My private doctor on Harley Street has stopped writing a prescritpion for armour thyroid (forest pharmaceuticals) due to the Uk legisltation, which she tells me makes it very difficult. I dont want to go back on synthetic levothyroxine as it doesn't suit me. Can anyone tell me a UK doctor who will still prescribe armour thryoid - I am happy to pay and travel in the UK? Or is this impossible now?

I am not aware of any change in legislation which would impact the right of a doctor to prescribe Armour.
There most certainly is a problem in terms of other medics reporting doctors who do prescribe it to the GMC. So doctors are frightened that they could be struck off, having a hearing is bad enough even if they were not censured.

Maybe you should change your private doctor and see someone on the Thyroiduk.org doctors' list. If you email Louise.Warvill@Thyroiduk.org and ask for a copy.
Thankyou for this - that's great,
I will need to change my doctor this year and will have a look at the list - at the moment Dr S looks good in Birmingham
Many thanks for all your help and support

Ahh I hadn't appreciated this - thanks Louise - is there any private thyroid doctor I wonder who doesn't need a referral who will prescribe armour ?
I will look at the list again
Many Thanks for pointing this out to me .....
