Can I ask GP for T3

[RU678]

She recognises I have a need for it thankyou

RU678,

GPs are advised not to prescribe T3 without the recommendation of a NHS endocrinologist. If your GP agrees with your previous endo who prescribed T3 and doesn't agree with your current endo who withdrew it you GP can prescribe T3 if s/he sees fit.

I'm not sure why you are focusing on the withdrawal of 10mcg T3 when it is the reduction of Levothyroxine from 175mcg to 50mcg which is making you undermedicated.

Because I felt better on T3

[Clutter in reply to RU678]

RU678,

Isn't it more likely you felt better on 175mcg Levothyroxine than 50mcg? 10mcg T3 is only equivalent to 30mcg Levothyroxine.

[RU678 in reply to Clutter]

No I felt no better at all

[Clutter in reply to RU678]

RU678,

Ask your GP to prescribe some T3 then.

You will need to increase Levo and improve vitamin levels first
