Help with getting a diagnosis
Hi all, I have been struggling for years now with symptoms of hypothyroidism. It’s all really come on over the last couple of years. My weight is out of control, I’m freezing all the time, my hair is dry and brittle, plus many other textbook underactive thyroid symptoms. I’ve been to the doctors

Problems switching from Levo to Erfa
hello good people. I’ve now been transitioning to Erfa from levothyroxine for just over four weeks. I’ve felt really awful - headaches, weakness, nausea, feeling faint and or dizzy, incredibly exhausted. I am taking one and a half grains. Erfa is 30mg. I was taking 75/100mg Levo on alternating days

Advice please - Is this potential dose increase a bad idea?
Just wanted to ask for opinions and wisdom regarding my NDT dose. Never had thyroid treatment before, and just got prescribed 50mg NDT as a trial by my doctor. Being super cautious, I decided to start at 1/4 of that dose (12.5mg) per day, then build up by another 1/4 each week until I hit the prescribed

Rash on neck
Hi all, was wondering if anyone had experienced a rash on their neck where their thyroid is. I have hashimotos and am on regular levothyroxine. But recently my thyroid has been looking inflamed and I have been getting a small red rash just on the thyroid area of my neck. I have 6 monthly check ups with

NDT UK
Can anyone advise where I can get NDT in UK? I was taking Thiroid by Nature Pharma which worked well for me, but they stopped making it a few years back. I got as batch of Thyroid-S (4 x 500) which does not agree with me as well but still way better than Levo. My supplies are running low and I am struggling

Bit confused, latest test results now on Erfa. Could I have an unstable thyroid??
Hi helpful thyroid community. I’ve been on Erfa now for 3.5 months I did another blood test Monday and just have results thru. I’m now taking 60mg very early morning and 30mg lunch time (so timing not ideal if this to keep away from eating!) The October test was just after I upped the doseage from original

Cortisol tests
Hi, I just had my cortisol retested to see if there had been any improvement from February 2023. Since August 2023, I have been slowly titrating NDT Armour and taking vitamins, minerals and amino acids prescribed by a private thyroid Dr. My iron & B12 are good, working on increasing vit D. I'm still

Getting myself in a hell of a muddle!
I have been on levothyroxine for 10+ years and never had a problem (well not since the early years) - I have been getting along nicely on a dose of 75 for the last few years. I was at the GP's a few weeks ago about something not related to my thyroid and happened to mention in the conversation that

Pharmacist moving thyroxine Brand every month
