Is there a GP in Peterborough UK that 'gets it' ?

Does anyone in Peterborough UK have a GP who will test for everything rather than just TSH? I'm sure I'm not converting, just like my body can't use the insulin properly for my diabetes - all makes perfect sense to me and I've not had 6 years medical training!

I doubt it, but why let the establishment hold you hostage - get your own tests done privately. It is more affordable than you think and a very worthwhile exercise, even if just once a year.

Then you can get the tests you need like t3, rt3, and so on

Remember they only need 50% to pass their training and qualify as Hippocratic Oafs (to coin a phrase some one else used earlier)
