Well i need a little Thyroxine but am on Erfa and T3 all by DR Skinner

I'm fairly new to this, but are you sure you need thyroxine? Thyroxine is, I think, simply synthetic T4. If Erfa is NDT then it contains both T3 and T4. So you are probably getting it anyway. My understanding is that the T4 is supposed to get converted to T3 which is what our bodies actually use - though some people have difficulty converting it. So it might be as well to double check your information and make sure you really do need thyroxine as well.

Many people feel the need to adjust the proportions of T4 and T3 and adding a little levothyroxine is a perfectly valid way of doing that. Just as adding a little liothyronine is a perfectly valid way of skewing the balance the other way.

Whether or not that achieves what howlyn wants remains to be seen and is unlikely to be readily predictable - often easier and more sensible to try tiny changes than to follow the uncertain theories that exist.

Ah, right - I didn't realise and thought the OP might have got it mixed up (especially given Bluedaffodil's comment). Thanks for clarifying - and sorry if I've confused anyone.

Bluedaffodil appears to believe that no-one should ever take levothyroxine.

If you have a contact in Spain or know someone going on holiday- you can buy Levothyroxine over the counter there

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to Deb_g]

From my recent reading, it does not appear to be legal to import on behalf of anyone who is not a member of your household. That is, a friend or family member might not be allowed to do so.

Please check before doing anything that could cause problems.

Hi you can't get it in this country without a prescription, you can get anything you want in Andorra, sometimes Spain, and sometimes in France, but definitely in Andorra. The pharmacies there will send your meds out, loads on the net. Go there nearly every year, but not this year. Just been to my GP, insisting on going onto to T3, which is the hormone needed, when the T4, the thyronine converts some of itself to T3, which is lioothyronine. This is needed to take the energy to the cells, without enough T3 and Free T3, we are just about surviving. I have had this for 12 years, took them 2 years to actually do a blood test, found that I was hypothyroid and very very anaemic, down to 4 ferritin, dreadful. I still have my heavy periods at the age of 60!! Not even perimenapausal. I have yet again an appointment with my endo, even though the bloods look ok, as I have said to someone before, one size does not fit all, and the docs need to be treating the patient as an individual, and not as an average. More T4 does not mean more energy, it is the T3 they need to be looking at. Was your Mum tested for T3 and free T3. You should in no way have to beg for your levothyroxine, it is just a disgrace that in this country, we have to take matters into our own hands. Just keep on at them and demand, I do. Will keep my posts up to date, let you all know just what my endo says, and what excuses he gives, not to give me T3, never know my luck and persuasiveness, not sure if it will make the difference, but unless I try, will never know.
