Hi can any recommend any private practitioners to interpret and prescribe t3 if needed. I’m thinking of arranging home test kit, and was wondering how to move foward after get results. My bloods are showing within range, but I continue to feel very tired, and my main issue is hair loss eyebrows and eyelashes going now :(

Many thanks

Jenna

We can't discuss individual practioners on the forum, if anyone has any recommendation for you they will send information in a private message but you are urged to do plenty of research on them as a practioner who suits one person may not suit another.

You can send for the list of thyroid friendly endos from, both NHS and private, from ThyroidUK by emailing:

tukadmin@thyroiduk.org

There is also a list of private doctors and practioners which you can obtain by clicking on the "Please contact us" link here:

thyroiduk.org/help-and-supp...

None of the doctors or practioners on the lists are ThyroidUK recommended, it is a list compiled from positive feedback received from some members.

I will turn off replies so that no information about any practioners is posted on the forum.

Come back with new post once you get FULL thyroid and vitamin testing results

Remember to stop taking any supplements that contain biotin a week before all blood tests as biotin can falsely affect test results

Only do private testing early Monday or Tuesday morning, ideally before 9am and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

Try to always get same brand levothyroxine at each prescription

Bloods should be retested 6-8 weeks after any dose change or brand change in levothyroxine

Not what you're looking for?
