Hypothyroid practitioner - experiences please?

Hello,

I wonder if anyone could share their experience with non-NHS practitioners who can prescribe prescription meds, treat under active thyroid?

I have many symptoms of being hypothyroid, and have seen an NHS haematologist, who is sympathetic but can't do anything, as I am just in range. I have problems converting T4 to T3 (homozygous for DI01 and DI02). Also issues around adrenaline/cortisol.

I'm in Sussex but can travel a reasonable distance or do appt over Zoom. I've looked at the (useful) Thyroid UK list - I would be very grateful to hear any experience.

Please send all response by private message only.

Many thanks.

Sarah

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.
