I listened to Nicky Campbell on BBC 5live today . It was about rheumatoid arthritis .

It was highlighted by callers about the cost of the drug that is most helpful. Not many are able to have, post code lottery .

Nicky Campbell felt strongly that drug companies need to be called to account and justify very high costs. He wants to do a programme about it.

Anyone up to get in touch re liothyronine . It is an opportunity to get our treatment on the radio again. ?

Passing the buck here but not sure I would be up to it. ☹️

Oh this sounds a good opening... I'll look into it.

Nicky would be great delving into the awful T3 world! But he might just be thinking of a phone-in, and to do us justice he'd need someone to answer from NHS/ Pharma/ DoH etc. PLUS we would want to respond to all the rubbish they would spout!
