Yes......my hair has always been naturally wavy and no trouble, but of late it is hard to control.

I haven't changed meds at all,but am questioning my Mercury Pharma T3 as at the moment I also have very itchy skin which is annoying me.My latest supply came loose in a brown bottle with a patient leaflet also loose in the pharmacy bag.Why would they do that ? The leaflet must have come from a Mercury Pharma T3 container so why were they separated? I haven't felt well during this latest supply and will be questioning it when I submit my next prescription.

Yes. That’s very strange! I’d take remaining pills back and ask why it was dispensed like that. Given that you have more symptoms I’d be wondering also! 😐

I have already asked the Pharmacist and was told that's how the supplier sent them.

Is it possible that Mercury Pharma are supplying pharmacies larger containers with loose tablets to be dispensed in to brown bottles? I can't imagine that as there are so few patients using T3 and that doesn't excuse the torn patient leaflet in with them which must have come from a sealed bottle of Mercury Pharma T3.So what happened to that?

I am going to have a word when my next prescription goes in.I'm afraid I didn't trust what she said.I think she is annoyed that I rejected Teva.

It was at that time that I had a review at the pharmacy for my meds in their interview room. I never had any of this with the previous pharmacist .He was there for many years.

Yes, the curl has been dropping out of my hair, particularly over the last decade. It did start curling a bit again last year when I was able to massively increase my dose due to the surgery giving extra of everything, not just the 25mcgs they hadn't given me enough of, but sadly, the effect didn't last. My hair is very fine anyway and is now very thin and I have to keep it pretty short to make it look halfway decent.

Mine has sadly never held a curl. Even the most expensive perms years ago turned into frizz bombs 😢

I find myself with a crown in my fringe now and one side of my hair has begun to be frizzy and the other side has lost it's natural wave. I rake small daily dose of carbimazole and i am tired all the time. Polly X
