Pharmacist said they have supply but I cannot have any because it's no longer on prescription in the area of Wales I am in . I feel so sorry for you people here. I don't convert t4 to t3 so stuck. Luckily coma averted as we have now a plan b . I am now on his car insurance and off home tomorrow to my caring and determined consultant in Merseyside. And wonderful north west who put people before money

Sounds like a good story for a Welsh newspaper.
Wholeheartedly agree with you.
Changing the story to be insulin rather than T3, everyone would agree how awful a refusal would be.
Changing the story to poppppy actually going into myxoedema coma and ending up in intensive care, everyone would agree what a waste of hospital resources that would be.
Please, poppppy , name and shame the hospital and health board involved (not the individual staff). And I hope you and partner are getting over your respective health issues.
