T3 withdrawn

My GP has stopped my T3 sighting my blood test suggest I have no need of it and that the evidence to support its continued use is minimal also extremely expensive. My view is its the cost rather than anything else. Has this happened to anyone else?

if you are on a PC look to the right of your post and view Related Posts - where there are 10 more posts similar to yours. If on a phone then scroll down and down to the same heading. Hopefully some good advice there to help you.

I'm not sure how your blood test results could tell him you don't need it, if you're actually taking it! That sounds like bluff, to me. Do you have a copy of your results?

Well, I know that. But, if he's claiming that your blood test results 'prove' that you don't need T3, he should be capable of putting his money where his mouth is.
