A doctor who prescibes NDT?

Hello everyone, long time no see. Thank you as usual for all of the lovely comments and PMs from my last post a few months ago. It really means a lot.

I'm sad to report that things have still not been easy for me thyroid-wise. The NHS only makes it more difficult for me to cope, especially with the added mental stress and gaslighting from consultants to deal with. Following my last post, it ended up being over a month before I got my T3 back. The registrar who took it away had no medical backing to do so, and ended up telling numerous lies even to his fellow staff to try and avoid reinstating my prescription. It's been a rough few months, and ultimately a rough year for me.

Although I do feel better with the added T3, I'm starting to wonder again if it's the Levo that's causing the majority of my lingering problems - perhaps my body just can't tolerate it, like some others can't. The NHS doesn't have a plan for people like us, so I'm starting to consider just going fully private. I've been seeing Dr Abbi Lulsegged, but haven't asked him about NDT yet - please PM me if you know whether he might be on board? He's quite expensive, so it would be helpful to know where he stands on it before booking another appointment with him. That being said, if you know of any other endos in general that prescribe NDT, please also send me a PM about that, too :)

I hope you're all keeping safe x
