How to switch to Metavive, from NDT?
I've been on this dessicated thyroid for about four to five months but without much result. I'm on five grains, and was wondering how I could switch to Metavive, because I'm guessing you can't stop 5 grains overnight, or can you? Anyone got any tips? Thanks!

Metavive Vs Thai NDT
Hi. Like many people here, I've been happily take Thai NDT for many years, but now cannot get hold of it & the price when offered is extortionate. I've been looking at Metavive as a possible alternative. I see several people have tried it recently. Can anyone give feedback on their experience & their

SUPPLEMENTING INTO (OR OUT OF) A HEALTHIER LIFE?
Okay, I realize most hypo or hyper thyroid patients take hormone pills, T4 or T3, NDT or combo’s of these. But, I also realize that vitamin supplementation is needed and, in fact some thyroid problems are, ostensibly performed by osteopaths that many claim have helped them considerably & a combination

NDT Suppliers - PMs only please
I'd be grateful if members could point me in the direction of where to reliably purchase NDT without prescription (I am in the UK) . I've had my T3 prescription withdrawn by the NHS a while ago, so converted to NDT and bought some from Thailand, but the website seems to have disappeared, so I'm looking

Conversion rate from NDT to T3
As I now cannot get any NDT (which I feel well on) I am looking at alternatives. I can get T3, so what dose do you think I should take? I am currently on 2.5 NDT (Thyroid S). I really really do not want to go back on Thyroxine as I was never well on that, despite the GP constantly upping the dose.

Where to purchase NDT
I have been taking natural desiccated thyroid for the last 20 years for my under active thyroid. Supplies are drying up and I am anxious to know where I can get some. I have been taking Thyroid S or Thiroyd. I have never taken thyroxine, but am concerned that maybe my only option. I have heard of

Can Levo cause these issues even after stopping?
Hello. It’s possible my thyroid meds have nothing to do with my ongoing illness, but because of the timing, I want to ask. I had been taking just Naturethroid for 7 years. My levels went low, was feeling tired but I couldn’t tolerate higher doses of NDT so my doctor cut the NDT slowly and slowly added

NDT V GLANDULARS.`
My private doctor, because of a significant rise in T3 and RT3, wants to switch from NDT (2 grains) over to glandulars. I have been trying to adhere to a Keto eating way, so that could have moved things around. I am concerned about this, as when Dr P reduced my Levo from 75 to 50 in readiness for going

RESULTS FROM ADDENBROOKES for my daughter
Hi everyone, So i got the call from GOSH today and the Endo said Addenbrookes did find assay interference with my daughter’s T4 and T3 results (read higher than they actually are) but that the TSH was correct. She has therefore suggested treating her based on her TSH and increasing her dose of thyroxine

Metavive dosage
Hi all, Hope you are doing ok. I just wondered if anyone could provide some advice on swapping from T4 and T3 synthetic to metavive. In terms of how I move over and by how much. I have metavive in the post. I am not sure I’m comfortable with dropping the synthetics completely and starting at 1 dose

Help With Results Please, Before Endo Appt
Hi I increased NDT from 1 grain to 1.5 grains on 7th Sept, switched from Armour to ERFA brand on 3rd October. Due at Endo next Monday, just had recent bloods back. Been feeling awful last month. Don't seem to be making much progress since taking NDT from July this year. My recent bloods are :- Folate

Thyroid test results - not sure what to do now
Some years ago I was discharged from an NHS Endo who had been monitoring me because of goitrous nodules. She knew I was taking NDT - either Thiroyd or Thyroid-S. After several followups with her over a few years we reached a position where she was content with the TSH test results not being too suppressed

Low T4, what to do?
In 2017 I started with NDT x 1 (thyroid-s) and later after trying to raise and pooling resulting in RT3 I added some T3 x 1 (unifarma), both taken when I wake, I really felt a lot better up until this summer, I ran out of T3 in July due to supplier issues and at end of August my TSH was 3.186 (range

Zeroing in on optimal dose of Synthroid/Cytomel combination.
I've been tinkering with different thyroid drugs & doses since the NP Thyroid went sideways in March 2020. I think I'm close to my optimal dose and the good news is that the RT3 decreased from 32.5 to 23.8 mg/dL. Current dose: 112 mcg Synthroid & 20 mcg Cytomel. Background is that I had a full thyroidectomy

Doctor reduced my dose of NDT as he said TSH was too low. Is this correct based on my test results? I’m so confused 😒
Lab results when on a dosage of 2 grains was TSH 0.407(0.27-4.2). T3 5.0 (3.1-6.8) Free T4 13.4(12-22). Now my recent results in the picture after reducing dose to 1.5 . Any ideas what I should be doing next to get back on track? Increase back up to 2 grains or will that just lower the TSH even more?
