This is trivial compared with some of the problems we experience but it's bothering me and I don't know what to do. I moved to a new house and new surgery in April. In August I saw a new Endo who suggested I change from T3 only to T3 and T4, which is great, just what I wanted. He said to introduce the Levo and reduce the T3 to, at first, 10 mcg am, 10 noon and 10 pm, then, reduce to 10-10-5 then to 10-5-5 and eventually to 5-5-5 and to be seen again in 6 weeks time.
Sounds simple yes?
But since August I have been struggling with the surgery not following the endo's advice when prescribing because the letter from his said that he recommended I reduce that way but didn't actually instruct the surgery. I went back to the endo via secretaries for an email to the GP confirming, then another email. Meanwhile the endo (who was a locum) left and another consultant messaged the surgery confirming that he agreed with what I was saying I needed to do. Still the wrong prescription is being issued, 3 months on. I have spoken to the dispensary many times and emailed the surgery politely. It's not putting me at any risk, I'm just ending up with boxes and boxes of 10 mcg of Liothyronine, but I have to re-order every 2 weeks and it's annoying.
What do I do now since polite requests are not working, I don't really want to threaten so wold really appreciate advice?
Thanks in advance, I know some of you will have good ideas.
