Did it exist then? I just stumbled along somehow, with a useless endo like yours. Now we have info at our fingertips. Could you write to him and ask for some T3? Or ask for an appointment now, never mind waiting another 6 months. We TT people do better with the addition of some T3, as I think we find it harder to convert T4 to T3. It will get worse as the years go by and your health will suffer more. My local hospital is now giving it on the NHS, so it is possible, even if he argues about it. I was seeing the lovely late Dr Skinner but am hoping my GP will just continue it on a repeat prescription. I do hope you get help soon. xx
