Thyroid Madness continued
Well, I won't be multi-dosing again unless it synthetic T3 and T4. I'm at the YMCA and I'm very unhappy with the shape of my body. I gained weight around my middle. I don't think my legs look this bad. Maybe I'm in denial. However,, I would like to add T3 to my NDT if I could. I don't believe I'm going

Hypothyroidism and levothyroxine treatment only inadequate?
I had a bad experience on levothyroxine only. I am now on T3 but not optimal yet although much better than I was on the levo.I had to go to hospital appointment regarding my dupuytrens contracture, and the doctor, who was going through my medications list, asked why I wasn't on levothyroxine. I told

Hashimoto
Being diagnosed as a six year old with Hashimoto, which had already destroyed my thyroid I was always wondering what other treatment options are out there. Over the last some years I found out a lot about related illness that I have like high cholesterol, teeth problems, on and off iron deficiency etc

Anyone else feel the same?
Each time I have to go through the process of buying NDT I go through a series of emotions.1. Angry that in this day and age I have to buy meds from Thailand 2. That the NHS won't let us have the meds we need 3. The cost if these meds, how will I afford once I've retired 4. The fact the cost is highly

Afib + T3 meds
Hi a couple of mos. back, there was discussion (&link from one of the administrators) re T3 meds & afib. I've had autionary words, but not push back from my endo re my ndt dosage & would like to send along the info. After putting afib in search bar, it did not reveal what I was looking for. Thank

Need your advice, pls, what should I take and how?
Hey all, I've been on a bit of a journey, unwell for the past few years, diagnosed 2012, did awesome on thyroid meds until...I didn't. Since I have now all cofactors optimal (vit D, B12, folate, iron, ferritin - after iron IV, magnesium), I feel my problem either stems from cortisol issues or balance

Considering NDT
Hello everyone, It’s been a while since I have posted! I wish I could say it’s because I have been doing really well on my thyroid journey. I have been very unwell, picking up infections and having allergic reactions to antibiotics that left me with swelling around my eye and now a really ‘nice’ scar

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
Hi, this is my first starter post although I have replied to a few questions from others. After being run over by a car 40 years ago and suffering multiple skeletal fractures I have undergone 14 operations so far. Around 2019 I was further diagnosed with Fybromyagia. Multiple medicines later and serious

Some hope!
LONG POST! One of the things to bear in mind with Tinnitus posts, threads and forums, as many have mentioned, is that they turn into an echo chamber of devastation. People searching for answers in desperation on what to some can be the worst time of their life. We search and search for answers to help

Vit B/Folate Advice Needed Please
Ever since having my jabs in October I felt very ill initially and then I have carried on feeling unwell and so recently I did an advanced thyroid test with Medichecks and realised my thyroid was out of kilter so I've upped my NDT by 1/8 grain (knowing I had some wiggle room). My vitamins all took

Why does Levothyroxine cause weight gain if it treats hypothyroidism, weight gain being a hypo symptom?
Shouldn't it help rectify hypo symptoms not make them worse? This baffles me! I wish I could revert back to Levothyroxine and use it together with T3 as NDT is extortionately priced, and not working brilliantly for me anymore, however, weight gain is my biggest fear, and I read so much about this on

NDT Users - Split Dosing
If you use NDT and you dose it twice a day, how much of a gap do you leave between the two doses? And how do you determine how much to take in the first dose and how much in the second? I've tried once a day and it doesn't work for me. I run out of steam. I've tried three times a day, 8 hours apart

Intravenous Iron, oxidative stress and vitamin E and selenium
I have been reading about the possibility that some people may experience oxidative stress with intravenous iron therapy. I thought this article was interesting as it states that vitamin E and selenium are powerful antioxidants that can somewhat mitigate this problem. I would not suggest synthetic

still have stomach issues
hi, I went private regarding my thyroid nearly a year ago now. Before going to this private thyroid clinic I was on 50 mg of levothyroxine.
