Hi I am looking for an endocrinologist in or around London you will treat hypothyroidism with T3. The GP will only prescribe T4 which does nothing for treating my symptoms and only raises my T4 levels slightly.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Welcome to the group.

As you have requested an Endo recommendation this needs to be by private message only and the post locked as we cannot post info about doctors in the group.

Please do start a new post with your latest thyroid and vitamin results for member recommendations. Often we can help improve things a lot.

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.

Discussions about individual doctors should be via private message (chat) as not permitted on forum.

(The post will be closed to avoid inadvertent replies) all can still see & private message.

Have you obtained the Thyroid UK has compiled of private GPs & Endocrinologists. You can obtain list by contacting Thyroid U.K. either by emailing info@thyroiduk.org or using this online form thyroiduk.org/about-thyroid...

Also consider Zoom consultations are an option for endocrinologist further from your area. Always arrange a full thyroid & nutrient test before attending any consultation, to gain most from appointment.

This link lists private blood test companies, some have discounts available. Or please repost specifically about vitamin testing if you need further advice.

Recommend you arrange to complete a full, current set of thyroid function / antibodies & key nutrients - folate,ferritin, B12 & vitamin D tested before attending consultation.

Please start another post with any recent results & history and members can offer further advice. You may have lots more options than Introducing T3.

As you said you wish for T3 you may also be approached by members recommending you self source. (Without prescription) Please read the following post fully:
