Charged for importing 1 bottle of NDT
Has this happened to anyone else? I've been charged nearly £50 by Royal Mail for one bottle of Erfa 1 grain! I got the email from R.M this morning This has never happened before (I've only ever purchased Erfa once previously some years ago from the same place, and was not charged) I've not been charged

thyroid s supplier
I’ve been on t3 for 18 months (non converter). Had severe hair loss & itchy eyes. Wasn’t sure why - thot menopause! After everyone talking about TR NDT I was going through nhs files & found 3 months worth (at time my adrenals were smashed so thought non working TR was dodgy stopped taking it). In 6

T4 keeps dipping and Endo says levels are still “good” (but I feel exhausted)
Hi all, I used to be on: -150mg of Levo And - 1.5 grains of ERFA NDT which was very suitable for years. My T4 would usually come out in between 18 to 20 pmol/L (range is 9.0 to 23.0 pmol/L), and my T3 whilst on the upper end of acceptable, would come out in between 4.6 and 6.5 pmol/L (range is

In hospital take ndt
Hi. Just a question regarding hospital stays and taking unprescribed ndt. I am probably going to be in hospital soon and am wondering what the heck to do about my thyroid s. I ended up in A&E with chest pains and was put on a ward where they took my antibiotics off me and put them in a locked cupboard

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

Confusing blood results
I've been on NDT Armour for 14 months, titrating very slowly (1/4grain every 2-3 months). I've got on well with it, having gradual improvements with each increase. I can't get my head around these latest results, my FT4/FT3 is looking similar to where I started in July 2023. Both had increased through

Got 1st blood results since starting Ndt, my T4 is down and T3 up, should I increase NDT or try LDN?
Hi, I've been on NDT 2 grains for almost 3 months now. After 3 weeks on it, I started to feel worse & so I started taking full dose first thing and chew tablets now. I've started to feel a bit better in the past 2 weeks and have had a few days where I don't feel like falling asleep and can do a 10 min

Seeking help on latest test results
Hi, I have just had my third set of blood tests done, following an increase to 100mg levothyroxin 8 weeks ago. My results are interesting. My (private) GP had a suspicion after my first lot of results (8 weeks on 50mg levothyroxin) that I may not be converting T4 to T3 well, and I think these results
