I'm new and I need advice.

The PrescQIPPDROP- LIST has included liothyronine. This action must be reversed. What can I do?

There has been a petition, which must by now have reached the required number to be considered for debate in parliament.

Where can I find the petition so that I can sign it.

The main one: speakout.38degrees.org.uk/c... and this has passed the 100,000 signature mark which allows it to be considered for debate in parliament. There is no guarantee it will be debated though, just that it will be considered.

Another one, no idea why two from the same people you.38degrees.org.uk/petiti...

You can follow them up with an email to Jeremy Hunt speakout.38degrees.org.uk/c...

and this was created as an international petition but I don't know how much clout that would hold and it has very few signatures secure.avaaz.org/en/petitio...

I don't know 100% for sure Susie, but I think that only petitions run via the .gov website are eligible for the 100,000 rule.

Petitions run on other websites would have to be presented to the government in a different way and are, unfortunately, not guaranteed to get any sort of response at all. :(

I don't know either Louise. I was sent the link to the main one a few weeks ago by 38 Degrees as I was on their mailing list, not sure if not was 38D who said about the 100,000 signatures or someone else . The others were sent by another thyroid sufferer so I'm not even sure who started those petitions in the first place. But I do know there's no guarantee that it will be debated even if the criteria is met :( .

Thankyou, it was archived in 2015 with no action as far as I can tell. How can we start again with an other petition?

No idea what petition you are referring to. The petitions I have linked to in my previous post are still ongoing as far as I know and were, I believe, created after this appeared on Facebook
