Afternoon all

Has anyone any positive experiences with endocrinologists that will prescribe T3?

Mine used to but not now.

He has offered to refer me to another endocrinologist but I don't know of any that will prescribe T3.

I would be grateful if anyone out there could recommend an endocrinologist in the UK that could help me.

[North East England]

King regards

Jane

You can name a doctor when asking for feedback on the forum, but replies to smilingjane need to be via private message.

A list of thyroid -friendly endos (NHS and private) can be requested by contacting TUK:

With any recommendation that you get, it is advisable to complete further research yourself before making a decision.

It is a good idea to have thyroid blood tests (TSH, FT4 and FT3) alongside key vitamins (ferritin, folate, B12 and vit D) prior to your appointment. This allows you to discuss the results with the endo at the first meeting.

Admin will close this post to replies, as per forum guidelines. However it may be useful if you state a geographical region you live in/ would be able to travel to, so I will leave open for a short period for you to edit your post

It would help if you gave us an idea of the general area you live in. I doubt you want to travel to Scotland if you live in Wales. ;)
