For the NHS to provide better testing, and offer an alternative in medication.
At the moment, all GP's only offer is to run just TSH. I am requesting for an additional T4 and T3 to be run as standard, and according to NICE guidelines. We patients are also only offered Levothyroxine, which there should be an alternative.
I attach releavant information direct from NICE guidelines regarding how treatment and testing should be offered.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
T3 can still be prescribed to people if this initiated by a consultant endocrinologist in the NHS. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition asking the NHS to change their guidance, to make T3 more widely available or to carry out a review into the availability of T3, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
