NHS private endocrinologist in scotland

5 years ago•1 Reply

I’m at my wits end with feeling so bad with hypothyroidism for past 10 years but since March my body is not tolerating T4 and Levothyroxine has been increased from 100 to 175mg yet still feeling so ill. My GP referred me to endocrinologist to see if they would consider me for a trial of T3 but they declined to appoint me and said that T3 ‘is a non formulary drug’ in Tayside NHS so I can’t get them prescribed but I have been made aware that there are already 13/14 people already getting prescribed T3 in Tayside. Am desperate just to have one day where I don’t feel like a zombie!! So I’m looking for a private NHS endocrinologist in Scotland if anyone can recommend one. Thanks
