Hi all, I have been meaning to write a post about how much better I feel after starting a new therapy for my hypothyroidism, including T3 and supplements, prescribed by an Italian endo and functional doctor. I am Italian and go back quite regularly, and when I became so desperate I completely gave up on the NHS, I realised it would be cheaper to see a specialist there. It's only been less than 2 months since I have seen him and for a large part of these 2 months, my brain fog has lifted and I have been finally able to work on my PhD. My hands don't hurt, I am less tired, I am following a healthy diet and slowly and steadily losing weight. Hurray!
But now I have run out of Liotir, the Italian T3 which the doctor prescribed and which is in drop form. My dad went to the pharmacy with my prescription and bought me some twice and sent it, but it hasn't arrived. I did some research and found out that it may be that the Italian customs won't let the package through because the medicine is in liquid form. They let me take 2 bottles on the flight when I came back with it last but I can't really afford to go back to Italy to buy more for at least a few months.
I did self-medicate with Greek T3 from a Greek friend for a few weeks before I went to see the endo, maybe the easiest thing is to revert to that and calculate the dose equivalent to what I have been prescribed and buy it online.
Please could anyone who knows a reputable T3 source private message me? I have seen a few websites but not sure which one to go for.
Thank you very much in advance
