How Off Would Blood Levels Be If Tested Without Fasting Beforehand?
Hiya. I would appreciate thoughts on this. This morning I had to go for an Inflammatory Marker Blood test for something which isn't related to thyroid issues. Unknown to me, my GP had requested a thyroid blood test anyway so I wasn't prepared by fasting from my meds the day before, and I took a multivitamin

4th short term Ginkgo trial - Confirmation...
...that Ginkgo works for me, in the moderate way that it has been. On the day before respite required, 3 tablets are taken. The following day, T is there in the morning. But it will subside around 2 hours after waking and for this latest test gave me 5 hours when I could forget I have T. T returns late

Question about using synthroid and ndt
I was on synthroid for about 6 years I am at 100 mg I am having symptoms again. I asked my doctor about ndt and he gave me a prescription. I have lowered my dose of synthroid slowly to 50 mg and plan on adding in the ndt but I don't know what dose to start at. Any ideas from people that have had success

Recommendations for NDT without prescription
Hello everyone, In looking to buy NDT without prescription. I used to be on erfa before I moved back to UK and since I've been here, I have been on levo and it's not working well for me. I'd very much appreciate recommendations via PM. Thank you so much.

how to obtain NDT in UK
I currently live in the USA but will be moving to the UK. I have successfully managed my hypothyroidism, with NDT, for many years. Formerly, I did not do well on levothyroxine. Since I will not be able to get prescriptions filled from the US anymore, I am making preliminary enquiries about how I

amiodarone effect on NDT
Hi Everyone.I've just had a heart op and have been put on amiodarone for three weeks. I know this drug is known to damage a healthy thyroid. I'm just wondering what effect it has on someone optimally treated for hypothyroidism with NDT. My worry is will it lower the conversion of Thyroid hormones..

Anyone else tried NDT due to levo side effects?
Hi All I've struggled with different brands of levothyroxine as they give me terrible side effects (Teva is the worst). Wockhardt seems to be the only one I can tolerate, however I have not been feeling myself for a couple of months, and wondering if I now can't tolerate this one either. I feel weird

genetic tests for conversion issues etc
hi lovely forum users I’ve finally got an endo appointment via my doctor no date yet. I doubt they’ll smile on my taking ERFA but I’ve no intention of going back to Levo only as it worked less and less for me over the years. I’ve wondered if I have a T4 to T3 conversion issue and have found a blue horizon

Erfa to Liothyronine Thybon Henning Dose Conversion
Hello, I used to take ERFA and levothyroxine but as my T3 was slightly high, my new Dr has put me on Thybon Henning so it will be a bit easier to manage T3 and T4 dosing (it's difficult to cut down on NDT as if I lower it I'm also lowering my total T4 dose, and I run low in T4). I have a feeling he

3rd short term Ginkgo trial - a pattern emerges
This one was to see if the time between one day of taking Ginkgo for an effect the following day can be reduced from 7 days down to 3 days. I can report success. A recap: It is clear Ginkgo in its present preparation is not a cure for T. So, it would be a waste of time proving that taking 3 tablets

SIDE EFFECTS FROM HYPO MEDS
Anyone else out there who’s resistant to all the hypothyroid meds they’ve tried? Over the last year I’ve tried Synthroid, Synthroid with Cytomel, Erfa, Erfa with Synthroid, and compounded NDT - which is pretty much all we have available to us in Canada. They all increase my hypo symptoms and give

Hypothyroidism & ADHD /meds
Hello, community! I’ve suffered from hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) since childhood, and after many years of poor response to Levothyroxine, successfully moved onto treatment with Natural Desiccated Thyroid almost ten years ago now. Switching to NDT was life-changing, and has really improved

Recommendations for an endocrinologist who will prescribe NDT
I would be very grateful for any recommendations by private message for endocrinologists who will prescribe NDT, as there are only a couple on the Thyroid UK list. I live in S W London, but location wouldn’t matter if they do online consultations. Many thanks.

Extreme fatigue. Any solution?
This is wiping me out. Honestly. It tends to start at about 5 pm and lasts for about 2/3 hours. I used to take Whey protein to counter it but this appears to not hit the spot. I’m utterly exhausted when this phenomenon strikes and am wondering if anyone has any ideas? I take B1 daily (Superior Source
