Any advice for self medicating on a budget?

I converted to NDT about 6 months ago, also took a high quality B12 (liquid form) this was after seeing a endo through NHS who was useless wouldnt test my T3 even though I literally begged him. Anyway after breaking down to my Dad he ordered and paid for me to self medicate with advice on here. His financial situation has now taken a nosedive and I don't want to tell him I need more medication as I know he can't afford it, I can't afford to buy it myself. I'm so worried now as I will have to go back to levothyroxine. Any advice would be greatly received.

Leanneclaire,

Which brand of NDT are you using? The Thai NDT Thyroid-S and Thiroyd is very much more affordable than the branded US and Canadian NDT.
