T3 friendly endo list

[vroooom5]

Hi, after 20 years on T4 only with below par physical health, and recently diving mental health , my eyes got opened to the thyroid madness, and now I want to try T3. Is there a list of T3 friendly endos in UK, preferably Kent? Is this maintained anywhere? thank you.

I'm under one in Kent and have recently started T3 after 18 years of T4 only hell. I did have six months on combined with an NHS endo who was very reluctant to do it and I had to pay privately for the prescription, but he then stopped prescribing without even so much as a blood test in making that decision. Long story short I'm now T3 only, this is because A. I have the faulty DI02 gene and B. since seeing the private doctor I was tested for reverse T3 which was very high. I now also take LDN (low dose Naltrexone) for the Hashimotos part. I'm really looking forward to my next set of blood tests as LDN can have a positive effect on the thyroid meaning lower doses of replacement hormones are a possibility. I'm only a few weeks in but feeling a distinct shift in my symptoms. I'm feeling hopeful that finally at the age of 59 I'm going to get my life and health back.
