Hello everyone,I wondered if anyone had seen this consultant and what your experience was please.I am currently with my local NHS endocrinologist but although a very nice man,he is a diabetic specialist and I believe out of his depth with my Graves.I am hoping to ask my GP for an NHS referral if my current endo isn't open to prescribing me T3.I am trying to keep all my options open.Please reply by direct messages if you have anything to report.Thankyou in advance.

You are advised to get full thyroid profile bloods done to include TSH, FT4 & FT3 + vitamins ferritin, folate, B12 & D3 and antibodies before your appointment to avoid wasting your first visit.
