As she swelters in the unprecedented heat, Fiona finds London anything but healthful, and decides it's time to get back to Greece. This is Part III of Fiona's continuing saga, which began with her leaving her high-stress, 24/7 internet job in California to live on the Greek Island of Corfu, and regain her health after a diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Read the latest installment now. If you haven't been following Fiona's story so far, be sure to read Part 1, and Part 2 of her ongoing saga now.)
I’ve just read this with great interest. 2 months ago I was diagnosed with borderline under-active thyroid after 3 years of knowing something was desperately wrong. I have been prescribed 50mg of levothyroxine and all though feeling marginally better I am still not 100 percent. Thing is I am about to move to the island of Crete, Greece because of the reasons you went. But I am worried that I may not get the correct treatment as I am in the early days of diagnosis. My GP hasn’t worried about blood tests. I am thinking should I ask for some T4 and T3 before I go, or even ask for Armour? But I don’t know if these are easily available in Greece, can anyone help? I am 34
many thanks
