Help with latest blood test results and NDT dose please
Hello, long story short... I've had hypothyroidism for around 14 years now, I've had a mixture during those years of either levothyroxine - GP never prescribed the right dose and I had reactions to it, so started buying NDT and did well, until covid hit and I found it difficult to get it. My latest

Armour NDT, possible problems
I’m currently taking Armour NDT 1 grain in the morning and 3/4s in the afternoon. My bloods are really good and my symptoms have definitely improved. However, I’ve been having some problems such as feeling nauseous off and on through the day and also the odd day where my bowels are really loose and

What's normal with private consultations and NHS records?
My question is:- If one sees a consultant doctor privately, who then prescribes medication and informs the patient's GP of what he has prescribed, is it usual for that information to be added to the patient's medical record? I have been consulting a private endocrinologist who has been helping me to

Test Results
Hi Everyone I would be grateful for any comments about my recent test results. I’m confused. Briefly I have been hypothyroid for 17 years, I was on Levo but for the last 10 years I have been taking NDT which has been great. I’ve received a text saying I must see the doctor, they say I’m over

Natural Desiccated thyroid
I wondered if anyone in the UK has tried natural desiccated thyroid and if so what brand they used. I'm only on 25mcg but have really struggled with terrible side effects. I'm now wheat and dairy free but still not right. Any information would be much appreciated.

Seeking advice on test results, Metavive and suggested next steps
Hi everyone, I’m interested in your observations, suggestions and ideas about the following. I know I’m not alone in experiencing that horrible, sinking moment where, following yet another GP appointment, it becomes increasingly apparent that you’re going to have to become a low-level thyroid expert

where to go next?
Hi all. I am looking for advice/suggestions on which way to go next. Obviously GP's are not interested. I have multiple signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism, with a strong family history on one side of my family, and it's probable on the other too-we're not the best at communicating. I test low FT4 via

need some words of encouragement please
Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I last made a post. I started armour last September after being on a high dose of thyrogold for years and I’m still trying to find my dose on armour. I have gradually worked up to 3 grains which has been a rocky and rather arduous task (low iron and low cortisol

Contraindication question
I am taking NDT ERFA 1.5 grains a day. I plan to take Hawthorne tincture to reduce my high blood pressure along with Elderflower tincture for calming. Does anyone know of contraindications with the NDT?

strange cramping
I recently- well- a few weeks back - ran out of my NDT and not had the funds to replace. I use the Thai ones. I don’t know if a coincidence but I’ve started getting cramps or pains in different places like under my ribs, behind my shoulder blades or perhaps when I turn my neck. In feet too (but these

I'm so swollen
I haven't been here for a while. Since I haven't found a good ndt I've been on levo(tirosint 112 mcg) and t3(slow release form) for a while now. My problem is that i can't lose weight especially from my belly, when I look in the mirror it's like I'm in the 9th month. I pay attention to what I eat, I

Difference in T3
Both Thybon Henning and Cynomel are made by Sanofi but one is 20 mcg and the other 25 mcg does anyone know the difference in ingredients. Most people on the site appear to prefer the Thybon one. I am prescribed T3 Cynomel and it doesn't agree with me. After being on NDT for years the fast acting

Results ( confused )
Does anyone know what it means when your temperature wobbles more than 0.5c, but cortisol is actually not LOW, but high? I was not on any kind of supplements at the time of this test. But I did wake up once during the night before waking again in the morning. I was also a bit stressed at the time I did

Moving from Levo/T3 to NDT experiences
I am wondering, after all these years, whether Levo and Liothyronine isn't the answer for me. I have read in many posts that many have moved over to NDT and doing much better. I am looking for comments please from ANYONE that made the move to NDT and your experience in doing so, whether it be positive

Are you adding t3 to NDT? Why and does it work for you?
Hi All, I have come across a blog from Dr Childs, he seems to be using t3 with NDT with most of his patients. Armour doesn't work for me on its own, I have been adding T4 to it, but so far haven't felt better, it feels worse to an extent, when I add it. I would love to hear from people, who are adding

DHEA supplements: high level, fast heartbeat and want to come off it asap any advice?
Hi there, I posted about 18 months ago my saga with my endo who refused to recognise that major stress trigger messed up my thyroid levels and of course the TSH issue. Then I increased my ERFA from 75mg to 90mg and in April 2022, I started taking 13mg DHEA every day - this combination definitely helped
