Sourcing Levo without a prescription

6 Replies

Hey All,

I’ve been showing hypo symptoms for about 11 years. These have either been treated as something else or I’d been fobbed off and told that they weren’t sure what was causing it.

In 2015 I had my tsh tested and it was above the normal range but my gp had said it was fine. Since then I’ve tried multiple gp’s and even changed practices. I’d been referred to an endo who unfortunately wasn’t thyroid friendly and is now referring me back to my gp for 3 monthly blood tests.

My dad who is also hypo has suggested that I source my own levo but the thing is I have no idea how to do this without a prescription.

Would anybody be able to private message me with where I can source levo please?

Thanks

i would also like information on sourcing if at all possible - I have posted my private blood test results which i have had good advice from this site that I have hashimotos. I am starting a gluten free and diary free diet. Am so fed up of going to the doctors and being told it’s ‘my age’ - I am so tired I struggle to stay awake at work sometimes whilst sitting at my desk and have put on so much weight despite restricting calories and going to the gym. Last night despite this heat I needed a blanket whilst sitting indoors.

Sorry for the rant - feeling desperate at the moment

I know exactly how you feel honey! I’ve gained 6 stone and I got to the gym every day while eating 2 meals I day! I’m also falling asleep at my laptop at work/while driving home and there are constant battles with the air con at work because I can’t stand to have it on!

oh my gosh - I have the same problem at work. I have a blanket I wrap myself up in! I thought it was just me with the falling asleep at my desk. I also eat only two meals a day up to 1000 calories but no change whatsoever. I spend a lot of time berated myself for being fat and useless. It’s so nice to hear others feel the same. I hope you get the info you need.

I managed to lose half a stone by eating 600 calories a day and then burning 1000 off at the gym which needless to say is quite dangerous but the nurse supporting my endo told me that this was great and I should carry on doing this 🙄 but like you I feel like I’m at my wits end and have had enough of the nhs fobbing me off!
