So good to feel well again!

Hi everyone. I just wanted to post an update on how I've got on with taking T4/T3 combo. Finally got the T3 from Germany on 2nd Jan after postal delays over Christmas and started 5mcg T3 3 times daily with 75mcg T4 on 3rd Jan. Wow! is the most apt word to describe how I feel. Its like a miracle. From day 1 I have had much more energy, feel more alert and can think clearly. Muscle pain has continually reduced and is all but gone. I didn't realize how low my mood was until this week because I feel like I've gone from seeing the world in various tones of grey to seeing everything in colour. I feel like my cup's half full rather than half empty and I just feel so much more upbeat. I really hope this continues.

I'm really lucky that I was able to get my private script to the German pharmacy before the end of Dec, so I've got a supply to keep me going for a good while. Don't know whats gonna happen about getting any more but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Its been so many years of feeling ill that I had despaired of ever feeling well again. So I just want to say to people who despair of ever feeling better, just keep on trying different things and listening to the great advice provided by the kind people on this forum. Thanks to everyone who has replied to my posts as it's because of you that my health has improved so much.

There is a plan to be able to get your T3 from a different pharmacy as Germany can no longer accept a U.K. Drs prescription anymore due to Brexit. . Just in the nick of time you got yours through. I’m so very pleased for you and your family. Life really does improve dramatically now. X

I don't think anyone actually realises how T3 can actually change your life xx

I agree T3 is fantastic. Until I had T3 I just thought I was a depressive tired kind of person.

The German company assured me that there should be no problems in accepting UK prescriptions after Brexit.

Hi MirandaIV, the German pharmacy my endo recommends is definitely saying they can no longer fulfil UK prescriptions for Thybon Henning T3 and the recent posts on this forum concur with this. If I was you I would email your pharmacy to double check now that Brexit has actually happened just to be sure they will deliver so that your not left high and dry when the time comes to order your next prescription. If they confirm that they are still fulfilling UK prescription requests can you private message me please with their details as although we can still get it via UK pharmacies it is much more expensive.Thanks for responding

This is the reply I received recently from them:- “We do not have all informations regarding our shipments to the UK from the

beginning of the new year. We are sure that we must charge our customers without

german VAT. We will adjust your invoice and will refund the resulting difference.

It may happen that you are obliged to pay the british VAT to Royal Mail or the customs.

We think that the validity of prescriptions will be the same as in the rules for prescriptions

from Switzerland and Norway. These prescriptions are valid.”

I received my prescription last week.

Hi Miranda, would you mind private messaging me too about this pharmacy? I usually get my private T3 prescriptions done in the Netherlands, but may need to switch now...

I'm very happy for you, Smash49 and I hope you continue to feel well.

I could weep though, at how difficult it is for so many to be properly treated.
