Covid & dosing
My temperature is high & I'm taking paracetamol for that.My question is, should I alter my T4/
NDT
dose? I haven't been ill at all since I started on thyroid meds in 2015. I wondered if I should increase, decrease or stay the same? Thanks

Still can’t lose weight - on NDT for 3 months
Up until now my TSH has bounced around from 3 - 11 (I did a lot of blood tests prior to starting
NDT
around Dec 21, 2023.) My antibodies are consistently very low (not Hashi’s). TSH 0.01 Free T3 6.1 Free T4 18.8 these numbers look great but I’m not feeling great.

ndt am/pm
Hi, I am starting my
ndt
with a 1/4 of a grain am and pm on a slow build. I wanted to know if
ndt
is best taken both morning and afternoon or can I take just morning? Fitting it around an Emory stomach in the afternoon is a bit tricky.

NDT, bedtime. Heart ectopics.
I’m been trying to get rid of them for many years. 6 months ago, I started taking
NDT
instead of Euthyrox and after three days the ectopics almost disappeared. But! Now they have returned after almost 6 months of being on 60mg of
NDT
.

where to source NDT?
Hi all, just wondering if any of you could advise me as where I could source
NDT
? I’ve been having Armour from America but the last delivery I was clobbered with a customs charge which was a bit painful, so don’t want to risk that again if there is an alternative way to purchase them.

Out of Date Erfa NDT
Hello, Can anyone tell me if they have taken out-of-date
NDT
? I have read that it may just be a little less effective but not harmful. Is this the case?

Morning? or Bedtime?
But naturally, because I like to experiment in hopes of feeling better, I decided to switch to taking my
NDT
around 10 pm, as I'm climbing into bed (at least 2 hrs after eating anything). This was 2 weeks ago, and so far I have to report that I DO feel better. I haven't needed a nap after lunch.

Amiriodone & NDT update
So I was put on Amiodarone post heart surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. I thought it was a three week course but it's not. Now on 200mg per day for the next few months . And yes I think it's messing my thyroid hormones up. I did protest over taking it...due to its high iodine content and contrary indications.

Small dose of levothyroxine - good or bad?
I did feel even better on
NDT
, but haven't taken that for a few years. I've recently been diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency (AI), believed caused by the steroid in my asthma inhaler.

Can I still get NDT/Thyroid S?
I had to stop taking
NDT
when COVID halted the supply. If anyone has information on how to obtain it now, can you please PM me. Levothyroxine is dire. Thanks. Xx

Can a Levo dose be split Am and Pm, and can NDT be taken Am and a Levo dose added PM?
I wasnt sure if anyone here has had success adding some Levo into their
NDT
regime in the afternoon, or whether its best to take Levo first thing in the morning (or bedtime if that the routine ) and or add a 2nd dose of Levo later in the afternoon or a 2nd dose being
NDT
....

Private endo
Hi, I’ve found a private endo that works at a hospital near me, Professor Parag Singhal, apparently according to his blurb he uses
NDT
and other combinations. He’s not on the Thyroid UK list as far as I can see, so just wondering if anyone here has used him?

Thyroid s and high cortisol
Question - on
ndt
1 grain my cortisol saliva test at 8-12 and 16 are double then they should be , 2 or even 3 times higher at 16.00 after my
ndt
dose kicks in. Why would it be? I’ve read that low cortisol hinders absorption of
ndt
but I’ve not read that
ndt
can cause high cortisol levels.

T4 in Levo v T4 in NDT
Taking
NDT
I have often wondered how long the T4 in
NDT
starts to work and how. In Levo everyone states six weeks before it starts to work. Does anyone have a clue it could be interesting but I cannot find any information on it.

A little update
I tried T4+T3 for years into the price hike, then I imported
NDT
, then imported T3. I tried diet, exercise, ensuring my vitamins were good. All of it. Last year my final throw of the dice was to start TRT - Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
