How fast to raise T3 only
I have been taken off T4 for tests for RT3 as doc thinks I have a problem with RT3 blocking the cells due to 'a very high TSH, despite a high T3' on a previous result. I have been struggling along on NDT 1/2 grain plus 6.25 T3 split dose. Most types of NDT and Levo I cannot tolerate. So the thyroid specialist

How to decide whether to try NDT or T4+T3 combination therapy?
Can anyone offer advice on how to know which is likely to provide better outcomes? Or is it literally a case of trial and error? If so, which one is best to try first? My instincts tell me adding T3 to T4 is the most straightforward way to add T3 and that it gives you more control over the ratio, but

Blood Results - Help Needed Prior to Endo Appointment Please
Hi after 20 years on Levothyroxine for Hashis and suffering endless symptoms & constantly being unwell I finally found an Endo who has prescribed Armour NDT. I have been trialling this for 6 weeks now as my blood results have been swinging like a see-saw from Hypo to Hyper then back again. ( I am 53

Recall of NDT products
Tania Smith's latest blog announces the recall of Thryoid and WP-Thyroid because of "subpotency" ie some part of the product below spec. Just a note to alert members to this in case they have difficulty getting the medicine.

Can you take T3 with NDT
Hi everyone, I'm still struggling to get any Thyroid S, and understand there is a shortage around the world due to millions of pigs having to be slaughtered as they have swine flu, that's my first worry. The 2nd is about the question above, I am looking at getting some T3 as I have so many symptoms;

Doctor prescribing NDT
Please could someone message me a Doctor willing to prescribe NDT in Lincs. 18 years post thyroidectomy after NHS prescription for NDT and T3 all this time my prescriptions have been withdrawn. At present I have no prescription at all and no thyroid. I am willing to pay to survive, any suggestions welcome

Worrying article about the reformulation of Nature-Throid and WP
This is from today´s newsletter from Dr. Westin Childs: https://www.restartmed.com/lactose-naturethroid-wp-thyroid/?goal=0_5171b97996-24895ba205-328560565&mc_cid=24895ba205&mc_eid=8f1586fa1f He is basically saying what the STTM has been saying for years now, but having a doctor prescribing NDT confirm

Taking NDT before blood test
I had a blood test at 8am but stupidly took my first dose of NDT at 5am. Does anyone know how much my results would be ‘inflated’ because of taking my morning dose?

Private endocrinologist has suggested I try Armour Thyroid
Purely from a practical and cost perspective, would this be favourable over levothyroxine and liothyronine? I'm based in the UK and I was under the impression that it's very difficult to get NDT here and I don't know how expensive it is. My plan was to get a private prescription for liothyronine and

Moved and now being denied T3
Morning everyone Finally after 4 years post total thyroidectomy I got my levels ‘optimal’ and I managed to get T3 prescribed on the NHS. I know both of those things are quite a feat! Anyway I’ve just moved county, so signed up to a new GP and they’ve been in touch to say that Liothyronine is red listed

Levo + ndt
I was on 125 mcg levo +some T3 (5mcg in the morning) but I'm not feeling well. Any dose higher than 100mcg levo(syntetic) it gives me anxiety, sight problems, etc. Also only on ndt I don't feel good. So, I'm thinking of reducing the dose of levo to 112mcg and the 12,5 replace't with ndt. I wonder how

Who is up for solving this thyroid/perimenopausal puzzle?! I desperately need some help! 🙏🏻
I have Hashimotos which was diagnosed about 5 years ago. I started on Levo and after increasing my dosage, I felt worse. A friend of mine with Hashimotos suggested that I probably was not converting T4 to T3 and could try to take NDT because of the T3 in it. Luckily I found a doctor who prescribed it

New labs after abstaining from all(!) supplements for a month. Previous tests were done after only eight days and therefore meaningless
In my last post about my results, after abstaining from ALL supplements for about eight days, including metavive and adrenavive (whole bovine/porcine gland and whole adrenal gland respectively) I had blood tests and reported the following: Ft3 4.6 pmol/L (3.5 - 6.5) TSH mU/L< 0.03 (0.35 - 5.5) Ft4

Levo and afternoon blood test
Could anybody advise please, I generally do blood test first thing on a morning, then take Levo straight after. Owing to the current situation (Covid) I have done well to even get a blood test through GP, however I can only get a 2pm appointment! My question is, do I still leave off Levo meds until

NDT problem
Hi everyone, hope you are all safe. Having a bit of a panic, went online to order NDT from my usual supplier but it states their UK bank is unavailable just now meaning I can't order/pay. Is anyone else having this problem and if so is their an alternative? Running low and stressing. Thank you.

Test results show overmedicated but I don't feel it in the slightest - help!
Hello, I've been on NDT for just over a year for hypothyroidism (also have hashimotos and a U4 nodule in my thyroid which I still don't know if it's cancerous or benign). Started on Naturethroid, made me feel terrible, then tried NP which made me angry quite a lot and still fatigued but I was able to

Confused re NDT
Hi all, if you take NDT, I'd appreciate knowing this: does the NDT preparation you take list T3 (triiodothyronine) as a component? My internet searches for 'naturally desiccated thyroid' seem to always pull up products that say "does not contain thyroxine T4"... So I'm thinking, if it's indeed just dried

Blurred vision on levo but improved if I add T3.
I've been struggling with hypo symptoms for a while on synthetics (T4+T3), I try to match them but I don't succeed 100% . One of them is blurred vision. If I take only levo, I have disturbed vision(in the morning). If I add 5mcg of T3 (at 7 am with levo) my vision becomes clear a few hours but around
