Can you swing from Hypo to Hyper and when you do, can continuing with Thyroid meds actually make your symptoms worse?
Hi All Any ideas gratefully received on why my main symptom of muscle aches, especially of the vastus medialis, (I am a keen cyclist) have become worse, despite my thyroid numbers improving on the usual thyroid meds? I was diagnosed Hypo in May last year by these Medichecks results from 26/4/19 TSH

New member...questions about hashimotos and autoimmune encephalitis
New member, in Belgium. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2002 based on the following labs: TSH 19.4 mUI/L (0.35-4.5) FT4 0.41 ng/dL (0.7-1.5) anti-TPO UI/mL 6011 (<11) anti-TG 411 UI/mL (<4) No FT3 tested at the time as doctor said it was "useless". I was put on 50 mcg of Euthyrox and worked my way

NDT supplier possible scam?
Hello, I posted in April that I was running low of Thyroid S and that the two usual suppliers I use were out of stock. Someone on here helpfully PM’d me a link to another supplier who was showing stock, albeit only in 500s, rather than the 1000s I usually order. Knowing there might be a risk, but being

Burning Skin
I have been doing so well on NDT since February 2019 TSH - 0.46 (0.3 - 4.5) FT4 - 16.4 (12 - 22) FT3 - 5.7 (3.1 - 6.8) but on 28 April I was taken into hospital with quick onset glaucoma. I was given a drip to bring down the pressure that evening and had to go back the following morning for laser

NDT dosing
If I’m on 175 levo and wanted to look at alternatives what dosage should I be looking at for both - T3 and T4 combination, what should I look to decrease the levo too if I was to add in t3 NDT alone what would be the equivalent to 175? Thanks

After spending the best part of almost two years on NDT and getting more and more ill I decided 4 months ago to reduce my NDT and introduce more Levo into the mix every two months.

How to stop thyroid NDT medication
Currently on 2.5 grain NDT and will stop taking any thyroid medications. Better going down slowly or rapidly to get the HPA axis re-activated? Thought about going down 1 grain per week?

T3 suppliers?
Please could you pm me if you know of a safe and reliable T3 supplier. I have in the past been on Levo and T3 as well as NDT for a brief period. For the last 3 years, Levothyroxine only and becoming increasingly unwell. I would like to add a small amount of T3 to my dose to see if this helps as previously

Critique of Hypothyroidism Basics
Hi Could I get your thoughts on this summary: BACKGROUND A healthy thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones which regulate body, brain growth, development, body temperature, energy levels and metabolic functions. Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough of hormone T4 and T3, with

How long before I feel better after switching from T4 to NDT?
I've just started taking NDT after being on T4 for over a year and not feeling well despite my latest thyroid tests results being optimal (not just in range). Various tests for nutritional deficiencies were OK too. I have Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and I have fibromyalgia symptoms - numbness (hypoesthesia

Levo cf NDT
Is this right? Levothyroxine Armour is synthetic T4 whereas NDT (natural desiccated thyroid) get their T4 from porcine or bovine sources? Both require prescription? Thanks
