NHS delays
I ordered a repeat prescription on line on the 16th December. The GP took a while to agree it, and then came the holidays... Chemist finally delivered it yesterday. I was told I could manage without the HRT for "a few days". I went for a blood test for Cortisol especially early as it has to be done

A new T3 derivative shows promise in treatment with T3 and smaller FT3 spikes after taking it
Ths paper and abstract is downloadable. It demonstrates that the new T3 derivative has a good display of less vigorous FT3 spikes after taking it. This means that combination users and T3-only users have a better and more stable response. However, this compound will be patented and sold as rather high

Question to those who have tried NDT alone and NDT + T3
Has anyone tried both and found NDT alone to work best? I am asking as it´s often said that T3 is the active hormone, and that too much T4 will just build up in the body, be execreted or converted to rT3, so it sounds logical to take some NDT and add T3 to avoid having too much T4 in the body. However

NDT or levothyroxine?
I’ve just read about NDT for the first time and now I am curious. I take 75mg of Levo but have food intolerances I never had before…sleep is often not great and I get headaches at night (probably tiredness headaches) do people tend to tolerate NDT more than levo? I’m not thrilled by the thought of it

Trying to raise levo - advice needed :)
Hi ! I tried to raise my levo from 50 mcg to 75mcg, it took just three days and I felt overmedicated and so difficult to relax. It’s almost like there is a limit that I can handle when it comes to synthetic T4. I had the same reaction when I was combining 45mg Armour with 50mcg synthetic T4. I felt

When did NDT stop being used in the U.K. by doctors ?
Are there people here who are prescribed NDT on the national health and is it always Armour? Why would an Endo be able to prescribe NDT privately but not on the NHS?

Has anyone felt better on just T4 rather than T4/T3?
Hi. I am sorry to keep posting but I am now thinking about stopping T3. A quick summary. I was on T4 only for 20 years after a partial thyroidectomy and was actually pretty ok on it. I then saw an endo about 4 years ago for hyperparathyroidism caused by two parathyroid tumours. He said that he thought

Switching back to NDT
Switching back to NDT I have been taking 125 Levothyroxine. I have decided to take one grain of Armour in the morning as I switch over. I’m wondering if I should add 25mgs of Levo at night… I am waiting my results but two months ago I had very high TSH. I had two operations on my bowel and I’ve been

Ongoing side effects
Hi since my diagnosis back in 2004 I have had many side effects - from Fibromyalgia, Vit D deficiency, weight issues, sleep issues, etc etc. I'm currently on 125mg Levo - but want to try NDT as have never felt fully right using the synthetic versions. I need to find a consultant that is willing to let

If this isn't a goiter what is it?
Hi everyone and Happy New Year. Just looking for a little reassurance or wisdom regarding my throat lump. I was diagnosed with Hashis last year. Have trouble swallowing and the sensation of something pressing into my neck when I try and lie down that makes me gag and cough. I am still very ill and am

Dosing - NDT vs Synthetic
Hi My GP is not very good at this so he will probably say those results look great and leave the dosing to me. I was using Armour 90mg (1.5grain) for 6 months but switched to synthetic as it was hard to get & expensive . My results on 90mg Armour were : TSH 0.09 ( 0.5-4.6) Ft3 5 (3.5-6.5) Ft4 12 (11-

NDT source
Does anyone have a supplier to recommend? I used thiroid for several years and for the last year have been using thyroid s. However, my supplier is not responding to emails and I'm running low. I'm willing to try other brands. Thanks
