How to dose new prescription T3 with current levo. Please can anyone advise?
Hi I'm not converting well and have been prescribed ERFA NDT by an endo, I not yet ordered and on reflection I have now asked for T3 instead (awaiting reply). I asked for T3 as don't know how much NDT I'd need and can't afford higher doses long term. I also have to have it compounded due to multiple

Advice on labs, high RT3, high SBHG, low T
This is my first real post on this forum. I'd appreciate if experienced members could take a look at my labs and history and let me know what they think. I'm a 46-year-old male from Canada but living in France for the past 10 years. I've had deteriorating health issues for close to 5 years (likely longer

New erfa trial with levo - very worried about endo prescription and pharmacy NDT info. Please can anyone help?
Edit - endo says take ERFA 30mg OD - I don't even know what OD means? Assume every day 30mg but pharmacy are saying its double that I think? Hi I recently consulted an endo which was recommended by local thyroid patients so thought would try rather than go it alone as v ill atm. I've been taking 112mcg

Solution if you can't send tablets from UK to EU
It is allowed to buy and receive NDT tablets to UK via air mail. But not for EU, the customs will reject it, however it is still allowed to bring it with you in luggage if you fly (no need to hide it). You can get returning fly ticket for Easyjet or Ryanair from EU city to London Stansted for around

Sertraline - interactions with thyroid meds?
I’m trying to find out why my FT3 levels have risen alarmingly. This morning, I posted asking whether anyone had any experience of Candersartan affecting FT3. I’ve had two meds added during a recent hospital admission. The first was Candersartan and the second was Sertraline. I stopped the Sertraline

Overmedicated on NDT? How would you know? Is it lab results? Is it how you feel? Or something else?
When using NDT to treat low thyroid hormone levels, how would you know if you are overmedicated? I have read so much information, saying different things. Not sure what is correct. Some say look at lab results - stay within the top part of the range, but don't go over. Some say lab results are not

Can levo cause low FT3?
Hi I am hypothyroid with Hashimoto’s, suspect both for decades but never tested/ treated until 2 years ago. I also took private tests at the same time and whilst my TSH and FT4 were both around 8, my FT3 was optimal. I was put on levo by GP and titrated to 100mcg but last autumn got worse, (also privately

NDT Roseway
has anyone switched from levo and lio to NDT? I got diagnosed with Hashimoto’s last March and still feel like shite despite doing all the recommended supplementation and T4/T3 by private endocrinologist. He puts all the remaining fatigue, muscle aches, headaches etc. etc. down to long Covid. But I can

hi all - I had my appointment with a thyroid U.K. recommended doctor. I’ve been worried for a while about availability of thyroid S and the changing strengths between batches amongst other things. Felt more comfortable being under someone that can prescribe NDT or T3 going forwards. Especially as

QQ Asking for a friend - TSH/FreeTs target on NDT the same as Levo or Levo/T3?
Hi a quick question from me today. I have a friend with hashis on NDT. I’ve stepped lightly as I observe her symptoms just aren’t getting any better, but she puts a lot of faith in her doctors… who say her thyroid panel is “normal.” Hasn’t wanted my opinion and experience, until today. Since I’m on

Does anyone know why, in people using NDT, the TSH readings tend to be very low, even when the T4 and T3 are within normal ranges? My GP is concerned that my low TSH readings mean I am at risk of osteoporosis, but since I am not hyperthyroid I don't understand why. My T4 and T3 are within reference

A little advice on latest test results
Hello all, you have all been incredibly kind and helpful in the past.. and I wondered if I could pick your brains again about my latest test results.. I have been following Ray Peat’s ‘non diet’ diet, and I’m wondering if actually it’s not working for me. To me I can see that my estrogen is at the lower

Is it ok to take all of NDT dose once a day instead of twice a day?
Just started on 2 grains of Armour NDT, 3 weeks ago. I have been taking 1 grain first thing and 2cnd grain between 2-3pm as advised by Thyroid specialist. (Prior to this I was on 87.5 Levothyroxine and 10 Liothyronin.)My health has dipped a bit over the last few days plus my body seems to have difficulty

Do you take Adrenal Support?
What do you take please and is it helping? Seeking views because I have done two adrenal saliva tests in Feb 2023 and 2024 and both were low, showing adrenal fatigue stage II. I’ve been on NDT Armour for a year and my FT3 has increased to mid-upper range. The private thyroid Dr didn’t increase

Hi everyone I've recently had my first consult with a recommended Endo on TUK list and also some people in my local thyroid group. Mostly good reviews but one person unhappy with him. He's putting me on NDT as says I'm not converting FT4 to FT3 as I suspected. So sorry its so long, I've tried to ask

Gp just rang...🤔
Hi everyone ❤️ A gp as just rang asking me to see her today at 4.45, I have no doubt this is in relation to the letter I wrote to the practice manager in the awful treatment I have received by the surgery concerning synthetic thyroid medication they have been pushing on me the last 5 years. I think
