Just had hysterectomy due to prolapsed bladder and think it's come back due to severe constipation.
Completely fed up. Does this mean I have to have surgery again? I have also ran out of ndt again for about the fifth time due to it being so expensive and my tsh was really high about 6.5 when I had blood test for my pre op. It was also high the previous time as I had ran out then as well. I hate

I wonder if I could get some wisdom on my husband's results. He has been ill for years now which was

Results of TSH Modification Experiment
I inquired last week about what effect I could produce on TSH within three days. I appreciate the expertise and wisdom I received. I had just seen an endocrinologist who wanted to cut back my NDT because my TSH was 0.027. You advised me to stick to my rights as a human being. The endocrinologist seemed

anyone got experience of private Drs or this reaction to dropping meds?
TO UPDATE, I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH AN ENDO FROM THE LIST AND AS MY ENDO ALREADY PRESCRIBES T3 ONLY THERAPY FOR ME (long story) HE MADE IT CLEAR THAT I WAS ALREADY GETTING THE BEST I PROBABLY COULD OUT OF AN NHS GP. SO NO NEED TO PAY PRIVATELY. Depressing to know no more nuanced help from anyone, but

Suppliments that help with chemo?
A friend on their own chemo journey recommended the following - wondering if anyone agrees, or is this the equivalent of snake oil? Thanks for any help you can give. Pao V “FM”® is a dietary supplement composed of Pao pereira extract (Geissospermum vellosii) and "Quassia amara" powder. Ginkgo V® is

Has anyone whose tried T3 and NDT felt better on just T4?
A little bit of history - thyroidectomy aged 21. More or less fine on just T4 for 20 plus years. I then saw an Endo about parathyroid issues in 2018 at which point he suggested ERFA because he felt lots of my symptoms were related to my thyroid and T3 conversion. Since then I’ve tried many different

Facing thyroid surgery?
Have you been told that you're hyperthyroid, and / or been told that you need to have your thyroid removed – but you're not convinced because your symptoms don't seem to match the diagnosis? That's exactly where I was nine years ago – and I want to urge you to follow your instincts ! To put it simply

Reassurance about taking T3 during pregnancy
Hi All I’m just looking for some reassurance if anyone else has continued on T3 during pregnancy. When I tested positive my ft4 was 17.5 (12-22) but my ft3 tanked from 4.4 to 3.1(3.1-6.8) and all my hypo symptoms were terrible. (Previous ft4 was17.1 and ft3 4.4 so I was still probably under medicated

Online prescription for getting NDT in UK?
Has anyone had any success getting Armour or ERFA from a UK pharmacy using one of those online prescriptions via a UK online doc?. I usually buy Armour or ERA online from abroad but prices are getting ridiculous and last time got stuck in customs for a month, I was concerned about customs keeping it

TSH rising inexplicably
Hi, I haven’t posted for years because things had been as stable as they could be for someone with ME, but in the last year my TSH has gone from suppressed on T3 only therapy to high ‘normal’ to just over ‘normal’ to my latest blood of TSH 7.86. Sorry this is a long post I am a complicated case.

Latest results and problems raising dose
TL;DR - should I continue to try increasing my NDT dose slightly (from 1.75 to 2 grains per day, split dosing) based on the test results below, though I am getting some symptoms after increase (mild anxiety, hot flushes and sweats, and palpitations)? Further info/details below the results Inflammation

Transitioning from NDT to T3 (slowly) - anyone done this? Or combines NDT with t3?
Hello there, After many years unsuccessfully on Levo, then NDT, NDT+T4, I'm trying NDT and T3...and it's tricky. My timing might be incorrect, I take now 3 daily doses and I'm feeling overmedicated in the afternoon (tight chest, dizzy, weird energy, hunger, sweaty feet, blurry vision etc.). I take

NDT on NHS
Hi everyone 😊 I just wanted to ask if there was anyone out there who gets their NDT prescribed by the NHS? I am having the argument with my GP at the moment, as I don’t convert, but just wanted to know if anyone out there had managed to get it from their NHS doctor. Thanks
