So having sourced T3, I read up as much as I could and then just made the change to T3 only. Within 48 hours I felt things changing. I found my thoughts feeling clearer. Then I found myself thinking 'it would be nice to go and see this or that' where as for the last two years it has all been about how quickly I could get back to bed and be left in peace. Then the throbbing pains stopped. I began feeling positive and energised. I am still working on the dosing and timing but I have had no side-effects.
Big day today as I had to go and confess all to my GP - he was amazed to see how well I was and was fascinated by the T3 only notion. I told him I was having to source outside of Europe and he said he would try to help. I pointed out to him that T3 only is available here in France (I had checked with the pharmacist) he did not know it was. So he rang the chemist and checked they could supply. He then wrote me a prescription and ordered himself Paul Robinson's Recovering with T3 book. So I now have his support, a simple, easy and free supply of medication and I feel better than I have for years.
I am so glad that he wanted to learn and I just hope that maybe others will be freed more quickly from this awful condition.
I am not surprised that as a GP he was unaware as my ENDO seemed to have no notion of the importance of T3.
I felt that I had to present myself as a well person to be believed which is what I did, no anti-depressants, no migraine tablets, no pain-killers for my legs. It feels like it has been a real turning point today.
I hope that everyone in the UK soon gets a reinstated supply of T3.
Apparently it costs the French State 2 euro 70 cents a month to supply me with T3, a small price to pay.
