Nhs will only prescribe t4 synthetic. Can i buy t3 on line to supplement as alternative to going to private dr in uk. On a very tight budget and can anyone refer a trust worthy on line pharmacy? So frustrated i cant get my armour thyroid here in uk. Ive been diagnosed w hashimoto and could not get nhs dr to even awknowledge it nor fact that my body seems to have trouble converting any t4 to t3. Thanks!

You are not alone in not being able to get prescribed thyroid hormones that suit you.

T3 is now practically impossible to source and I assume there's a worldwide shortage.

However, there is also some NDTs which can be sourced and if any member has information, they'll send you a private message. No information is permitted on the forum. and I will have to close your post so that only private messages can be sent to you.

I know the worry and aggravation at the thought of becoming unwell again.
