"Tracey Buckenham, left, and Tara Riddle of Norfolk Thyroid Group, are delighted that the T3 drug for under-active thyroids has been reintroduced after it was taken off prescription.

Well done ladies!

What a relief for those who've had it withdrawn and the doctors seem unaware of the awful anxiety we undergo due to withdrawals of thyroid hormones that help us recover our health

[Frolie]

Congratulations to all involved!

So uplifting to read about success stories. Let’s hope other CCG take note!

It was 3 years of hard work in Norfolk to get the CCG to agree to reinstate T3, but if we can do it Norfolk, other local groups could do it too. Find a local thyroid support group, or set one up (on Facebook perhaps as that's easy), research local policies, compile all national guidelines, request a meeting. 'Polite, professional, but persuasive' was our way of working.
