A little update
Hi all, I just thought I'd give a little update as I've not posted here in about a year and just possibly my experience may be of interest. I am not in ANY way invalidating anyone else's condition or treatment, this is just my story. For years I have struggled with low mood, lacking 'oomph' in life.

An Enlightening Endocrine Adventure
After appeasing an endocrinologist worried about my suppressed TSH by a cunning lab trick -- withholding NDT for three days before going for the blood work -- I realized I needed to titrate up the dose. Many thanks to those who replied with their NDT experience. I cranked it up to nearly double what

Fibrosis?
Hi there. Continuing my journey to recovery, I was today told by my doctor that I need to have a blood test to see if I have any scarring of the liver. My LFT’s are better than they were in June last year. An ultrasound in August 23 noticed a fatty liver. So, can you still get scarring of the liver

PSMA Results
I’m five years Post surgery including removal of prostate & lymph nodes. Gleason 8 with Intraductal. Sepsis, DVT/PE after surgery which left me with chronic fatigue, brain fog and bad overactive bladder with incontinence. Four years post stereotactic radiotherapy to the left iliac area following a PSMA

Hair Loss on NDT
Hi can anyone shed some light on my continuous hair loss. It was one of my symptoms with my hypothyroidism. I started Thyroid-s and it eventually stopped but then started again about two months ago, otherwise I feel great, infact better than I have in years. I take 1. & 3/4 grains AM and 1 & 1/2 in PM

Liothyronine (LT3) prescribing in England: Are cost constraints inhibiting guideline implementation?
Whatever else, this demonstrates beyond any doubt that the cost of the liothyronine Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient is but a minor part of the price charged to the NHS. I'd argue that the simple fact that the NHS agrees these prices strongly suggests something VERY wrong with medicines procurement.

New research. Linking Amiodarone inhibiting levothyroxine just published.
I'm a little staggered this is new!! But it is.... And I've experienced a lot of problems with ndt tolerance level even 7 months since Amiodarone was stopped. Beginning to wonder whether Amiodarones had a permenant effect. In Vivo Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetic Interaction between Levothyroxine

How fast should your PSA drop after the first ADT treatment.
My husband has stage 4. It is in his lungs, ribs, shoulder and spine. Plus a lot of the lymph nodes. No pain except when he broke his ribs just lying on his stomach. That is healing without the palliative radiation. How fast should his PSA drop. How will we know if this is working. I know this treatment

In hospital with neutropenia following 1st cycle of Docetaxel. Considering discontinuing Docetaxel, is that reasonable?
Should I just stay on
ADT
and Enzalutamide?

Advice on raising NDT
Following on from my post on 26/02/24, my symptoms got worse (increased number of anxiety attacks and unable to cope with pain in head/neck and upper back) and the GP didn't have any ideas, so I saw a thyroid specialist recommended by thyroid UK in April. The doctor had my blood tests done and these

Trying to interpret my results
Hi I was wondering if I could ask some advice regarding my latest results. I've just had bloods done so anticipating the usual conversation with my GP about my TSH being too low.... I've screen shot my results since 2015 basically as I've been tracking them as my TSH rarely changes, even with a reduction

Trial of eConsult service
My GP practice has recently launched the eConsult service where it said I could get the results of tests etc, so I tried it. I asked for the results from a recent blood test, and gave the date and time. The one that was supposed to be just vitamins. I had one email back saying the request would be

Hashimoto's remission
Hello, is it possible to put your antibodies (TgAb and TPOAb) into remission (i.e zero) on Levothyroxine only, following a root cause approach to lifestyle? Has anyone achieved this, or is NDT required? TIA
