Woman's Hour have just been talking about shortages of HRT and some contraception, following pricing issues. They've asked for stories of people affected. It's low prices not high prices, but not dissimilar issues to that of T3.
I'm personally not affected by the T3 issue, and dont think i could explain it adequately. But maybe someone else on here could use this as an opportunity for 'publicity' (if thats the right word)
