General questions about starting NDT
Question: Is it ok to put the 25mg
powder into a glass of water and drink it?
Another question: Should I take the
at a different time of day to any supplements (D3, K2, magnesium), or does the timing not matter?

Advice on raising NDT
Does anyone know why increasing the
NDT
dose increases my pain and whether this would be expected to settle (the pain increase I had when I first started
NDT
hasn't subsided and that was 5 weeks ago). I am menopausal and I started
NDT
5 weeks ago.

Please can someone message me with how to get
ndt
without prescription in the uk. I’ve been suffering on levo for 12 years and have forgotten what the real me actually feels like it’s been so long. My bloods are in the normal range so my doctor has no concerns but I’m desperate for help.

Help with timing of NDT prior to blood tests
Would any of you knowledgeable people be able to advise me of the best time to take
NDT
prior to blood tests. I take Armour 1 grain twice a day. The first is usually around 6am and the second around 3pm. Does the same convention for blood tests when on Levo and Lio apply to
NDT
?

NDT to T3 & T4 - brands, and how to transition?
I'm assuming I would translate my current dose of 1.75 grain
NDT
into the equivalent T3 & T4 and start on that? I (perhaps unwisely) started on
NDT
as I was given the option of any treatment by a private GP and from my reading thought that was the best chance I had to get well.

How quickly does TSH increase when you stop taking NDT?
I buy some of my
NDT
without a script, I take 120mg per day. My GP prescribes me 90mg a day. So I get the rest elsewhere. My GP doesn’t understand that TSH is suppressed on
NDT
, and I’m not going to be successful in educating him.

Are some private endos prescribing NDT so they can keep you as a private patient?!
Is it maybe a cynical plan to keep you private as
NDT
is not available on the NHS whereas Liothyronine can be prescribed on the NHS if a good case is put forward for it?

Synthetic Thyroid Meds just not suiting me
Hello all, I used to take Thiroyd

Can anyone advise where I can get
NDT
in UK? I was taking Thiroid by Nature Pharma which worked well for me, but they stopped making it a few years back. I got as batch of Thyroid-S (4 x 500) which does not agree with me as well but still way better than Levo.

Cortisol saliva test and NDT dose
However, when I did the last cortisol saliva test I was not taking
NDT
.
Do I take my
morning dose before the 8am saliva test or after? (I usually take it around 7.30/8 so I can do it before or after.) With thanks!

NDT dosing where insomnia is an issue
Interested to hear how others do their
NDT
dosing where insomnia is a big issue. I’m about to have a
NDT
increase (currently 4 months into treatment, at 3/4 grain) Insomnia is chronic. Horrible. Even on 20mg amitripyline, it’s still an issue.

Erfa to Liothyronine Thybon Henning Dose Conversion
I have a feeling he has given me a dose that is quite a bit lower than what I used to take in
NDT
, yet I don't want to swing on the other end and end up with low T3.

NDT
? Thanks 🙏

Thybon v Teva T3
I am awaiting a Levo prescription to 'add in', as I have had to stop taking ThyroidS
NDT
due to 'toxicity' type symptoms. (I have other health issues going on at the moment). Not sure whether the Levo will be different from the natural
NDT
T4, but I want to give it a go.

Sourcing NDT medication
Hi, I’d appreciate anyone who can PM me with their current source for thyroid medication. I’m in the UK and managed to get Thyroid-s from a thailand shop a few years back, which was much better value than the US pharmacy I was using before that, but I’ve discovered they no longer exist. Hope you can
