Title: Please help re thyroid
Post by: Floral on November 23, 2023, 01:57:17 PM
Ladies, without going into too much detail, I have been advised to seek NDT treatment or T3.

I emailed famous UK author P….of thyroid books (not sure if I can name him on here) and he said my T3 was low at 3.9 range 3.1-6.8 and reason for all my awful symptoms.

Please can anyone recommend some doctor who could help me?

Prob best to pm me 🌻

I will PM you but for anyone else reading you can contact Thyroid UK who hold a list of T3 and NDT friendly endocrinologists.

You'll likely need to go private.

Please don’t apologise wrensong, as I said my FT3 is low and I have a lot of hypo symptoms.  I did get a recommendation on here so went ahead and booked.

I just know my current symptoms are not all menopause.

I hope you are well x

Floral, didn't you get your bloods tested through thethyroidclinic.co.uk ? You can make online appointments with Dr Conway via that site, especially now you have bloods. You will also need rT3 tested really.
