Getting Ndt.s On Prescription

Updated

I have been having a severe adverse reaction to Levothyroxine with endless different symptoms depending on what brand I have been given. I am now unable to take more than 50 mg of Mercury Brand only. If I try to put it up to 75 mg I become very ill. After much research I have found information most from Thyroid UK about Natural Desicated Thyroid which is made from pig glands, Levothyroxine is synthetic. I have asked my GP to provide a Special Prescription for this, I am, however not holding out a lot of hope here that I am going to get it, despite Thyroid UK saying that GP's can prescribe it on Special Prescriptions. Has anyone managed to get their GP to prescribe it? Can they advise me on the best way to go about this? Also if I go ahead in desperation and buy it on a Private Prescription has anyone been successful in then getting the NHS to pay for it? I am retired on a State Pension and will have to use my savings to do this.
