My Wife Needs a Dr That Can Help

Hi,

My wife has Hashimoto's disease and she is in desperate need of a doctor who will listen and see her regularly.

We have been able to get T3 from France but she has never had a blood test to check here T3 levels.

We living 20 minutes north of Nottingham, does anyone know of a good endocrinologist in our area?

Any help is appreciated, my heart is breaking seeing her like this.

Josh

We can't discuss individual doctors on the open forum without their permission, so I will close your post to replies so that no information is inadvertently posted here. Anyone who can help will reply by private message and you will get notification of any.

You can send for the list of thyroid friendly doctors from ThyroidUK by emailing Dionne at

tukadmin@thyroiduk.org

Your wife can always do a private home fingerprick test (or venous blood draw if preferred) from one of our recommended labs. FT3 needs to be tested at the same time as FT4 and TSH, it can't be taken in isolation. She should do this before starting T3.

Also, for any thyroid hormone to work, nutrient levels need to be optimal so testing the following is recommended:

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin

A full thyroid panel with vitamins and minerals are included in the following bundles :
