It's very hard to access specific medicines at the moment due to supply shortages. Can you find out what is available that you could tolerate and then get the doctor who writes your prescriptions to rewrite the prescription for whats available?

I'm sorry they have left you like this.

Could you write to the practice manager?

Have you tried Vencamil levothyroxine tablets

These are lactose and mannitol free. Many members find they are good

previously called Aristo (currently 100mcg only)

March 2023 - Aristo now called Vencamil

I am so sorry you have been left like this. Dont worry about the pre-diabetic thing, they tend to say that to everyone, and with your TSH that high, it will affect your blood sugar anyway.

A friend who was not getting anywhere with her GP and was being ignored went to A+E and lay down on the floor. She was seen within the hour and tested and treated, and I gather a sharp note from the hospital was sent to the GP.
