You can, but UK docs are just as bad as US ones. I'm British by the way, but I've lived in the US for the last 7 years. Go to that site anyway because there are UK folks that have testimonials on it. You can also join the Yahoo Group which has a lot more info in there. You'll be able to find out from the Yahoo group what doctors in the UK are willing to prescribe Naturethroid or Armour Thyroid. There's one poor Dr over there that keeps being pulled up in front of the BMA to answer charges from other doctors about prescribing Armour etc but he keeps winning the cases because all of his patients back him up that they feel so much better under his care. I fear that his luck may run out though because some doctors really have it in for him.
Most people who are on the Yahoo Group end up self treating. You will be able to get the medication but you may have to get it from overseas. There are places that you can get it from without prescription too.

I have a feeling that if its on prescription, I will have a hell of a job persuading my doctor to give me this. dee _____ From: Donna M Lewis <[email protected]> Reply-To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2013 12:41:55 -0800 To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: RE: CS>Thyroid Resent-From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Resent-Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2013 12:44:16 -0800 Yep, it's Levothyroxine a T4 only medication. You will never get better on that. They prescribe it on the basis that your body converts the T4 to T3 in your body and it does, but that's not all you need. The body naturally produces T4, T3 (and the body converts more T4 to T3 when it needs it), T2 T1 and Calcitonin. T4 medication does not address the T2, T1 and calcitonin. No allopathic doctor or endocrinologist will medicate you so that your symptoms go away. In fact you may be unlucky enough to have to eventually see the doctor because of depression, weight gain (that you simply cannot lose regardless of how well you eat and exercise), sluggishness - no energy, all over body aches (fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome) all of which you'll be medicated for.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Many thanks. dee
