New UK resident looking for thyroid care

3 months ago•1 Reply

Hi Everyone, I recently moved to South Wales from the U.S. Now that I'm getting more settled, I decided it's time to find health care here!

My Hashimoto's is pretty well controlled with levothyroxine, T-3, and low dose naltrexone, and I have enough to last me for a few months while I look for a doctor here. I was wondering if anyone could message me with a doctor/clinic recommendation? I saw that there is a Thyroid Clinic (Dr Conway's), and I have also considered sourcing my own medication since I've been stable for a number of years.

Thank you in advance for any recommendations! Stacy

Welcome to the UK Devilscupcake

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

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

thyroiduk.org/contact-us/ge...

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.

If you can advise re obtaining thyroid medication please private message this information too.
