Day 3

Changed to gluten free

Itching skin on face disappeared and can actually pull on my trousers-no swollen stomach

Sorting supplements but still researching

Two Brazil nuts a day for selenium

Drinking more hot water and changing to caffeine free tea

No weight loss

Will post next week

I see there are over 33,000 people here

Do you think the Government should step up and review the whole Thyroid medicine?

There’s much confusion and unwell people out there?

I think we'll be waiting a long time for them to wake up to our issues, they seem to prefer to prolong suffering rather than make people well 😖

Seems to be the truth for many of us struggling along, thankfully we have this forum which is way more advanced than I think anything we'll be offered by the NHS

There’s actually over 137,000 members

Almost 2 million people in U.K. on levothyroxine, about 90% are female

And yes UK treatment guidelines need significant overhaul

Good heavens - I’ve just seen a big pink pig fly past the window!

To answer your question - they should but it’s very unlikely that they ever will ☹️
