private Endo

Hi everyone. Like many on here my T3 low, my GP quite ignorant and an NHS Endo I saw last year (just so GP would give an increase in Levo!) discharged me after first visit before I’d even had the blood tests she recommended! Can anyone PM me and recommend a knowledgeable Endo who prescribes T3? I live in Lancashire. Thank you very much.

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.
