Advice please

I am continuing to find it difficult sourcing a make of T3 that suits me in this country, having been taking Timorel from Turkey for some time. One chemist can get Teva and am wondering if this would be compatible. I have tried morningside and a small yellow tablet with no markings from Ascot laboratories neither of which seem to suit me. Is it possible to find Timorel or cymotel in the UK?

Also, I would be interested to know if anyone has experienced increased dry eyes and muscle weakness after possibly having had the corona virus much earlier in the year before the big outbreak. I haven’t had an antibody test as yet, but am tempted to so as both the new problems have come since being ill and wonder if there is a connection. I do so appreciate the wonderful support on this website, thank you.

I've been very happy with Teva lio. There are any number of posts here about problems with Teva levo, but not with the lio. The only problem really is cost!

Good luck in getting your supply x

Tiromel and Cytomel (Grossman) are not on prescription here in the UK, those brands are self sourced romoverseas by members who can't get a prescription.
