LEVOTHYROXINE 50 MG AND FERROUS FUMARATE 210 MG X 2

[Steve2212]

My daughter is on 50 mg of Levothyroxine and iron tablets. She's in hospital at the moment and has been for the last 3 months. I've just found out that they are giving her 210 mg of Iron tablet at the same time as the Levothyroxine which shouldn't happen. This has been happening for 3 months and they refuse to change it. I am certain she is having thyroid problems as she's got irregular periods and feeling tired.

She took Psychosis after having no previous illness apart from the thyroid problem and tiredness and anxiety.

I know that Psychosis can be caused by an underactive thyroid and not getting the right amount of hormone but they still won't move the iron tablet to a different time.

Does anyone know where I can find a thyroid specialist in the UK as I'm sure all her problems are because of her thyroid problem.thanks
