Changing from Levo to NDT - dosing advice needed
Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice on dosing - switching from levothyroxine 75mcg to NDT (most probably ERFA or Thyroid S) but I've been advised by pennyannie that ERFA might be best as I have hashimotos. So what should I aim to be on with NDT? My vitamin levels are good as I supplement with Vit

T3 monotherapy people
Just a quick question for those on T3 only out of curiosity - what is your overall dose, your split dose (if any) and how long did it take you to get there? I know it’s different for everyone but would be interesting to see how others work their dosing ☺️ So far gradually up to 65mcg, definitely

Have taken 2.5 grains NDT for many years. Recently started suffering from burning feet pads and tongue swelling late evening. Have noticed that the batch number for the NDT I currently take was hi-lighted for some reason on a facebook page but cannot find the page and reason why. The GP has referred

Thyroid test when unwell
I have an annual GP thyroid test tomorrow and am feeling unwell. Feel sick and wiped out and sinus infection. Will this affect my results? It's just the normal GP test. Thanks

Support for long term thyroid condition
hi just wanted to ask here if anyone knows if the uk classes a thyroid condition as an auto immune disease that warrants support and recognition? Wondered if there’s support financially or work wise etc for having a thyroid condition I get the sense it’s palmed off as not a big deal, when it’s a life

I must admit that even after a few years, while I mostly understand my thyroid test results, my iron tests continue to confuse me - I just can’t seem to get my head around the significance of the different parts. So I wondered if someone who actually understands could please explain in really simple

Thyroid private blood tests - new company
Hi - A couple weeks ago someone posted a new company offering thyroid tests that have blood drawing clinics in London and is very reasonably priced. I have just had an unfortunate experience with Medichecks as the clinic I chose in London had no appointments for over a month. I am being issued a refund

NDT Named Patient basis
Hello everyone. I'm just seeking an update: Is NDT still only prescribed on NHS on a named patient basis? I was listening to the interview of Lynn last year and there was talk this may no longer be required. Am thinking of moving GP surgeries as its barely functioning but don't want to jinx my NHS NDT

Question for thyroidectomized patients: iodine processing issues?`
Hi, it seems to me that if I eat a bit too much seafood, I see some adverse issues. I do not have a thyroid, and wonder - since the thyroid is by far the organ with the highest need for iodine... how does iodine get processed in the body of someone who does not have a thyroid? If you also lack a thyroid
