12 months ago, we found out I had low ft4 levels with a normal Tsh. I was advised that my thyroid "was likely on the way out" by my gp surgery however they weren't going to treat just yet. Monitoring of bloods every 3-6months. It remained low, therefore I sought out the help of a private GP who was willing to help.
My symptoms are now stable levels normalised and i am now expecting however my gp surgery and my Community Pharmacy Hub are refusing to prescribe levothyroxine for me. No one has spoken to me to give me a reason as to why I wont be prescribed it. It is causing me an undue amount of distress as i dont have enough medication to see me through the weekend. I dont know how detrimental this could be to me or my pregnancy.
I intend to raise a formal complaint with NHS Lanarkshire regarding this. I understand GPs are independent and community pharmacy hubs are part of CTAC/PCIP but Zero communication is unacceptable!!!!
