Is it possible to return to 'full' health on Levothyroxine?
Hi folks, I've recently started Levo after being stupidly stubborn for a few years post-Hashi's diagnosis hoping I could make lifestyle changes which would stop symptoms/progression (suprise surprise: it did not). I see a lot of people talking about how they didn't feel really well until they ended

BRAIN FOG?
Let me just state one thing. Everyone speaking of "brain-fog" has a different description when using this word "brain-fog." Mine is this comparable to when you see an eye-doctor and he dilates your eyes: you lean your head back and he drops a few drops into your eye-balls. And, for myself, this is what

A good gandular alongside NDT?
Hi everyone, I haven’t been on for awhile, but like many of us I’m worried about my NDT supply. 😔 I run out of Thyroid-S tomorrow, but still have 45 days left (at full dose) of Thiroyd. I had been lowering my Thyroid-S dose the last few weeks to make it last a little longer, so was going to do the

Hi everyone, I haven't been here for a while!
I've got about a year or so history of blood tests showing my thyroid levels not being quite right; I have been discharged by the endocrinology department and my GP has said she is unable to get me medication as it goes against NHS guidelines. My latest blood tests were: TSH 1.18 (range 0.27 - 4.2) T4

Husband needs advice
Hi. After many years of misdiagnosis he takes NDT bought privately as no one will prescribe it as his blood tests were in range. He is much improved from what he was but is still very fatigued and tearful. He Has gone from sleeping for England to now not sleeping long enough and wakes up still tired.

Do I have a conversion problem?
Please would someone have a look at my medichecks results and see if I have a conversion issue? I’m on 100mcg of levothyroxine and am steadily gaining weight (30lbs in the last 12 months). I’ve worked out that I’m 51% through the T3 range and 86% through T4, but not sure if they should be similar? I

Is the t3 in ndt gentler than liothyronine
Hi Is there a difference in the way t3 behaves between liothyronine and In ndt . I know liothyronine is rapidly absorbed but what happens in ndt, is it a slower gentler absorption or just as rapid as liothyronine. Thank you

Metavive II 80mg and weight gain
I am trying to diagnose why I have gained 4lbs in weight over about the last 7 weeks when my weight is generally stable. The only change that happened was that Metavive II was changed from the 30mg version to an 80mg version, but with no more thyroid hormone in it, and I started this new version. I

Introducing NDT to Levothyroxine
Hi I am looking for some help introducing Armour to Levothyroxine. I did try 3 years ago with Naturethroid but had a bad reaction. Clutter very kindly gave me some advice in the past, but because of my first experience I was afraid to try again. Recently I bought Armour I started to use the advice

Afternoon slump, why?
I have this drowsiness around 4 o'clock-pm on levo&T3 but on ndt I didn't have it. The higher the dose of levo the deeper it is the slump. If I reduce the levo a bit, no-slump but I don't feel ok in the rest of the day. If I increase the dose of T3 (5mcg to 10) in the morning I don't have drowsiness

Sorry me again NDT brand query
Hi all quick question. I started 1 grain NDT back in June. Now need to increase it to 1.5 grains daily. As I am new to this. I purchased Armour brand from an online pharmacy. I have since discovered that Erfa is a similar drug with different fillers just made in Canada as opposed to USA. However,on

WP Thyroid recall
Hi everyone. I mentioned this in another post but it got buried in the main topic, so I thought I'd ask here. I am signed up to various sites regarding thyroid and received an email from Dr Weston Childs that mentioned issues with WP Thyroid and another thyroid brand of NDT. The info stated that WP
