I have been on t3 only for 10 months and feel much better but seem to have an allergy to it - is there an hypoallergenic t3 available?

That is interesting, because I think I have, too. It is the only problem, apart from that I feel absolutely 100% better. I have suspected it is the T3 because it is the only thing I have not yet tried stopping for a week or so.

I seem to have a permanent rash on my arms.

I stopped t3 for two weeks because of racing heart and when I re-introduced them realised that I'd started to itch again and cough during the night - research shows all these symptoms are allergy based - I am also allergic to codeine - does anyone know if there is an hypoallergenic brand of t3?

Depending on which particular ingredient/s you are allergic to, you might be able to find a different brand that has different excipients. I remember reading on this forum about liquid T3 available in Italy. I don't remember the name.

Otherwise compounding pharmacies can compound hypoallergenic T3. I don't think there are any compounding pharmacies able to compound T3 in the UK (at least I didn't find any when I looked) but there are compounding pharmacies abroad. It is of course expensive.
