what was that then Mal?!

As i say could be alot worse as at least i can work etc and have a normalish life just frustrating when i end up struggling at work cos of it and dont have the energy 2 go out alot of the time (prob dont help workin 45miles away either lol)

Ellie, yea thats the only thing the NHS prescribe, levothyroixne (T4) they also prescrible liothyroxine (t3) but both are synthetic and my body doesnt take to either.

The private doc told me about Armour thyroid which he prescribes for people, its a natural replacement hoarmone harvested from pigs thyroid glads and has 76mcg of levo and 18mcg of lio in a 2 grain tablet.

Works ok to an extent with me as i have been alot better from taking it over the last few years but am suffering again for some reason so having to have blood test and adjusting dosages.
Luckly my gp does me a prescription now so dont have to see the private bloke but its still a private prescription and the tabs are about £50 odd for 100, i take 1 tab a day plus at the mo 100mcg of levothyrxine, was on 150 but was too high aparently!!!

The reason the NHS dont use it is to some extent being natural the tabs so they say dont always have exactly what it should all the time but tbh i couldnt care less as long as it works!! but they still wont prescribe it, had my thyroid totally taken out so takes a bit of common sense a synthetic drug may not work for everyone but they couldnt give 2 shits!!! So dont bother seeing my 'specialist' anymore.

I had a letter from work explaining the problems i was having, 1 from the private specialist but they still didnt wanna know, nice to know my tax money is helping me out lol.
