Hello, completely new to this forum, I’ve just returned from Cape Town, I was there for a little over 9 Months, been Underactive for 27years and taking 150mcg of Levothyroxine currently. I used to take 200mcg’s but changed Drs who requested a new blood test in the UK they dropped me straight to 150mcg, I’m 52 so Menapusal also, weight gain was 2lb a month consistently !!! I got to Cape Town, new Dr did a thorough Blood Test and found my Eustrogen was high, I told her about my monthly weight gain (no change warranted the gain at all except dose drop) so she suggested T3, weight gain stopped in its tracks and I feel like ME Again 🤷🏻♀️ But sadly back to living in the UK and cannot get T3 prescription and I’m gutted .... any help in sourcing T3 would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙏

If anyone can help MagsMarshall, please reply by private message as we can't name suppliers on the open forum. I will close the post to further replies so that no information is inadvertently posted here.

Shame all doctors don't think alike, but of course here in the UK it's often the cost of T3 that prevents it being prescribed.
You will be sent notification by email of any replies by private message, also the bell at the top of the page will have an orange circle next to it with a number, that also indicates you have a private message. You can click on it to take you to your messages.
As a precaution you may wish to contact one of the Admin Team to ensure any information you have been sent is for a genuine supplier as we have recently had some spammers reaching out via PM giving links to suppliers who have let people down.
