Following a handback to GP from endo I had my first appointment with GP today. Was prepared to battle but it was not needed, T3 was added to my list of normal meds to be requested online. Twice yearly blood tests needed. We shall see how long this lasts.

I am happy for you. On reading the BTA's article it leaves the question of whether or not to stop T3 is down to the clinician. I don't think many GPs have read this article and I am going to give my GP a copy.
