NDT or porcine thyroid
Hello I have had Hashies for about 2 years now. I am completely gluten free. My TSH levels hover around 4.8 so doctor won’t give me Levo. My antibodies are well out of range My CRP is just over 5. My ferritin is also way out of range. I've had constipation, bloating and gas for many years. Muscle and

First results after switching to NDT. Help pls ...
Hi beautiful people, I shared a number of posts here about my thyroid journey. I switched to Erfa brand NDT 2 weeks ago after being on levo for 2 decades. I started from 0.5 grain, increased to 1 grain and then to 1,5 grains. I've been on 1,5 grains for about 5 days now. I checked my bloods 2 weeks

Lack of NDT?
Hi there, a couple of ladies I know who are prescribed NDT are being told that there's none available. Does anyone know if this is a nationwide problem and if it is, why this is happening? Thank you, Julie

Osteoporosis risk with suppressed TSH
Many of the endocrinologist I've encountered seem to be vexed with borderline sociopathy, lurking beneath grimacing, slightly tolerant demeanors. However, the last one seemed to be merely friendly and inept. Recent communication from current specialist: "Having a low TSH can increase your risk for heart

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

Am I a poor converter?
I've just had my latest blood test results after starting 50mg Levothyroxine 6 weeks ago:TSH 1.65 (0.27-4.2) FT4 15.9 (12-22) 39% through range FT3 3.4 (3.1-6.8) 8% through range FT4:FT3 ratio is therefore 4.7. Just before starting Levothyroxine, my results were: TSH 5.88 FT4 12 FT3 3.44 FT4:FT3

Converting NDT and T3 to combo
I am currently on 20 mcg T3 and 150 mcg Thyroid—S daily. I have always bought my own medication as I didn't think I would manage to get T3 on NHS. I have just received a message to say they will give it to me so I'm over the moon. They also want me to ditch the Thyroid-S and replace with 100mcg Levo.

High TSH on high NDT dose
Hey, I'm feeling so confused. Any advice appreciated! I have used Thyrogold (NDT) to successfully treat my underactive thyroid (Hypothyroid with Hashimotos) for the last few years. Occasionally my dose needs altering slightly but generally it has remained stable on this medication. I am currently taking

Frustrated at endo's obsession with TSH when other results point in the opposite direction
I hope this isn't going to take too long to explain. And this is really a frustrated rant about the obsession with TSH. I went to see a private endo, as my hypo symptoms had not resolved on a daily dose of 150mcg T4 and a split dose of 40mcg T3, given to me by an NHS endo who was prepared to accept

Is this a "normal" reaction to NDT?
Hi All, I'm trying to take NDT instead of levo, on which I was for around 20 years before, mostly on 75 mcg. My TSH went out of balance back in October 2022 and between then and now it's been a massive struggle. I increase my T4 slightly (even by 12,5 mcg) and get heart palpitations (heart was checked

I was told by endo I could get t3 if I did 6 weeks on levo to show I don't convert properly. I did this on 175 levo but my t4 was rising out of range and t3 not in the highest range. I've been on ndt and t3 but always self sorced. But I was hoping to get t3 on percripton. The gp has said I now have to

New member, looking for alternatives to Thyroid-S
Dear all, I am new to this forum but not to thyroid disease. I was diagnosed with autoimmune hypothyroidism in 1999, at age 29, and put on levothyroxine. I struggled on it for years, tried different brands, but never felt optimal. I needed 200 micrograms a day just to feel human, while doctors kept

NDT for management of hypothyroidism in children?
I would like first of all to thank all who will read my post. I found this forum very useful a few years ago when I started searching more information about management of hypothyroidism.
