Hi,
My NHS endocrinologist retired and now the current one won't prescribe Armour Thyroid and so I am having to pay for it privately, which I can't afford to continue to do. Does anyone have the name of an NHS endocrinologist that does prescribe Armour Thyroid to their patients, so I can ask my GP to refer me to them instead?
Many thanks,
Claire.
