Starting on Armour
Starting on Armour for first time tomorrow, I have been told to take 1/2 grain at 8am and 1/4 grain at 3pm. According to the Thyroid Pharmacists conversion table that is equivalent to 75 levo, I am currently only on 50 levo which I have been told to stop while I trial the Armour. I tried 75 levo 3

Advice please
I had a senior moment this evening and when I went to take my magnesium as I do every night, I mistakenly lifted my levothyroxine and took it instead. I normally take it in the morning. Should I NOT take it in the morning now or should I just carry on as normal. This has never happened me before.

Help with prescription
Hi, I currently take Levothyroxine in 25 mcg and 50 mcg, the pharmacy only have the 50’s and not the 25’s. Does anyone know if they can issue the 50’s and let me take the prescription for the 25’s elsewhere, or would I need to get the doctors to make two separate prescriptions? Thank you

Different brands of Liothyroxine
Hi just a quick question. I am one of the fortunates that had an endo willing to prescribe T3. My first prescription was issued by the hospital pharmacy and my second by my local pharmacy… they are two different brands (I haven’t started taking either yet for reasons not related ) I queried this with

Converting dosages
I’m currently taking approximately 100mcg Levo does this equate to 1 grain of NDT? Thanks 🙏

Levothyroxine and arrhythmia
Diagnosed with hypothyroidism in infancy. Been on treatment my entire life. Currently 200mcg levo daily. Last few years been having ectopic heartbeats and arrhythmia. Anybody else had this and is it linked to thyroid hormone treatment?

LT4 and oral contraceptives
I think I am going through perimenopause because of irregular period, dry, irritated eyes and sleepless nights. Symptoms are worse when ovulating and at beginning and end of period. I am on levothyroxine because half of my thyroid has been removed. So symptoms can also be related to or enhanced

New results from GP blood test
So the saga continues. Previously battles with GP over meds, even though I am open and honest about self treating T3 and SI B12, trying my best to impart some knowledge or even a little common sense. Reluctantly reduced Levo a bit, from 150mcg to 125mcg daily. Last bloods 15/12/23, TSH 0.01

Take the sertraline or not?
I’m not doing so well and have nobody to talk to who knows about this stuff. After ongoing problems, the dr has now given me Sertraline. I’m not convinced as I’m sure the whole problem is my thyroid (mentioned before on here, looks like I’m not converting well). I’m seeing a private Endo in three

Hello, I’m still quite new to the group. History of hypothyroid 9 years. Less well controlled symptoms last 18+months. If I’m honest I’ve never felt the same since going through huge stress 5 years ago when my husband was having treatment for a serious illness right after I’d just had our second
