> Thank you Bozeman, you've made me feel vindicated and that always makes me feel better. And I'll definitely make my Dr read this information. How did you get hold of a T3 supplement? Take care
> FredMy doctor told me there are very few pharmacies that dispense it, as it is compounded individually (and not patented, since it's natural source) for each patient out of (whatever the raw materials are.) In the US I think there are only three pharmacies that dispense it. She called in my initial prescription for it and they mailed it to me ( I think it's Taylor's Pharmacy in Orlando, FL, USA.) I have to have refills shipped to me, and of course the pharmacy is OON (out of network) so the HMO laughs at it, so I pay for it myself.
It's out there, but not so easy to find. I feel lucky my doctor knew what to do and where to get what I needed.
