Endocrinologists who prescribe T3- any help appreciated (Berkshire area)

Hello

So I’ve just seen my GP & before I had even said anything he said your T3 (3.9) was normal ! Then went on to the same about my B12. iron & vitamin D levels.

I asked him if he could trial me on T3 as all the research I had read suggested T3 needed to be near top end of normal range ie 6.

Then he told me he can’t prescribe T3. So I asked about any T3/T4 combination products-again he said doubtful.

He agreed to refer me to Dr Dove- an endocrinologist he normally refers to. Does anyone have experience with Dr Dove? Good or bad? Plse feel free to message me privately

Sorry to ask as this may have been asked before but is there a list of endocrinologists by location who do prescribe T3?

Thank you for any help/advice

Polly

Email Dionne for the list of thyroid friendly endos

You would then have to ask for feedback on the forum about any that you can get to.

You haven't said where Dr Dove is located so I doubt anyone will be able to send you any information. You could edit your post with the area/hospital, or make a new post with the information in the title to catch the eye of anyone who may know this doctor, then it will be closed to further replies because we can't discuss individual doctors on the open forum, information will have to be sent by private message.

Anyone who has information for Polly, please respond by Private Messase as she has requested, as we can't discuss individual doctors on the open forum.

I will close the thread to further replies in case anyone inadvertently posts information here.
