Hashimoto's

I am new here. I have been treated for Hashimoto's hypothyroid disease for at least 20 years. I have a very low dose of 25mcgs levothyroxine and only twice have had any trouble - once when precribed prednisolone for lung inflammation. After 3 days thyroid went hyper - was told to stop all medication. Now 7 years later thyroid has gone off the rails again. I need to find an endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid disease in order to be able to manage this. I cannot take prednisolone. Has anyone found a specialist in the Glasgow area ?
