Frustrated

[Flowerlover61]

I live in the S.W and after being on Amour Thyroid for about 20yrs I have purchased my tablets from a US pharmacy which sometimes mean I have to pay tax on that ,recently it was £46.So last week I paid to see an Endo , privately hoping to get a private prescription so I could get my tablets from the UK.

Well it didn't go well ,she wouldn't entertain the idea and wrote me out one for Levothyroxine ( which does nothing for me ) and T3. She was worried about getting struck off.

Would she be able to write me one for Armour Thyroid ?

Welcome to the group. If you could complete your profile it helps members understand your thyroid journey so far and be able to advise you better. Click on your image icon to start. Fill out the free text box at the top.

When seeing an Endo or any dovtor privately its wise to research their views on whichever therapy you are seeking. Very few will prescribe Armour.

You can email [e-mail] for a list of Endos. Contact their secretary to see if they will prescribe it or make a post here asking for recommendations in your general area. Remember some do virtual appointments now. The post asking for recommendations will be locked so no information is posted publicly and people can send you a personal message.

I suspect if her initial reaction was just to prescribe Levo then I doubt she will ever prescribe NDT.

Did you ask about T3? You could take Levo + T3 which suits some when NDT becomes prohibitavely expensive.

Sounds like you would be better off contacting Roseway Labs as they can consult, prescribe and dispense, I've no idea what they charge for Armour but the consultation is £60
