Is it dangerous if FT3 goes over range? On ERFA NDT only.
My last consultation with private Endo in November was we agreed I stay on 2 grains daily, split 7.00am 2.00pm. Although nearing top of FT3 range he felt there was still a bit of room if it continued to rise and also wanted to see if my main symptoms, constipation and poor quality sleep improved. In

Groundhog Year
Another year passes and the annual blood test causes its usual issues. I did get retested because of an abnormal result serum calcium concentration 2.19 mmol/L (2.20-2.60) They did the test uncuffed and I crept into range. TSH <0.01miu/L (0.49 - 5.23) like this since starting Liothyronine in

Can someone please remind me of how far through ranges is usually best?
I’ve just used the thyroid calculator for my latest results, see attached, any thoughts welcome. My TSH is 0.01 but it’s surpressed because I take NDT. Current dose 100mcg thyroxine, 1/2 grain ERFA twice daily. Many thanks (Bloods taken inline with protocol suggested on this site)

What on Earth's going on?
How can an increased dose of NDT result in an increased TSH! Like most on here I wouldn’t normally worry too much about TSH but I’m consulting a private endo and he clearly does think it’s relevant so I need to respect that. Also, I’m decidedly not as well as I was before the dose increase/decrease in

combination of NDT and t4?
Just reaching out to see if anyone else is on a NDT with an added t4. Unable to increase NDT due to t3 going over range. I ended up adding in t4 50mcg to 1 grain armour. I then switched to 125mcg (gradually increased to this over the past 7 months) plus a 5mcg of t3 compounded. well I feel dreadful

Does anyone actually have an NHS 'named patient basis' for NDT?
Hi all, I hope everyone is well . I am doing a lot better nowadays, having been on Armour for about 9 months now. My memory is much better, I have more energy (and a full-time job in health research :) ), my muscles no longer ache, and I don't have random dizzy/fainting spells. My stomach bloating is

Does anyone take NDT at night?
Hi I’m thinking about swapping my meds to nighttime. I currently take a combination of ERFA and thyroxine first thing, and then another 1/2 grain of ERFA at lunch. But my calcium is very low and I need to take multiple doses at the moment which is tricky with thyroid meds. So I’ve been thinking

Natural Desiccated Thyroid
Hiya I just wanted to let NDT users know that I heard yesterday that NDT will no longer be available to the UK without a prescription. Its bad news for users of NDT and will make NDT more expensive. Apparently the company we usually order from say its a new policy. But I am wondering if its due to MHRA

High blood pressure from NDT increase
hi all, hoping for some insight. I have increased from 1.5 to 2 grains. I’ve noticed no changes aside from improved mood and a strange tightness in my hands and feet, it’s like swelling. My initial thoughts were high blood pressure but my blood pressure is measuring normal. Latest thyroid bloods

moving from twice daily to once daily dosing on NDT
hi - A quick question! I’m settling into NDT at the moment and am on 2 grains. As I transitioned from T4/T3 combo, I kept the dosing pattern the same and currently take NDT in the morning and the early afternoon. I would like to experiment with taking my NDT in one go to keep life simple. Do you

Alternative to NP Thyroid
Hello Everyone,Many thanks for all your help and advice. I'm based in Ireland and have been taking NP Thyroid for the last year. Unfortunately however, the price was always very expensive has recently more than doubled to around €150 or more per month for the dosage I am on depending on which pharmacy

Relationship between B12 deficiency and certain ADHD symptoms
I have felt for some time that, among other things, B12 deficiency exacerbates some ADHD symptoms. Therefore I was interested to see the relationships described in this article: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.2147/NDT.S212361

Advice on blood test result
Hi, After receiving a result of the CC gene (rs225014) on a Dio2 test and getting nowhere via my GP and a paper referral to an endocrinologist I decided to use ndt (thyroid s) on 16/12/22. Started on half grain for ten days, then one grain for 28 days and then one and a half grains. My blood test

London endocrinologists (private or not) who prescribe T3
I've been taking NDT for a few years but recently my symptoms are returning, and other forums seem to suggest that NDT like Armour and Thyroid S are losing their effectiveness. So I'm thinking of going privately to see if I can get T3 prescribed alongside levothyroxine. Is there a list of endocrinologists
