Is it possible to buy T4 or T3 privately?

I know it's not allowed to give suppliers names but I'm beginning to wonder if it's possible? I'd like to try upping my levothyroxin from 50 mcg to 75 to see if it helps my fatigue and brain fog. But my gp refuses.

I'm planning to put all my TSH and T4 results on hear once I have my latest as this is what had been recommended.

Thanks in advance.

Yes it's possible with a private prescription in the UK. Without a prescription it has to come from a supplier overseas and these can be very hit and miss, there are some unscrupulous suppliers out there who are happy to take your money and not deliver. So if anyone sends you any recommendations, feel free to check with myself or another of the Admin team to see if we have any feedback on them.

I'll turn off replies to your post so that no-one puts any information on the forum, your post will remain visible so that anyone who can help can send you a private message.
