I am new to this group and hope to find some information to get myselve better. Treatment with Thyroxine for hypothyroidism has left me with many side effects including massive weight gain, terrible tiredness, hair and skin thinning, fatigue, brain fog and the rest ... my go does not want to know ... I feel the Thyroxine is not helping and making my symptoms worse. I want to change to Natural thyroid treatment but need to find a doctor who will prescribe it. I live in Birmingham but I'm willing to travel ... what ever it takes ... I just want some of my life back. (My GP and Endo will only support Thyroxine treatment :-( is there a list of doctors who may prescribe natural ? Cheers for your help.

HI I just ordered NDT online and medicate myself. I was having massive problems with Levo as well.

Bletang,

Email louise.roberts@thyroiduk.org for a list of member recommended endos. It is unlikely that NHS endos will prescribe NDT but private endos may do so. You should check with individual endos that they do prescribe NDT before confirming an appointment.
