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

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

Needing advice/suggestions re tweaking NDT
Hello everyone: Hope you’re all doing as well as can be. So, I’m presently taking 90 Erfa + 25 Synthroid, all at once upon waking. I need to make some changes because I’ve lost half the hair on my head, gained 7 lbs and can’t loose the weight, diet has not changed. Been on NDT for the past 2-3 years

please can someone advise?
I’ve posted here a few times of late, been feeling rough and exhausted since switching from Levo to Erfa 5 weeks ago. I’ve emailed the private doctor to get some advice as to whether the dose is correct she put me on. She’s said my question re doseage isn’t easy to answer and also she charges £20 for

Out of Date Erfa NDT
Hello, Can anyone tell me if they have taken out-of-date NDT? I have read that it may just be a little less effective but not harmful. Is this the case?

What else to increase T3? Tried everything ...

NDT dosing confusion, how to make it work?
Hi All, Trying to understand the NDT dosing and if it's working for me. They say 1 grain of Erfa is about 100 McG of levo. However, 1 grain only gives you 38 McG of T4. So if I was on 88 McG of levo before NDT and I now take 1 grain of NDT instead, I only get 38 McG of T4? How does the 1 grain equals

Need advice in adjusting dose
I hope everyone is making progress in finding their sweet spots. I’m here again, needing help once more. I’m only able to stay healthy forever 2-3 weeks at any one time. Can’t seem to maintain good thyroid health for too long. I’m very frustrated and feel like I’m heading towards a dead end street!

New member, looking for alternatives to Thyroid-S
I tried Thiroyd first because it contained less fillers than
Thyroid
-S. It was better than Armour or
Erfa
, but still not optimal. I then reluctantly switched to
Thyroid
-S. I say reluctantly because I had seen the long list of fillers. But it worked wonders for me.

Odd Results?
Long time guys! Peculiar results today. RAI in 2014 and unwell since. Trialing 20mcg T3 and ERFA 30mg TSH 9.04 (0.27-4.2) T4 3.9 (3.1-6.8) T3 10.5 (3.1-6.8) TSH is usually well suppressed so hard to know what to make of these results. Still feel dreadful and think I’ve exhausted these medications

Rawr!
I don't know what else to say, laughing. Insert big fat sigh as well. I have zero understanding why my labs continue to be so off. The endocrinologist is going to accuse me of non-compliance yet again (I will go NOPE, NOPE & NOPE.) I take those little buggers in the middle of the night like a champ.
