how long for levels to adjust before blood test - Ndt user
hi I was wondering if I could get some advice. I use Ndt on top of thyroxine because it works better for me but gp won’t prescribe it and I’m no longer under my consultant. Taking the dose the consultant prescribed but because I can’t guarantee supply of Ndt now I’m sourcing myself I worry that if I

BBC Article : Prescription drugs sold online without robust checks
Whenever I see this type of article - the BBC and others produce these things every couple of years, I think - I start worrying that I'm going to lose access to thyroid hormones on the web. I know this subject came up with the MHRA last year or the year before, but I don't have a link. Link : https:

Voice weak after thyroidectomy
I had a thyroidectomy 5 years ago and after surgery had a check on vocal cords which were fine. However my voice has recently become a bit weaker and I constantly have to cough to clear my throat. Is this normal so long after surgery?

Endocronologist experience
Hi there, I recently had a top end and very experienced endocrinologist tell me that the 1.6mcg of levo per KG in weight was an old fashioned and outdated theory. Is this the case? I have just upped to 100mcg and was just wondering if I’m on the right dose. He seems to think that’s ok for me.

Increasing armour thyroid
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos and put on armour. I’ve been taking 11/2 grains daily since May and don’t feel great. My most troubling symptoms were mental like low mood, brain fog etc. I ditched HRT in Feb as it was making me feel worse and worse. Would I be ok to try an increase to 2 grains (tablets

Carbimazole
Hi my daughter was diagnosed with graves, doctor put her on carbimazole. She started taking carbimazole and after a few months I can hardly recognise her Her eyes look unfocused and dull and her entire face seems to have sagged drastically. She never longer resembles the happy girl with bright shining

ndt and osteopenia
Hi, I have low thyroid and been on Ndt now for some months and feeling great, 1 1/2 am 1 pm. I have just been diagnosed with osteopenia which can be the start of osteoporosis. Watching YouTube physio’s one pointed out that low thyroid meds can contribute to our bodies not being able build bones. I think

Test Results and heart flutters
Hello everyone, I'm new on here. So glad to have found this site! I've posted before for a friend but now I'm looking for some help with my own thyroid medication. I've had hashimotos for 34 years (since I was 20yrs old) and been on levothyroxine for most of that time. Mostly I've been ok-ish. Just

Help with timing, drinks etc for MonitorMyHealth Test
I was wondering what the best practice is for taking blood samples at home for a Monitor My Health test. I usually try to sleep 10pm-6am, and I have breakfast around 7.20am. However sometimes I don't sleep that long, for example today I slept from 10pm to 4am and couldn't sleep any more. I usually

Small thyroid gland question......
What does it mean if your Free Thyroxine is low (10.8 pmol/L - 12 - 22 R ) and your Thyroid is small ? My Dr is telling me he is unable to except my recent private blood tests which is annoying as I sent bloods of to MediChecks only this morning to check my Thyroid Antibodies which are normally

Small dose of levothyroxine - good or bad?
I had thyroiditis many years ago. Since then, my dose of levothyroxine (and for a while NDT) has varied. However, it has never been a high dose (I don't have any record of it going over 100mcg/day), it has been as low as 25mcg/day, but settled at just 37.5mcg/day (driven by me, based on combination of

Stability of NDT at 5C - stored in the fridge
Hello lovely people I am an idiot! It’s official. I’ve been storing my NDT in the fridge instead of at room temperature. Efra (the manufacturer) have said they have no data to confirm if it’s still effective, so said I should stop taking it. That’s £300 worth of NDT, which I just cannot afford to throw

I have just received my recent thyroid results from a blood test 13 months ago it was 1.3 and now 2.6 have been taking 50 mg of Levothyroxine been on this dosage for the last 10 years. I asked my Gp if l needed to increase the dosage and he advised it’s still in the normal range.

Ethanol Ablation
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced Ethanol Ablation on thyroid lobe? The last post I can find was 2yrs ago. I guess it must be more in use now. My husband was scheduled for right lobe removal operation next Thursday then received a letter from his Consultant yesterday saying that on checking
