Doesn't seem to be on there at the moment .....not that I can see anyway

[shaws in reply to SlowDragon]

It's just finished.

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to shaws]

Anything positive?

[shaws in reply to SlowDragon]

Yes, it was good and sounded quite positive. Of course the exorbitant cost was also mentioned going up by 6,000%. Being £4+ a few years ago for a month's supply.

The speakers were positive except the young MP whom I mentioned above who obviously has read BTA etc and that people shouldn't take thyroid hormones without supervision.

They don't get it do they

Why would 1000's of mainly middle aged law-abiding women, all decide it necessary to go to inordinate lengths to get hold of T3 (or NDT)

Of course everyone would rather be treated and monitored by medics.

If it was predominantly a male disease would it be treated differently. I strongly suspect so
