Vitamins/supplements for cll?
I found out AFTER I was diagnosed with CLL that low vitamin D is a risk factor for getting CLL. I have had chronically low vitamin D even though I worked outside for half my working life. I was haphazard in supplementing the past 30 years. With recent research, I'm seeing all kinds of supposedly helpful

Trialling magnesium
Been looking for an answer to RLS since my twenties. At one stage I thought the cause might be beer but managed to eliminate that as the prime suspect, thank goodness. Tried ginko biloba tablets, thought we were doing well but eventually lost faith in that. Over the years it was only intermittent and

Switching from NDT to T3 only - what dose?
Hi, I have been on NDT since 2016, and surely had some relief when starting. Before NDT I really had no life. But as I still have a lot of symptoms (the worse being extreme fatigue), I decided to try to taper off to see if I was over medicated. So this spring I tapered from 2,75 grains to 1,25 grains

ndt dosage advice after results please
I have been taking NDT for 8 weeks and had my blood test yesterday. Results are attached. I initially felt much better but in the last couple of weeks I have felt the fatigue creep back in a little so was thinking I may need to increase my dose a little following my blood test. I normally take 2 grains

Does Anyone Feel?
I am wondering if its possible to feel as well on thyroid replacement as I did pre hypothyroid. Just for background looking back 4 years ago I felt really fit and healthy,had plenty of energy, was going to the gym. Then the pandemic hit and my gym closed down and went bust. In June 2020 I finally started

Thyroid, Cortisol And Sodium Question
Hi All, Got my latest results and it's a bit messy. I got off NDT 1,5 grains and switched to 88 mcg of levo, my old levo I was on before. Prior to that, I was on 75/88 mcg, alternating. So I increased and now re-checked my bloods after 8 weeks. Btw, I'm well versed in everything recommended here

Switching from T4-T3 combination to NDT
I’m currently on T4 (150 mcg)+T3 (30mcg) combination (taking 1.5 Novothyral; 1 Novothyral has 100mcg T4 and 20mcg T3, I hope my math is correct), but decided to try Thyroid S NDT. Any suggestions which dose to use? And should I split it during the day, the way I do with the combination therapy? What

Switching to NDT or adding T3?

18 weeks pregnant on NDT with low T4
I was diagnosed with Hashi while going through my first round of IVF in May. Endo put me on a very low dose of Levo (50mcg) and when my TSH was low enough, he told me to stop. IVF cycle failed and when I retested my TSH a few weeks later, it was 56. Started on Levo again and felt awful. Ended up getting

B12 sublingual
Hi, I suppose this has been addressed before, but....Is there any reason not to take sublingual B12 around the same time as ndt? Usually I space the sublingual B12 a couple hours away from ndt but figured the B12 is bypassing the digestive system & the ndt is not. My TSH, FT4&3 are all good. Since

T4 over range yet again due to side effect of Amiodarone. I have no thyroid, am on 25mcg levo daily now. In a dilemma
Hi all I am aware that most people on this site will have little knowledge about the drug Amiodarone so here is a brief account of what it is used for and it's potential side effects that can alter conversion of thyroid medication such as levo or NDT so pushing levels either up or down. It can also effect

TSH is too low because I increased NDT too quickly to 2 grains- I have now reduced
