NDT Dosage
I'm in the process of switching over to just NDT. I tried Levo/NDT and for the first time ever both my frees were at the top of the range, something I've never managed on Levo. As balancing 2 different meds is a challenge and I felt overmedicated I thought I'd try just NDT and see how I got on. I'm

Frequency of nhs testing?
Update 17/11/22 : Oh gosh perception can be a deceptive thing. I think I owe an apology to my practice. Looking back over my medical record online I came across this graph today. It shows my TSH test results from when I changed to this practice. I appear to have had more than my fair share of tsh tests

Where to get contents of Thyroid meds tested and verified
I bought some some NDT and I want to get the contents/ingredients checked to see how much T3 and T4 is in each, does anyone know of a lab in UK or Europe or in fact anywhere that does it

Weight training & T3 tolerance
Hi all, I am now tolerating NDT much better by using adrenal cortex when I get overt symptoms of intolerance (extreme anxiety, skin crawling, severe agitation). For me, the worst time is 3 hours after my NDT dose (which I believe is the T3 rising in the blood). In the last few days I have noticed

Eating thyroid gland from local farm?
I thought I may try it to see how it goes since NDT doesn't work well for me well unfortunately. What can I lose if I try it for a few weeks right? Is that a thing? I was thinking I would just buy some from local farm that have organic grass feed beef or lamb. I would freeze it and then cut tiny piece

What is latest opinion about different NDT brands?
The only brand that really worked for me was old ERFA years ago, I felt for a few weeks great until I didn't run out and received new ERFA formation back then. Since then I tried different brands and no other brand worked so good despite I got optimal hormone levels. I am not sure if it is possible that

Burnt tongue sensation
Hi guys..I have hashimoto's and I'm on Thyroid S. For quite a while now I've had this burnt tongue sensation and I think it's linked to the NDt but not certain. Some days it's much worse than others . Has anyone else had the same "reaction" ? Perhaps it's not the NDt at all but none of my other

Trialling Levo only after an issue with NDT, severe headache subsided to a point, BUT now feeling brain fog, fatigue and very bloated belly.
On first diagnosis, I was prescribed Levothyroxine and reached 100mg until I became pregnant with twins 13 years ago and had to increase it to 300mg, put on tons of weight, and it wouldn't shift after the birth. Fatigue also plagued me. After no support from the NHS, I decided to try NDT, being Thyroid

Been discharged
Good morning, all. I'm just back again with another update. As of a telephone consultation I had with my NHS endocrinologist this morning, I have been effectively discharged from NHS care regarding everything thyroid-related. She is a new endocrinologist for me, who has taken over from my previous endocrinologist

Getting there slowly ....
I've been under the weather for a while - firstly intolerant to Teva T4, changed brand to one that suited me, then moved to NDT (probably too soon before giving T4 mono-therapy longer to work), found NDT was triggering chronic back spasms (boy was that not fun!), only getting 5 hrs sleep a night, so

Private doctor prescribing T3: south Wales, SW?
I've been privately prescribed T3 and NDT for some years. The prescribing doctor is packing up, so no more scripts from them after early 2023. I will ask NHS Wales to take over prescribing. I want to be on the front foot ā have some names of NHS endocrinologists who'll prescribe T3 as well as T4

Where to buy Erfa AND t3 without a prescription
Hi all, Please could anyone PM me a source of either erfa NDT or T3 without prescription? I do currently receive a prescription but it's so expensive and I don't like being so restricted by the consultant; I'd like to be able to make small changes without permission! Thanks all. š

blood test results
hi everyone. I havenāt been on here for a while, but I got some results back today - sadly with no t3. Iāve been on 2 ndt for the last four weeks after a few years of 125 levo - I had to stop the ndt because I was unable to source it. Does this mean anything to anyone? Tsh 0.17 mlU/L - range 0.27-
