Urgent! T3, T4 or NDT source needed
Please could someone advise me on how to find a reliable source of either Thyroxine, T3, or a good quality NDT like S thyroid - for example, without prescription. I would need something inexpensive, I know - that's probably a big ask! Thank you.

What's the ratio of T3:T4 in NDT?
I know I've seen this talked about, but can't find it in the search so I must be searching for the wrong term. Does anyone know what it is?

Advice on Recent Labs
Hoping to get some advice on my recent labs. I've been feeling a lot of hypo symptoms return and was sure my TSH would have increased and I'd be due for a dose increase. Here are today's results: TSH: 1.97 (.40 - 4.50) T4 Free: 1.0 (.8 - 1.8) T3: 76 (76 - 181) I started taking NDT (NP Thyroid) in October

Metavive headaches - Hashimotos
Hi Folks, I'm hoping you can hepl me with some advice. I was diagnosed with hashimotos in 2015, and since have taken levo. It's been pretty poorly managed - as I've continued to have symptoms - mostly in winter, but for periods throughout the year too. I know I've got poor T3 conversion, . Here's

Help with bloods please
Hello Everyone, I would be grateful if anyone could interpret my results please. I had an advanced thyroid function blood test. I am taking 150mcg levothyroxine (Almus) brand. However, I have not tolerated well and wasn’t taking the full amount when I had my bloods drawn. I’m feeling at my wits end!

Recent Appointment with the Endocrinologist
Hi Everyone I just thought I would update you on my appointment with the Endocrinologist. What a total and utter waste of time, it was a good job I didn’t go in with any heightened sense of optimism (thanks to this forum and the experiences of many thyroid patients) This is the outline of the consultation

Hand weakness /can’t squeeze
Hello everyone! I’m wondering if anyone has experienced hand weakness and whether this has been linked to thyroid issues or medication? About a year ago, I noticed my hands gripping strength becoming weaker but didn’t think much about it. Recently, this has become more problematic. I’m having to use

Biohackers making open source insulin to reduce cost
This may have been posted already so sorry if I missed it and I’m duplicating. Slightly off topic in that this applies to insulin and diabetes but the principle is very interesting and I’m sure could be applied to T3/NDT. The article explains in a bit more detail but the brief version in that biohackers

I'm looking for a good source to order Thyroid-s from Thailand, does anyone know of one?
I have been taking Thyroid-S for years, and now my regular supplier has disappeared. If anyone knows a good source for Thyroid-S or another source for a good brand of NDT please let me know. I will be very grateful for this.

Confused and clueless after a five-week T4/T3 combo trial. Symptoms worse and test results too. Please give sorely needed advice.
For years I’ve been on Levo only and getting worse. My best lab results were in Nov. I was on 88 Levo four times a week and 75 for the rest. Posting all further down. Since then, I was on 88 T4 alternating with 94 T4 three times a week. FT3 & FT4, always too low but felt bad when I tried to up the Levo

Does NDT have a diuretic effect that levothyroxine doesn´t?
I have read several posts by people who switched from levo to NDT and lost quite a lot of water weight in the first few days/weeks...someone compared it to taking a diuretic drug. I have read in the past that some of the weight gain in hypothyroidism is water weight and not fat, and that fluid retention

Should I decrease NDT and raise Levothyroxine?
I have been taking 1 grain of Armour and 50mcg Wockhardt levothyroxine for 5 months now.I have been gluten free for 8 weeks. Apologies as I don’t have my test results, but the GP said that I have a suppressed TSH of 0.1, T3 high in the range, and T4 low in the range. I take Vit D and iron daily. I have

? If going back on HRT will help me?
After a Hysterectomy for fibroids & endometriosis 30 years ago (aged 40 years) I started on HRT because of menopausal symptoms kicking in after a couple of months. I felt good on it. After about 5 years I was said to have Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (potential for abnormal breast cells) after having

Any thyroxine without preservatives
Morning everyone. I know we are advised to try different thyroxine medications to see what suits if we have problems. Does anyone know which product/manufacturer uses the least preservatives, b numbers etc and which brand would be the best alternative to NDT. Many thanks xx

Does anyone worry that they’ll never get their medication “optimal”?
Hi - Just asking really. Wondering how long it took other people to find the right balance on T4/T3 combination therapy… 7 months and not there yet, despite taking more meds than ever… I did a test this morning, so I guess we will see what this looks like in frees, but randomly 100 mcg T4 + 10 mcg

Help Needed with NDT Dose Should I reduce or Increase Still feeling Rubbish
Hi I have now been on NDT since June 2020. Started on half a grain working upto 1.5 grains until March 2021. I was starting to feel a bit better and noticed a positive difference up until my Endo introduced HRT due to numerous ongoing symptoms. In fairness I now feel lots better with lots of the menopause
