I'm not getting anywhere within the NHS and am looking for a private Doctor who would be prepared to consider treating me with a combination of T3/T4 or similar rather than being governed purely by lab results.
I am on the lower end of the T3 range and cannot persuade my GP or Endo to even try me on a T3 treatment.
Does anyone know of a sympathetic Dr who would be willing to consider my symptoms rather than just the numbers.
Ella, email louise.warvill@thyroiduk.org.uk for a list of endos recommended by members. You should check with the endos prior to booking whether they prescribe T3 or NDT.
Hi, just thought I would say that I got referred from my GP to an Endo and eventually got T4 through him. I thoroughly researched T4, so that I could go armed with evidence of why I thought I needed it, list of symptoms I still had etc. That way he could see I had a good knowledge of what I was talking about and he couldn't just fob me off.
I don't live anywhere near the areas you want, but thought I would say that you can get it, keep trying. You have to find the right GP and be confident and persuasive with the specialist, easier said than done I know!
