Can NDT help with low calcium levels?
Since my total thyroidectomy in April I have been on put on 125 mcg of Levothyroxine and am tolerating it quite well ( no gastro problems like with most tablets and energy levels ok ) except for extreme muscle stiffness and joint pain. Calcium levels tend to be fluctuating between ‘ normal’ and low.

ADT and IBS symptoms worse
My Consultant asked that I also have a one of shot of another
ADT
(in addition to the tablet) immediately prior to start of RT. Since I had the shot ( 4 days ago) my IBS seems worse than ever - it's very bad anyway. Terrible diarrhoea, cramps etc.

How to obtain NDT (e.g., Armour/ERFA Thyroid)?
Hi, I have autoimmune hypothyroidism and I'm currently taking levothyroxine (25mg), but I've read that some people prefer taking NDT. I'm thinking of getting a prescription for NDT from a private UK doctor, but I was also wondering if I could get NDT from a reputable online source without a prescription

Recurrence and Arasec Phase 3
In August his PSA started creeping up from .02 after a 2.5 years
ADT
vacation and remission. He is still hormone sensitive. It tripled in September but still just under 2.0. October came in at 2.1. Yesterdays number is 8.1 At this point, is 8.1 predictive in any sense?

Monocular Vision Pain
Good evening, I lost sight in my right eye from a freak accident in January. I'm having constant eye pain in the good eye, I have seen many consultants that have examined the eye and unable to identify anything that could be causing the pain. I use eye drops daily, eye gel and many pain killers

Very slow start getting treatment and diagnosis
Hi everyone, My dad went to the doctor recently and discovered he has a psa of 255. His doctor ordered him a psma pet scan for a week later which was supposed to be today. He shows up and Kaiser cancelled the scan. They told me it happens a lot that radiology appointments need to be cancelled (? Not

Dr Antony Toft Thyroid specialist re treating some patients with combi of T3 to their Levo can somebody send me the link please
Hi All, I have a GP call today on the back of a pretty scathing consultant F/u letter, with the aim to get me off NDT (agreed by previous Consultant) to raise my TSH by giving me a lower dose of Levo. An all too familiar story I know. That said this is a new GP who possibly knows very little about DIO2

What Do You Make of This?
Is this saying that targeted treatment with no or limited
ADT
would have been sufficient, especially if HDR brachytherapy were used with IMRT?

Hi Peeps I was wondering if you could enlighten me a bit about cholesterol if you’re a ( treated ) hypothyroid person . I’ll give you a bit of background… I had been on plant sterols ( natural statins ) for a couple of years with no adverse effects , until June this year when I started getting

OVM-200 clinical trial
My red blood count is stubbornly under norms but he said it actually within norms for those on
ADT
? First I’d heard that
ADT
lowered blood counts tbh - I was thinking it was radiotherapy effects still!

T3 brands available on private prescription in the U.K.
Good afternoon everyone, Hope you are all as well as can be. I see a private endocrinologist who prescribes my NDT and T3. Currently, the T3 brand is Thybon Henning - reasonably priced. I keep it on my prescription for ‘emergencies’ because when I transitioned to Thybon from Grossman Cynomel

NDT has raised my thyroid anti-bodies. What's next?
Hi All, As I just made a post with my update on NDT (good T3 and T4 levels, but TSH is 0.017, so too low), I received my latest anti-bodies results. And they went up! I've heard some people shared how their anti-bodies went up as well on NDT. Yes, I'm on a gluten-free, whole food diet, been on

Taken off NDT
Hi there, my friend who has been well on NDT for many years now, has been taken off it by the endo who says he is no longer able to prescribe it. She has been given Liothyronine but is not well on it, and told her 'levels' are fine. She wants to look into getting a private prescription, but from my research

What TSH level is too low on NDT + low sodium
Hi All, I switched to NDT 6 weeks ago and have been dialing in my dose. I take Erfa NDT. I raised it up to 1 3/4 tablets, and have just tested my thyroid. I've read a lot of discussions here about NDT and TSH and from what I understand, from this big study when TSH gets lower than 0.3, it increases

Can I get Armour Thyroid or NDT from Crete without a prescription? Can I get it with a private prescription if not?
Hi everyone, I have been on Armour Thyroid for 22 years , I’m now 44. I was originally trialed on levothyroxine but there was absolutely no improvement, I was severely ill from a teenager, bed ridden with chronic pain and it was only when I was put on Armour Thyroid in my early 20s that I started to
