A friend of mine you is also on this forum used that argument when her. GP wanted to take away the T3. The cost of all the 'extras' can put it in perspective.

I have been prescribed it privately at cost and suppose I need to see if it’s the answer (which I heavily suspect it is) but we have all lost good years of our lives to this and I don’t think it’s fair that because of someone else’s error we all have to suffer.... (obviously the same as everyone else) do I waste more time over it or take the pills and get on with life?!?!
