34, Osteoporosis and scared of drugs
Hello all So just seen my GP regarding many matters including my recently diagnosed osteoporosis in my spine (-2.5). She wants me on supplements which I’m okay about but also to try bisphosphonates which I’m very not okay about. All I’ve read about them scares me stupid. I have tremendously bad luck

Taken off NDT
Hi there, my friend who has been well on NDT for many years now, has been taken off it by the endo who says he is no longer able to prescribe it. She has been given Liothyronine but is not well on it, and told her 'levels' are fine. She wants to look into getting a private prescription, but from my research

T3 Timings Please
Just wondered how much space to leave in between T3 doses, currently taking 6.25mcg in the very early hours with Levo and then taking the next 6.25mcg around lunchtime/ early PM. Is this leaving enough time or too much time between doses? Not sure how long T3 lasts. I'm obviously aiming for consistent

🤷🏻♀️ Sudden jump up in T4
Morning all 😉 I have Hashimoto’s and have had radio active iodine treatment over 16 years ago so have been on Levothyroxine since. I’m familiar with all the testing and get regularly tested by my GP. I also private test occasionally to check my T3 as my local area do not test that on the NHS. I

Book on hypothyroidism as I wait for Levo to kick in?
Hi all, and thanks for having me here. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in October and started on 25mg Levo per day. Last week I saw my GP for (I think) an unrelated matter. She looked at my blood results from December (TSH 2.35, down from 4.39 in October, and T4 9.2, up from 7.9 in October) and

Starting on Armour
Starting on Armour for first time tomorrow, I have been told to take 1/2 grain at 8am and 1/4 grain at 3pm. According to the Thyroid Pharmacists conversion table that is equivalent to 75 levo, I am currently only on 50 levo which I have been told to stop while I trial the Armour. I tried 75 levo 3

The ignorance continues...
Standing in the chemist, waiting and waiting for a prescription that had gone missing, I asked the Pharmacist (who looked about 14), who was just standing around, whether they dispense many prescriptions for Liothyronine. "No, thats old fashioned and does not work. Drugs like that are being discontinued

Advice please
I had a senior moment this evening and when I went to take my magnesium as I do every night, I mistakenly lifted my levothyroxine and took it instead. I normally take it in the morning. Should I NOT take it in the morning now or should I just carry on as normal. This has never happened me before.

Help with prescription
Hi, I currently take Levothyroxine in 25 mcg and 50 mcg, the pharmacy only have the 50’s and not the 25’s. Does anyone know if they can issue the 50’s and let me take the prescription for the 25’s elsewhere, or would I need to get the doctors to make two separate prescriptions? Thank you

Different brands of Liothyroxine
Hi just a quick question. I am one of the fortunates that had an endo willing to prescribe T3. My first prescription was issued by the hospital pharmacy and my second by my local pharmacy… they are two different brands (I haven’t started taking either yet for reasons not related ) I queried this with

Converting dosages
I’m currently taking approximately 100mcg Levo does this equate to 1 grain of NDT? Thanks 🙏

Levothyroxine and arrhythmia
Diagnosed with hypothyroidism in infancy. Been on treatment my entire life. Currently 200mcg levo daily. Last few years been having ectopic heartbeats and arrhythmia. Anybody else had this and is it linked to thyroid hormone treatment?
