Why is my TSH so low when my T4 T3 are so low?
Hi all can some please explain why my TSH is low despite my T4 T3 being low. Correct me if i have got it wrong but i have come to understand that TSH is released by the pituitary gland to stimulate release of more thyroid hormones if levlels are too low. Since 1993 i dont have a thyroid so i am on

Hypothyroidism and levothyroxine treatment only inadequate?
I had a bad experience on levothyroxine only. I am now on T3 but not optimal yet although much better than I was on the levo.I had to go to hospital appointment regarding my dupuytrens contracture, and the doctor, who was going through my medications list, asked why I wasn't on levothyroxine. I told

New prescription of ERFA with levo decrease
Hi everyone I've recently had my first consult with a recommended Endo on TUK list and also some people in my local thyroid group. Mostly good reviews but one person unhappy with him. He's putting me on NDT as says I'm not converting FT4 to FT3 as I suspected. So sorry its so long, I've tried to ask

Hi all. I need to buy NDT. I was on erfa a while ago. When I take Levo, I get calf pain so can’t really take it. Thanks.

Hashimoto
Being diagnosed as a six year old with Hashimoto, which had already destroyed my thyroid I was always wondering what other treatment options are out there. Over the last some years I found out a lot about related illness that I have like high cholesterol, teeth problems, on and off iron deficiency etc

How Off Would Blood Levels Be If Tested Without Fasting Beforehand?
Hiya. I would appreciate thoughts on this. This morning I had to go for an Inflammatory Marker Blood test for something which isn't related to thyroid issues. Unknown to me, my GP had requested a thyroid blood test anyway so I wasn't prepared by fasting from my meds the day before, and I took a multivitamin

Anyone else feel the same?
Each time I have to go through the process of buying NDT I go through a series of emotions.1. Angry that in this day and age I have to buy meds from Thailand 2. That the NHS won't let us have the meds we need 3. The cost if these meds, how will I afford once I've retired 4. The fact the cost is highly

Afib + T3 meds
Hi a couple of mos. back, there was discussion (&link from one of the administrators) re T3 meds & afib. I've had autionary words, but not push back from my endo re my ndt dosage & would like to send along the info. After putting afib in search bar, it did not reveal what I was looking for. Thank

Need your advice, pls, what should I take and how?
Hey all, I've been on a bit of a journey, unwell for the past few years, diagnosed 2012, did awesome on thyroid meds until...I didn't. Since I have now all cofactors optimal (vit D, B12, folate, iron, ferritin - after iron IV, magnesium), I feel my problem either stems from cortisol issues or balance

Ndt and iodine supplement?
Hello everyone! I started treatment with NDT in t4 6 micrograms and t3 1.4 in December 2023. I tolerate it well and I'm happy about it! From my analysis done this month it turns out that my ft4 is 0.98 and ft3 is 2.69 and the tsh is 1.34... How do you find these analyses? My endocrinologist wants to

Reaching out to find the member who successfully did every other day hormone cycling
Due to no
thyroid
and my
natural
size (ie. will always be a large amount for life, even with weight loss) I can not get cheap Cytomel or any form of t3 due to import laws here (Canada). Prescription is crazy expensive even if I could convince my endocrinologist of t3 only.

Considering NDT
Hello everyone, It’s been a while since I have posted! I wish I could say it’s because I have been doing really well on my thyroid journey. I have been very unwell, picking up infections and having allergic reactions to antibiotics that left me with swelling around my eye and now a really ‘nice’ scar

An Enlightening Endocrine Adventure
After appeasing an endocrinologist worried about my suppressed TSH by a cunning lab trick -- withholding NDT for three days before going for the blood work -- I realized I needed to titrate up the dose. Many thanks to those who replied with their NDT experience. I cranked it up to nearly double what

Recommendations for NDT without prescription
Hello everyone, In looking to buy NDT without prescription. I used to be on erfa before I moved back to UK and since I've been here, I have been on levo and it's not working well for me. I'd very much appreciate recommendations via PM. Thank you so much.

Help Please With Thyroid & Vitamin Results.
Hiya! I'd be most grateful if the wise owls of this forum can shed some light on my results, especially the vitamin tests. I am pretty much constantly symptomatic even though my thyroid results seem pretty optimal for NDT use. I also have early onset menopausal osteoporosis, which is being managed.

Vit B/Folate Advice Needed Please
Ever since having my jabs in October I felt very ill initially and then I have carried on feeling unwell and so recently I did an advanced thyroid test with Medichecks and realised my thyroid was out of kilter so I've upped my NDT by 1/8 grain (knowing I had some wiggle room). My vitamins all took
