can you not get any from your GP? that would be the best place.
Some GP's and endos just won't prescribe it and the cost of going private is prohibitive. So some of us have no choice but to buy off the internet.
sorry I didn't know, I'm on Levothyroxine so completely different
GP no go, not even a trial run and yes I now realise it has to be the internet but the safest way to pay is a problem!
Not a hope with GP - saw him yesterday and he admitted my conditions are way beyond his scope of knowledge - referring me to a clinician, but flare up is getting worse this end so reluctantly decided to try T3 and ask for help at dosage on this forum. Many thanks for your reply.
Hi emmie1989,
The medication is being stopped because of the cost to the NHS. So GP/Endo's are saying they are no longer licensed to prescribe it and also they hide behind "side effects" which are not good for you - all rubbish. Apparently it costs the NHS £9.22 per tablet. I have found out this week that my medication is being stopped after ten years and I have to fund it privately from abroad 
thank you JollyDolly - you must have got such a shock. £9.22 per tablet - boy big pharma are raking it in especially here in the UK. I am of the opinion this is deliberate. Trouble is folk around us have no idea what it is like - no lumps or bumps to exhibit so it must be us making mountains out of mole hills. All the best
I agree busterboy
No one understands unless they suffer with problems like us - I know a lot of people especially family, who think I am using it as an excuse, you can see it in their eyes. So I don't say anything anymore.
These "Professionals" won't win, because we won't let them 
Take care

busterboy Check the PMs you received regarding suppliers after you asked this before healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...
I don't think any of the suppliers accept PayPal, it's usually bank transfer or one of the money transfer agencies like Western Union and MoneyGram.
Western Union is good if you have a passport 😊
Passport well out of date I'm afraid so western union not an option. Thank you replying and for the information.
Totally forgot I had asked this before - so sorry, but thank you for your reply. I have no idea what money grams are or how to use western union, seems every time one takes a step forward its 2 steps back!
• in reply tobusterboy
You have MoneyGram agents in posts and supermarkets, if you don't know how to do it online. Western Union also have agents, it's not only online. So you can go to one of them, they will accept any sort of identification.
busterboy Both Western Union and Moneygram are money transfer agencies. My Post Office is an agent for Moneygram, I imagine most are so you just go in to the PO counter and conduct the transfer like any other transaction. I know you can do Western Union online, costs about £2.90 I think. You'd have to Google Moneygram to see if you can do that online too. You could do an international bank transfer but depending on your bank's charges this could be expensive, my bank charges £9.50. You'd need the supplier's bank details so you'd need to contact them or make your order to receive these details. All these forms of transfer have been used safely and successfully by members.
Thank you for this information - live on an island but will try and see if these facilities are available up here, hope so.

Hidden As you have intolerances, you may want to check the list of ingredients of the T3 I use and see if it's suitable for you.
lactose (lactose monohydrate, gelatine, starch maize)
sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate
silicified talc (purified talc, colloidal silicon dioxide)
egg yellow lake art 74675
yellow lake No 6E110
As you are intolerant to cows milk does that mean you are lactose intolerant? And some people say that corn and maize are the same thing so as you have a corn intolerance, again would that be a problem? If so then you would have a problem with the tablets.
Again, T4 Levo contains lactose and maize starch.
I did ask, in reply to the PM you sent me, about any results of your vitamin and mineral tests to see where your deficiencies lie but you never replied.
I have just bought 300 Cytomel T3 from Greece with Moneygram. All online. 65 euros plus approx £5 fee. It was a very easy transaction to do online. I looked at Western Union but they wanted ID that I didn't have eg passport, and I can't get to an office. Moneygram just did it from my credit card. I was dubious, but it was really very easy in the end. I'll pm the T3 website if you want???
Rang my little local Post Office and they are having problems with this system of payment, even in the 'bigger' P.O. in our one and only 'big' town so your information might just be the answer, so thank you very much and yes please send me the site you used.
Hi TaraJR, you're the second person on this thread that says you need a passport to send a payment via Western Union. Have the rules changed recently?
Like you I bought a supply of Cytomel T3 from Greece. That was about 6 months ago and I paid via Western Union online, but I wasn't asked for a password or any form of ID. I just had to put in my name, bank account sort code and account number as well as the pharmacies name, sort code and account number (which they had sent to me by email) and the payment went through with no problems.

Hidden As the T3 I use contains those ingredients, and it's the only brand that supplier offers, there's not much point in passing details on to you.
If you want to give the actual results for your vitamin and mineral tests, with ranges (either on the forum or by PM), suggestions can be made for supplements and doses. Just saying 'low' doesn't really help when it comes to suggesting a dose.
Sorry annoymous21 - your replies are coming through on Busterboy and I am not sure why- this could explain your problem.
SeasideSusieRemembering
Hidden There are only two brands that I know of that can be obtained from recommended, reliable suppliers.
Tiromel T3 contains the inactIve ingredients lactose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, starch and magnesium stearate.
UniPharma T3 contains the inactive ingredients lactose (lactose monohydrate, gelatine, starch maize) sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate, silicified talc (purified talc, colloidal silicon dioxide), egg yellow lake art 74675, yellow lake No 6E110 as mentioned above.
UniPharma T4 contains lactose and maize starch, I don't know the other inactive ingredients.
Here is a link to Thyroid UK's page of UK and non-uk prescription thyroid medications. Scroll down o the last one - Non-UK synthetic T3 - for ingredients of a couple of others but I don't know how or where you would obtain them thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/treatm...
"Vvitamin D level is still below the target range set by an Edocrinologist" is no use in helping to suggest a dose of Vit D supplement, the result and reference range are needed.

Hidden I have replied on PM, following the information given originally by PM, as it isn't relevant to Busterboy's thread.
Oh! That's odd. They definitely asked me. Anyway I found Moneygram quite easy, so finally got my T3! Here's to us still being able to get it - somehow!
