My ERFA delayed in post, not sure what to do.
Hi I am currently taking one grain of ERFA split dose, and 100 mcg of thyroxine daily. I used my last ERFA today, and my new tablets seem to have been delayed in the post and haven’t arrived.. I’m not sure what to do tomorrow and until they arrive. Should I increase my thyroxine dose? I have

suppressed tsh
I’ve recently changed doctors. Been feeling dreadful on Erfa and gained 2 stone in 8 months. My previous endo would not increase dose despite low t3 and t4 as my tsh was optimal My new doctor says I need the increase and has said my thyroid probably doesn’t work anyway after 17 years and I need

I usually have
erfa
though my last lot was

Which ndt is the best in combination with levothyroxine?
I tried to add 1/2 grain of
erfa
and
thyroid
-s but I feel under dosed(mentally I feel good but physically I feel weakened in this formula), although my last values look good. What do you think, is it worth to try with Armour or NP thyroid ? It's very expensive...

racing pulse
hi
thyroid
community. Quick question…I’ve noticed since I’ve been taking
Erfa
that my pulse races quite often sometimes over 100. Especially when I’m climbing up hill or going up stairs for example.

Erfa swap update
my ferritin has just come back as 28 (5-204) I think this is my iron store so it’s clearly deficient. I’ve struggled with anaemia since I was about 18 (maybe before but no cause before then for a blood test it was discovered when I became a donor) No one has ever given me a reason for this! And I

Tests required after more troubles with thyroxine
Hello, I’m after a bit of advice re blood tests. Long story short, in 2019 it appeared that thyroxine was actually making me gain weight (a stone and a half in a short space of time) while diet and exercise remained the same. I had battled with thyroxine for around 20 years at this point do I decided

ERFA Thyroid availability
For the first time in over three years I came away from my regular pharmacy without any ERFA the chemist having none in stock. I am getting low on medication and will run out next week! Is there a source of ERFA online that I do not need my prescription for as it was left with the pharmacy?

Changing to ERFA
Hi guys. I’ve been taking armour for a few years, but I find I’ve been getting chest pains, and struggling with various symptoms. Does anyone here take ERFA? That option is open to me, but I wanted to get some information first before making a switch. I’m even considering synthetic T3/T4 combo. Any

Private consultants who prescribe Erfa
Hi there! I have been feeling great on Erfa since February this year -- much better than I felt on a combination of Levothyroxine and Cytomel during the previous 25 years. Now my consultant no longer accepts Inuvi which was the only company that provided a nurse to come to my home to draw my blood. I'm

Bit confused, latest test results now on Erfa. Could I have an unstable thyroid??
Hi helpful
thyroid
community. I’ve been on
Erfa
now for 3.5 months I did another blood test Monday and just have results thru. I’m now taking 60mg very early morning and 30mg lunch time (so timing not ideal if this to keep away from eating!)
