Extreme Hair Loss Advice
Hello All, While I'm waiting to see a dermatologist and a doctor about my hair loss, I would really appreciate some extra advice from all the beyond amazing people of this forum. I've always had some hair loss since having hypo, but nothing like I'm losing now, ever! It's so extreme, I don't even

NDT dosing confusion, how to make it work?
Hi All, Trying to understand the NDT dosing and if it's working for me. They say 1 grain of Erfa is about 100 McG of levo. However, 1 grain only gives you 38 McG of T4. So if I was on 88 McG of levo before NDT and I now take 1 grain of NDT instead, I only get 38 McG of T4? How does the 1 grain equals

My ERFA delayed in post, not sure what to do.

Amiodarone and thyroid
Hello, Q for those on Amiodarone. My thyroid has gone from bad to worse and now my gp wants to see me. I’m guessing to put me on more medications. To those on thyroid meds, will I lose this thyroid weight I’ve gained? Tia 🫶

ATA Virtual Patient Forum: International Thyroid Awareness Week - Wednesday, May 29, 2024, 8pm - 9:15pm EDT
In case anyone is interested, registration appears to be open - both in they are accepting registrations AND it is open to the public. It would be interesting to find out about how useful it is. The time makes it somewhat awkward for many in the UK. I think it works out to be 01:00 in the morning

Half a Thyroid better than none?
I have had Long Covid since March 2020. Investigations showed the right half of my Thyroid was enlarged. I was told all thyroid indicators were fine and that my disabling LC symptoms had nothing to do with my thyroid. Eventually, four years later the stars aligned for me to have an operation. That was
