Dr skinner

I’m not sure what to do. My cousin and I were patients with dr skinner many years ago. Then he passed which was so sad as he was an amazing man. My cousin was in touch with his practice in Birmingham and we then self medicated and my cousin got them from somewhere abroad. She never told me where she got them and now my lovely cousin has passed. I don’t know what to do about getting thyroxine. Can anyone help me please Many thanks

No as I’m on a high dose and they wouldn’t agree to it. Also when I was tested years ago my test came back negative but dr skinners said that is wrong

No my cousin and I didn’t have tests. If I go to the doctor they will start asking questions. How can I get it done privately?

Many of us use medichecks , on special today. Do finger prick sample or pay extra for nurse to take sample. Would be a VERY good idea to get this done in my humble opinion😁
