Increased bloating, gas and burning sensation in throat (?heartburn). On NDT
I am currently using NDT, and I have been taking Thyroid S for several years with varying batch success. I have just started a new batch 23T01008. I have also been trialling Roseway Labs Compounded NDT on and off due to the fewer ingredients to see if it suited me better as I have not been feeling optimum

teeth clenching
I’m titrating NDT Armour over the last year but I’ve got a hypo symptom that’s bothering me, nighttime teeth clenching. I have no knowledge I’m doing this. I take amitriptyline and once I get to sleep midnight to 1am, I’m out for the count. I think the dentist told me September 2023 that I was clenching

Low blood pressure and pulse -Orgovyx and flomax -AND CIALIS?
I am now starting to have major fatigue from the
ADT
and Low BP 96/49 , and low pulse 48. (having headaches, and dizziness (hypotension symtoms). I was supposed to star with the cialis but afraid it will cause worse hypotension and symptoms?

To ARi or not to ARi, that is the question
- Is the plan to stop
ADT
after 6mos a good one or is the 2yr
ADT
SoC still preferable? Getting my "woody" back sooner rather than later would be a plus.

Orgovyx vs. Lupron, (with Enzalutimide or Abiraterone).
I just started
ADT
which consisted of a loading dose made up of 2 shots of Firmagon in the stomach. While the shots did not hurt much, it was about 8 hours later that experienced a lot of pain at the injection sites.

Thyroid - related test results
Hello Is anyone able to interpret the test results my endo requested in addition to the usual Thyroid tests? These are they: FSH 9.4, LH 2.8; Prolactin 190; Testosterone 21.3; Cortisol 350. I think he's concerned about my Pituitary Gland. ALSO: I've been tying myself in knots over the equivalence

How to Change to NDT
Any advice as to the best way to transition from 119 mcg Levo to NDT, in a gentle way. I have no thyroid. For example do I stop the Levo one day and start NDT the next, and if so what dose, or do a reduced dose of both for a few days/weeks until acclimatised? How much NDT should I take, both at the

Where to get NDT
I'll keep this short. I have no thyroid. I'm on 119 mcg Levo and have just been on 2.5 - 5mcg Lio (I started low and slow), but stopped as I had random chest pains and feeling rubbish after a month or so on it. I'm now considering trying NDT as a replacement. Please PM me with any recommendations of

T3 equivalent of NDT
Hello A very clever person on here worked out the likely mcg of T3 & T4, contained in 3.5 grains of NDT from Thailand. Unfortunately I've mislaid the post. I'm seeing my endo on Wednesday and I want to understand why he put me on such low doses of Synthetic T3 & T4 for eight weeks. The new blood tests

Private Consultation Findings - thoughts on next steps
Hello everyone. I am looking for some advice and experiences on Dienogest / Zalkya. Diagnosed in 2022 via lap by general gynae and never prescribed anything. Own GP has tried me on contraceptives & meds for pain management, which nearly tipped me over the edge. After a scare with my mental health,

Results after 14 weeks on Armour
Hello, so I've been on Armour for 14 weeks now and these are my current bloods: TSH - 0.007 T4 - 13.7 (12-22) T3 - 6.3 (3.3 - 6.8) My doctor (private specialist) said ideal bloods on Armour would be T4 12-14 and T3 5.5-6.5, and TSH would be suppressed. So going by that, it seems my bloods are pretty

half life T3 in NDT
I've read over a period of time that T3 has half-life of anywhere from 2-2.5 days. I have, always, assumed (bad thing!) that was for synthetic T3. Anyone know, if that time-frame is applicable to dessicated T3? My FT3 shot up from 2.7 in late Feb. to 3.85 2 weeks ago. I had increased dose from97.5

Giving levo another go...
Hi thyroid community, I have been diagnosed with 'sub clinical' hypothyroidism (due to autoimmune condition) in the last few years and my life has been shit ever since as I'm sure many can relate. I didn't get on very well with levothyroxine during my first trial, but I decided to persist giving it

Why does Levothyroxine cause weight gain if it treats hypothyroidism, weight gain being a hypo symptom?
Shouldn't it help rectify hypo symptoms not make them worse? This baffles me! I wish I could revert back to Levothyroxine and use it together with T3 as NDT is extortionately priced, and not working brilliantly for me anymore, however, weight gain is my biggest fear, and I read so much about this on
