Is this too much Armour, too soon?
A month ago I had a consultation with a thyroidUK recommended doctor. She was fantastic and seemed to understand ALL the things I told her of my 4 year 'journey' with low thyroid hormones. She advised I start on 2 grains of armour (no titrating) and another consult and bloodwork is arranged for early

test results on 2 and 3/4 Thyrogold
This is my latest blood test which is good and bad. Happy that my vitamin levels apart from D are good (no supplements for 6 weeks prior) but my levels for T3 and TSH are bad the worst I’ve had since taking NDT. Yes it was done in the afternoon (15.40) but I was of the opinion that it needs to be 8-12

Any thoughts please on why erfa is the only thyroid medication than helps in my case, all others cause relentless migraines
Initially I started levothyroxin that was horrendous at the time with awful adrenal causing a whole load of unpleasant symptoms, t3 thybon brand I have also tried without success. I started on NDT around 15 years ago but had to build up slowly over a few years as it caused wired & tired symptoms causing

How does it go starting ndt?
Hi, thank you for taking the time to read this I'm getting married in three weeks. I'm currently on Levo but have always had fatigue taking it. I have got a prescription of NDT which I haven't started yet. I'm worried that starting ndt now will leave me worse off for the wedding. But I'm feeling completely

Source of NDT or T3?
Looking for some advice. I’ve been having hypothyroid symptoms for years, with FT3 at the very bottom end and often below range the few times I got the doctor to test it. Morning oral temp at 35.8-36.0C Only a couple of times did it approach 50% of range and that was using desiccated thyroid supplements

Feeling desperate
I'm feeling very low at the moment, and quite isolated. I'm hoping to get some advice here. I'm a 45 year old male, and have had Hashimoto's since my early 20s. After a terrible few years on thyroxin I found NDT and on the whole have been relatively well on it. However, since around 2019 I've had bouts

3 months post-partum - advice on these results?
I was diagnosed with hypo right before I found out I was pregnant last August. Levo was awful for me, so I switched to NDT and have done well on it. Throughout pregnancy, my TSH was optimal and T3 was good too but T4 was difficult to get optimal. I'm on 180mcg of NDT, split 90/90 morning and night

Latest test results
My latest Thyroid results were: TSH 0.05, up from 0.0006; T3 3.2, down from 5.1; T4 8.1, down from 12.1 Not surprising, when you take into account that I was on 3.5 grains of NDT and this was replaced with just 100mcg Levothyroxine and 20mcg Liothyroxine. My dossages have been increased to 150mcg Levo

thyroxine dosage
Can anyone tell me if 12 and a half of levo could be enough. If I try to go higher I seem to be worse. Have struggles for many years trying to increase dose. Am no better on NDT or T3 only.
