Synthroid needed urgently, UK

I understand this post will need to be closed so please anyone reply directly to me :)

I have been taking Synthroid for a few years I think now. I'm in the UK and have sensitivities which mean all the UK generic levothyroxine give me nasty side effects. I can't tolerate natural dessicated thyroid types as they are too high in T3 for me. I take a teeny tiny amount of T3 as well as Synthroid which helps, but I've tried T3 only and it makes me too wired. It took me ages to find this balance but in this new pandemic world suddenly it's Really difficult to get hold of my Synthroid!! Can anyone help please?

I take 100mcg daily of the 50mcg tablets as they don't have colour added. So ideally I need the 50mcg tablets.

I don't have a prescription.

My usual supplier is usually amazing but I've been let down by the postal system abroad as mine were shipped ages ago and haven't arrived.

Meantime I can't order more as backup from my usual supplier as they are out of stock.

Any help gratefully received re trusted suppliers who have this in stock xx
