Considering self-medicating, short term... & looking for levo supplier?

Hello lovely people,

I'm having an absolute nightmare trying to get hold of my GP to discuss a medication increase. I've been on 50mcg levo since the end of January, am still feeling terrible, and need a dose increase. (Details of my last blood tests are in my previous post).

I know how much pressure the health service is under at the moment. I anticipate that I will find it very difficult and stressful trying to get blood tests through the NHS in the next six months or so.

I now thinking of self medicating, with the support of this forum, and arranging private blood tests. At least for the next few months. I just can't handle the stress and anxiety of trying to get this sorted through the NHS just now. It is making me ill with anxiety, not to mention the overwhelming exhaustion, muscle aches, joint pain, and low mood of being hypo and undermedicated.

If anyone has any input on this I'd be enormously grateful, and please could someone private message me with details of how to get hold of levothyroxine from a reputable supplier?

Thank you so much x
