Are you in the U.K. and have you been threatened incorrectly and inappropriately with having your prescription removed?
If you have previously been on T3 and have a clinical need for it, it should not legally be removed. Do not give up hope or stress yourself out with the CCG βpowers that beβ. You can self medicate. I have pmβd You with my supplier who is very reliable should you need to temporarily go down that route. And for anyone reading this - please do not ask me to pm you as Iβve learnt itβs long and arduous (I havenβt updated my phone so I have to remember your user name, type it in,etc) BUT feel free to drop me a message so I can reply.
Positive vibes Luna. This forum are here for you π
