I have just watched "The Thyroid Secret" and was amazed at the amount of information given for free. It has enabled me to feel I can take charge of my situation and improve my health.
They have just announced they are showing it again and I wondered if anyone else would be interested.
This is the link www.thethyroidsecret.com/replay.

Just caught up with your post Badenkate hope you can get something sorted there was another forum recently about thyroid problems I confess I haven't read it in depth but I think one of the posters was writing about an alternative remedy might be worth a look

I have seen your post. This information is very useful for young doctors.

confused
Not a lot of young doctors trawling through GN I suspect - neither the time nor the inclination.

I read last evening that NICE are stopping the prescribing of T3. This does not work for all people but is a great help to those it does work for. It is leaving only the Levothyroxine for sufferers and they know it fails to work for a many people. The natural thyroxine is not allowed to be prescribed even privately despite trials showing it by far the best replacement.

Best test is do you quarrel with your partner over the bedclothes?

Well yes, Galen, I do feel cold. Often sit with a hwb on the sofa and hands always cold. I hadn't considered this to be a symptom of hypothyroidism. Bloods last week were "within normal range". I thought having cold hands and feet was just me.
