Has anyone worked with Functional Thyroid Care?

My GP has withdrawn my 25mcg Levothyroxine he only just prescribed about a month ago on a trial basis because my TSH is fine. The only way I was able to persuade him to let me try 25mcg was I took him printouts from all the thyroid forums I am on and he also is aware that I have been complaining about extreme fatigue for years. He is the only GP that has actually not made me feel crazy. He referred me to a consultant Rheumatologist two years ago who diagnosed me with Chronic Fatigue.

Anyway, I told him I initially felt great on Levothyroxine and then worse about 3-4 weeks in. He called a consultant helpline right there and spoke with an Endocrinologist who said to withdraw the prescription and have me test TSH and Vitamin D. My GP has been very kind but I am done with the NHS on this matter.

I have tried a private Endocrinologist once in 2022 and after paying £££, he said my thyroid was fine and suggested Antidepressants.

I don't want to give up because the Levothyroxine did make a difference.

I have been recommended Dr Momi of Functional Thyroid Care and I would appreciate if anyone could share first hand experience if possible please? Please send a private message.

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.
