Natural dessicated thyroid (NDT) or alternative to Levo without prescription please

Hi all.

I'm new here and this is my first ever post. I have been on Levo since 1999 after a partial thyroidectomy. I have not felt right since then but as my blood tests always come back within range nothing changes. I am currently on 150mcg and am toying with buying the Medicheck Thyroid Check UltraVit rT3 test to get a more detailed blood test result. I do feel like I've been fobbed off over the years by the GP when I complain of brain fog, depression, excessive tiredness etc. so I am trying to be more proactive in finding answers and treating myself.

So, to summarise my waffle, can anyone advise on where I can get NDT without a prescription please. And, should I stop taking Levo for a while prior to getting the blood test for a more accurate result, or take it so that it shows if it is indeed working/not working.

Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions.
