rai or surgery and the need for high serum levels of thyroid hormone

[Guest guest]

Heidi,

Nick Foot who has a reverse t3 website had a problem like that, his meds

were having to be increased year after year, I remember because I

typed up his speech which he gave at the october meeting...... Have a

look and see what he said..... here's the link.....

If the link doesn't work, or you'd rather listen to the MP3 version,

there's a link to the Birmingham meeting on the TPA website on the news

section.

Thanks for your comment.I have spoken to nick and tried just taking t3 I needed

about 250mcg daily and didn,t feel as good as on a mixture of t3 t4

My big worry is that i currently receive my meds on the nhs but gp is worried as

the rcp are trying to ban the prescribing of any t3 containing meds.The price of

cytomel on the nhs is currently £40 for 28 tabs,what a rip off no wonder the nhs

is struggling.

I have bought some from the mexican pharmacy which i supplement with my nhs

script.

The only way i think to get around this ban on t3 products is to have a

different diagnosis i.e fybromyalgia.

i receive my erfa in 500 pot of 2 grains which cost £250.
