Desperately looking for T3

Hi there,

Where can I get T3 without a prescription please?

I have recently relocated to England from Asia where I was being successfully treated for Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism with a conbination of T3 and T4.

I find myself running out of T3 now and after speaking to my new GP today, she made it very clear that I would not get T3 prescribed in this country and wants to see me to "adjust my treatment" and change it to just T4.l :(

I was on T4 for almost five years with no improvement whatsoever until I found a doctor in Asia who, after running lots of tests and trying several things put me on T3/T4. My life changed completely for the better after that. I do not want to go back to just T4.

My Asian doctor kindly agreed to see me over online consultation but by the time that happens and I get T3 prescribed I'll probably be dead!!!

Any help much appreciated please!!

You will probably receive suggestions for where to buy it without prescription and that will meet all your needs.

You may also want to consider that Thyroid UK will give you a list of private endocrinologists and the list notes the practitioners that are known to have prescribed T3.

You need to email Thyroid Uk via the website for the list.

Replies to your previous posts from many experienced members here have explained time and again that you need an increase in Levo not the addition of T3.
