Thinking about moving to France and worried about obtaining NDT

I have had Hashi for over 20 years now and during that time I've gone through all of the drugs from straight T4, to T4/T3, and finally to Armour and then NP Thyroid. I ordered Thai stuff about 5 years ago when it was still on that big retail site in the US and it didn't seem to work so I stopped using it. I recently ordered it again and am wondering if the Thiroyd and thyroid-S I received were legit because I reacted so strangely to them. The thiroyd, which I remembered as being really weak in the previous batch, wired me like crazy, while the thyroid-s seemed to cause stomach pain or perhaps it was just coincidental and I got a stomach virus or something at the same time. I ordered from a supplier I hadn't used before.... so I'm wondering if anyone has a good supplier in the EU that they can recommend that I can try before we move there. I don't want to move there and find out I have no way of getting NDT. I thought of asking a US doc to give me an RX for a year and filling the whole thing before I go but since we recently moved I don't have a doc in this state ( Colorado) and I think that's a big ask for a new patient. I know in France I can get T3/T4 but I don't want to do that again as I never felt really normal when taking it in the past. If anyone has any sources for good legit thai thyroid from an EU based supplier (so there's no customs problems when ordering from France) would you please PM me?

There could, potentially, be problems, anyway. Because NDT is illegal, here. So, I'm not going to say anymore because you haven't made this thread private. :)

In Germany, it is possible to get a private prescription for NDT from a private Doc.

I would not rely on getting anything in post in France as it is highly regulated and scanned. I had vitamins delivered once no problem and protein powder but I have friends that have had shipments of vitamins, cbd oil, prescription meds, face cream and odd stuff opened and they just get the packaging. They are hot on charging import tax too. So I wouldn't risk it.

Over the past three years whilst living in France I ordered thyroid s online to my French address and it arrived three weeks later. The amount was 1000 grains so it lasted sometime. The second year I had trouble getting it delivered , so asked my local postman giving him the tracking number it arrived with his help within the next two weeks.

After that I always had it sent to my friend in the UK and she posted on to me no trouble at all. The French always check on anything from Thailand but no so fussy with the UK.
