Due to the NHS changes in prescribing Liothyronine, (I take thyroxine and liothyronine), I want to ask my GP to prescribe Armour or similar. If they will not (and I'm not holding my breath) could someone please pm me details of where I can buy Armour without a prescription? Thank you so much in advance.

Be careful.
I strongly suspect that anyone who stops getting liothyronine - no matter the promises and reassurances at the time - will never get it back.
Also, I would not be at all surprised to see desiccated thyroid in the next wave. (Yes, am sure there will be a next wave and a third wave.)
I think the same as you too. The NHS bringing in 'quotas' which will cause many people severe stress which isn't a good thing if hypo.
These uneducated doctors who know little about the function of thyroid hormones should give up their licences. Just because they may have a qualification doesn't mean that they have common sense, i.e. take no notice of patients symptoms and prescribe. They'd save a fortune by not taking blood tests and returning to the 'old fashioned' way of diagnosing and return to NDT or levo for those who do well on it.
Thanks, helvella for the advice.
So with Liothyronine, will all GPs eventually have to stop prescribing it on the NHS, or is it up to the individual practices?
