Having difficulties obtaining relief of hashimotoes. Doctor (UK, NHS) dos'nt consider T3 is needed to be tested for and says its not available to prescribe here. Rather than do more tests look for related issues for my inability to get relief (T3 adrenals etc) he asks if I ought to go back on psychiatric meds, once you get diagnosed with a mental condition, like bipolar they start seeing you as that and not a medical patient. For all those who have trouble in UK in waking doctors up about armour (t3/t4 combo) a letter on this site can be printed to give to doc to show mhra approval to those wishing to try it. Beware he/she may not be very happy about it.

Thank you, knowlegejunkie. I'm sure this will be helpful to our UK readers. Most of us are in the US and only vaguely aware of how the NHS works. Kudos to you for advocating for yourself.
