A long but interesting read. I watched a debate from the Scottish Parliament about a year ago and good to read they haven’t dropped this hot potato!

It was good to watch the Scottish Parliament when all the MPs were debating about thyroid hormones and the decision that hypothyroid patients could source alternatives to levo, if they were not recovering on it.

I believe Elaine Smith also has hypothyroidism.

I didn’t know that. Empathy is a wonderful and useful ally!

I watched the Scottish Parliament that day when it was decided that people who were hypothyroid could be prescribed with what made them feel well again.
