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

Advice about recent NDT thyroid blood tests and high SHBG
Hi there! Is there any connection between high SHBG and taking NDT thyroid medication? I've been feeling better than ever on my Erfa thyroid medication and I don't feel over medicated at all, but I had high SHBG. My estradiol also seems high. I've read that one reason for high SHBG can be hyperthyroidism

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

USA changes status of NDT products. Their 'Grandfathered' status is to be removed.
All NDT products status will be changed from natural to biological and as such will have to go through the same rigorous process as is expected of other biologic drugs. They must comply with this and be approved by 2029 to continue. In addition the FDA has given permission to individual state to ban

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

Eltroxin - Has ingredients changed since Autumn 🍂 2021 in UK 🇬🇧
Hello 👋 Everyone , I have posted here before ☺️ I was just checking has Eltroxin ( Mercury Pharma ) changed its formulation since around Autumn 2021 ? You will see from previous posts that I’ve recently come off NDT Armour ( 1/2 Grain ) as I was struggling with costs so I’ve been prescribed Eltroxin

Can I eat 6 hours before thyroid test if I don't care about T4?
Hi there! I have an NDT thyroid blood test tomorrow morning at 9:00 am. I have read as many posts as I can to understand how to have the most accurate results possible, but because I am currently on antibiotics, I don't think I'll be able to follow all the excellent recommendations. I usually go to bed

Stopped taking NDT thyroid
Hello, could you share your experiences if you tried stopping thyroid hormone replacement? I was on NDT for years, developed hyperthyroid symptoms +very low TSH (normal ft3 and ft4), had heart arrythmia and high blood pressure, lost a lot of hair. Taking NDT didn't help with my weight problems or other

Is it possible to obtain NDT without precription?
I got T3 for 20 years from a source abroad but that avenue is closed now. I'm trying to find and change to desiccated thyroid. Does anybody know where I could find it?
