Hi does can anyone advise me please? I struggled hugely on levo when diagnosed with hypothyroidism after radio iodine treatment. My endo worked between two health boards Cardiff and Vale and Aneurin Bevan (both in Wales). As I was struggling hugely on levo (despite constant increases in meds) I was referred to another endo who prescribed Armour. This literally gave me my life back. It was a god send. Unfortunately, now Cardiff and Vale have withdrawn my Armour as I dont live in the area even though I attend their hospital for treatment. I havecwritten to my M.P but to no avail and Aneurin Bevan will not prescribe Armour. I have tried many other brands such as Naturethroid, N.P, Erfa and a variety from Thailand and also W.P which was brilliant until it disappeared. Other brands, apart from the old W.P didn't suit me as I reacted badlty to some fillers. Is there anything I can do or can someone direct me to a site where Armour is affordable as I need 2 grains which I have been quoted as nearly £200 per month for thirty tablets? Any advice would be hugely appreciated!
