Hi

I just joined this platform - I'm looking for support networks (face to face or phone) that can help me access knowledgeable and sympathetic GPs in Norfolk. My own GPs surgery seem v poorly informed/able to investigate and deal with my (worsening) thyroid problems and I am desperate to get better support, understanding and treatment.

All suggestions welcome, thank you.

Hi Snowdrop7 I live in Norfolk. I don't know of a face to face group. But I am very active in Facebook group 'Thyroid Support Group Norfolk'. Look us up! We have about 40 members, and it's a very helpful supportive group. If you want to I'll give you more details.

Hello, Its the first time I have tried face book and I am not sure if is working. Please can you help with the purchase of T3 and how to use it. I found your help group after reading the newspaper. I have a thyroid problem and I am coeliac I am desperate to get some sort of life back some days I don't want to move, I have increased my intake of vitamins and minerals and this has helped a great deal however my temperature is low. I have been to the doctors and the hospital but have not had much joy with either of them. Please help a call would be great or any acknowledgement. Regards Margaret

Hi Snowdrop, I recently moved to Norfolk and am looking for the same. I am away until late September, but please PM me if you have any results or if you would like to meet up in the autumn.
