Hi there, would anyone be kind enough to share their reliable source for ordering T3 online?
Unfortunately my story mimics many on here, with life being taken away by Hypothyroidism. I am stuck between a GP and Endo trying to get it prescribed on NHS but would like to source some myself in the mean time to try and bring back some light.
Unfortunately I'm not up to air travel to get to countries where it may be available.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Amy
If NHS endo says you have clinical need then NHS GP is contractually obliged to prescribe. CCG can not refuse
See Improve Thyroid Treatment campaign on Facebook for useful letter templates for fighting your case
Suggest you put letter in writing to GP and CC your MP too
Your endo can give private prescription if necessary. Then you can order French or German T3, which is cheap
Thank you for your reply. I'm currently waiting for my second round of blood tests through the Endo, at which point I'm hoping to receive the recommendation. It's taken so long to get to this point so not expecting the next stages to go any quicker.
Thank you for the advice regarding the letter templates, I will remember that if I have issues at the next stage
Welcome to the forum, Tbra1,
Members are more inclined to share sources with new members who include some background about their illness such as how long they’ve been diagnosed, recent thyroid results and ranges, and current thyroid medication.
Hi Clutter thanks for your reply. I was uncertain how much information i should include as I didn't want to sound like I'm trying to get sympathy. Regarding my illnesses I have suffered from hypo and fibromyalgia for over 10 years now. In the beginning relatively low doses of t4 (alongside other medications) were enough keep me relatively human. Over the last 5 years an extremely taxing job and deterioration of my other conditions resulted in an enormous amount of stress taking my illness to the point where there's not a lot more that could go wrong. I've gone from being able to function fairly normally and work full time to taking days to recover from a trip to the local shop. Symptoms too long to list.
At the moment I am on almost as much t4 as is possible to take, I am currently waiting for an updated set of blood tests however the last t3 test that I had to fight for showed my t3 levels rock bottom despite high doses of t4. I am comfortable self medicating t3 and am attempting to find some as waiting for the NHS has no time frame and it's pretty much my last hope before giving up.
