Hello all, my partner and I have recently moved house and now face the terrible situation of a new GP. My partner and our daughter are both doing great on ERFA NDT. Little one is under an endo so her ERFA has just been prescribed automatically however my partner has now been told the CCG will not issue ERFA until its prescribed by an endo. So worst case scenario planning if the endo is a useless as all the others have been whats your experience of Thyroid S? Has anyone made this potential switch? How has obtaining and maintaining a supply been and any good reliable sources that you can recommend please? We hope this endo may be different but plan for the worst expect the best has always been my motto. Thanks in advance everyone.

I was looking for advice from someone who has been on ERFA and Thyroid S if possible and what the differences were for them between the two. I also want to know if any one has purchased Thyroid S without a prescription as my worst fear is the new endo will want nothing to do with NDT and try and force them both onto levo. Thanks hope that's clearer now.
