The arrogance and closed mindedness of the medical profession in regard to this clinical problem is breath taking. Thank you for leading the campaign to give people with thyroid disorders a voice and a way to make some progress. I think it is awful that sufferers ( with symptoms that are so underestimated and frankly dangerous) have to fight so hard for a drug that costs a bit more than the NICE approved one, but that clearly helps ( and is a life saver) for so many. The NHS prescribes alternatives ( often expensive ones) for blood pressure issues or clotting problems so why not do the same for hypothyroidism, based on clinical need.
