Switching to NDT or adding T3?
Hi everyone, Related to my earlier post about sources of T3 and NDT I'd like some advice on whether and how to take these. I had an appointment with an NHS endocrinologist this week who dismissed my symptoms and refused any dose or medication changes. He insisted that the following results were '

18 weeks pregnant on NDT with low T4
I was diagnosed with Hashi while going through my first round of IVF in May. Endo put me on a very low dose of Levo (50mcg) and when my TSH was low enough, he told me to stop. IVF cycle failed and when I retested my TSH a few weeks later, it was 56. Started on Levo again and felt awful. Ended up getting

Sources of T3/NDT
Hi everyone, Following my recent test results in which my T3 levels had dropped (with no change of dose) and meeting with an endocrinologist who insisted everything was 'optimal' (although only just within range) I would like to explore either adding T3 or switching to NDT. I would like to know of

How long until T3 peaks. How long lasts?
Having the hardest time figuring out how long in between my doses I should wait? I'm on NDT. Concerned more w T3 than w T4. But if you have something to say about either, please let me know. Thank you. How long for T3 to peak and how long does it stay your system? 😌 please and I appreciate any knowledge

SlowDragon please comment on my situation if you're around.
Hi, I'm not able to get labs until Jan. 13, hopefully. This clinic is going under and everyone is struggling to be seen in this tiny community in the middle of nowhere. I am tired most of the time. However, I did walk the furthest today than I have in a month so maybe things are getting better

B12 sublingual
Hi, I suppose this has been addressed before, but....Is there any reason not to take sublingual B12 around the same time as ndt? Usually I space the sublingual B12 a couple hours away from ndt but figured the B12 is bypassing the digestive system & the ndt is not. My TSH, FT4&3 are all good. Since

TSH is too low because I increased NDT too quickly to 2 grains- I have now reduced

Asymmetrical Transport of Thyroxine Across Human Term Placenta
This new study https://pure.eur.nl/en/publications/asymmetrical-transport-of-thyroxine-across-human-term-placenta is behind a paywall. I have a copy, it’s not easy to follow but essentially says little T4 crosses the full term placenta from mother to baby but T4 rapidly crosses from baby to mother.

Zytiga failure after 4 years what now
Back on
Adt
and Zytiga . PSA went down, but now has risen from .36 to .56 to 1.15 . Zytiga has failed . Doc says no chemo for now . Just not enough cancer and I’m doing way too well for it . . I know SOC is Xtandi but she says it’s short lived if works at all . Looking for a clinical trial .

sleepiness or agitation
hi My husband suffered a brain injury in a RTA on 24/11/3023. He gained consciousness about 2.5 weeks ago. He is still in ICU being weaned off his vent with an trach. Over the last 5 days he has been not sleeping through the night and therefore being very sleepy most of the day time. When not asleep

Daft question I’m sure - re NDT and effects of withdrawal
Hi I know this is probably going to be a stupid question. But being a bit cash strapped this month so ran out of NDT 3 weeks ago. I was taking 60mg in conjunction with thyroxine , 75mcg - reason I was put on it was due to poor t3 conversion so whilst my tsh looked over supressed my t3 was always sitting
