Hi! Please, does anyone know of a doctor or someone who can arrange testing and prescribe NDT and/or T3 within the North East? Not someone who claims to 'listen and do stuff' but then does nothing except charge.

Please PM me if you know of such a person. Thanking you in anticipation :-)

LindaC,

Email louise.warvill@thyroiduk.org.uk for a list of member recommended endos. Ring their offices to check whether they prescribe NDT or T3 before you book a consultation.

It will probably be cheaper to order your own thyroid tests via Blue Horizon or Genova via thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...

Thank you so much Clutter - I will do that - yet wondered if any individual has personal experience [I tried that once, only to be told by the endo - out of my area - that he "Just wanted my take on T3" - that was 2012]. I really need to see someone now... temps dreadful but there is someone else too.

I have suggested to the person concerned, who has no thyroid and been treated appallingly for so long, to go it alone by first taking own baseline #'s with BP monitor for H Rate and a thermometer and then try the usual way of introducing NDT, plus recording it all AND how she feels. After x time, get all test results from GP, send off to Blue Horizon for a kit, then have a local Spire Hospital do the blood draw and see how it compares.

I will ask Louise, just hope someone on here can also recommend. :-) xox
