Welcome to the group.

If you have a prescription then there are several pharmacies you can use. Recommended to phone around for quotes before purchase.

Most people start on 50mcgs Levothyroxine.

Your post might attract a personal message from the scammers that lurk here so I will also post the usual warning about buying medications.

⚠️ IMPORTANT! When you receive a message with a recommendation, please do not assume it is genuine!

Scammers are joining the forum on a very regular basis and messaging members with their assertions that they have successfully purchased xyz medication from zyx source.

Once you have what you think may be a genuine recommendation, you are strongly encouraged to message an Admin to ask whether the admin team have any feedback on the source you've been given.

⚠️ Don't part with your much needed money until you are as sure as you can be that the source is genuine.

Here’s link for how to request Thyroid U.K.list of private Doctors emailed to you, but within the email a link to download list of recommended thyroid specialist endocrinologists

Ideally choose an endocrinologist to see privately initially and who also does NHS consultations so that might eventually transfer to NHS
