From my endocrinology appointment earlier this week , and a different North East Health Trust
using the term " Health loosely ".
My response " and do you have a problem with that " . he had no come back just mumbled something about heart attack , and i wouldn't be getting any from him . this was after i told him the GP suggested it and would possibly be willing to prescribe . Heck i don't even know if i want the stuff .
in summery -
He was irritated i was even there .
Offred to solutions other than take more levothyroxine the skies the limit
Implied i wasn't taking my medication it was my fault
couldn't even tell you his name because he mumbled it twice and had no name badge
I left feeling totally defeated , i feel my life has no value to the NHS , i will never trust any Dr again with any condition . At the moment I'm down and out . trying to process the experience and figure out what next .

Where do they find these people. If you get a copy of the follow up letter to your GP would this numpty's name be on it and if so could you complain? There must be a very deep well of idiots somewhere and the NHS dredges them up to talk absolute nonsense to patients.
God the absolute cheek of wanting to feel better, the very nerve.
Street drugs that 'feel good' are much easier to get hold of than Liothyronine is .
if 'feelgood' effect was all people were after , very few of them would bother putting themselves through the emotional and physical grinding mill of NHS endocrinology to try and get prescribed T3 .
and if this muppet really thinks T3 is so much 'fun', have they never wondered why there is absolutely zero market for it among those who illegally use MDMA or THC for enjoyment ? ..... it's because it's no more 'fun' than drinking 6 expresso's in a sauna would be , that's why.
you would struggle to give it away to anyone looking for 'feelgood/ fun' ... it would be like going to a cocktail bar and offering shots of benylin ... useful if you need it , and will make you feel better ... but not 'fun' to use if you don't need it .
The only place I've seen T3 used outside of a medical need is by bodybuilders who are trying to cut bodyfat. And even they aren't doing it for the high.
I can't word it better than all the others.... take from this that you have been failed (along with most of us here) and are now empowered to treat yourself as it is by far the best option, you know what you need, you've done the research, we are all here to help 🤗
Classic tattybogle T3 is certainly hitting the spot there😁
As Tigger says you've got nothing to lose in treating yourself, you've tried the good patient route and they've failed you.
You owe them nothing but you owe it to yourself to feel better if possible. Lots of us source T3 and your very regrettable experience demonstrates why. In a weird way I feel empowered by your experience although I'm extremely sorry you had to go through it.
Because if any doctor in the future challenges me about why I take T3 I shall simply reply" because I wanted to feel better" . Personally I've wasted enough time feeling crap.
Also am I right in thinking the NE area is the worst for getting T3?
you are correct , a certain misogynistic Professor is based up here and unfortunately has massive influence not only locally but nationally . But us poor North Easterners appear to bear the brunt as if we hadn't been dealt a bad enough wrap to begin with
I thought I remembered some forum members mentioning this person and I'm sure it was in the NE. Well if that sort of pig headedness is what you are facing its even more grist to the mill of getting your own T3 and figuratively and literally flipping the bird to him 🖕
I have actually had this said to me 3 times by 3 different medics over the years that "anyone who takes t3 will feel good" It does make you think that the medical profession think that t3 is a bit of a recreational drug. Not a replacement hormone that your body needs to be well and function because you're not able to produce it yourself 🤦🏼♀️
Its pretty worrying that they think a hormone that normal healthy people produce effortlessly is the same as booze or cannabis. I wonder if they tell Addison's patients the same about Hydrocortisone or Diabetics about insulin.
You do sometimes wish these doctors could experience what its like to be hypo and perhaps develop a bit of empathy. Their lack of both knowledge and compassion is concerning.

Increased anxiety…
Menopaused. Would starting HRT mean reducing NDT? Has anyone experience of this please?
I’m fine. Really?
Thyroidectomy or not? Thyroidmegaly and multi modular goiter. 
which levothyroxine brands are made in 75 mcg?
