GP has got no idea of how to treat my hypothyroidism. Any good Endo in London, not very expensive, please? I am self funding.

Finally I got referral letter to see Endo at the london Clinic. As I am self funding I find it very expensive. Previous Endo and GP have messed with my medication for the last 2 years. My late4st blood test results are: 0.2 TSH, 162.0 T4, 21.4FT4, 6.2 FT3, 0.65 rT3.

Anyone can help me? Any good Endo not as expensive as almost 300 pounds per consultation, please?

I cannot help you with your particular question, but you might find very helpful, if you have not read it, "Stop the Thyroid Madness" by Janie Bowthorpe.

The Endo at Whipps Cross (Dr Levy) is excellent, I am unsure if he works privately, but I guess a phone call may help?
