The condition after 2.5 years on NDT
I'm taking
NDT
for 2.5 years, take 2.375 tablets divided into 4 times in a day. I was taking only thyroxine during 24 years and the biggest dose was 125 mcg. Using
NDT
I feel much better, I lost 10 kg. But what bothers, that looks like I have not enough fat, especially in the upper body.

How long does it take for NDT Thyroid-S to leave your system?
I had my thyroid fully removed in 2008 & I'm on T3 only 20mcg 3 X day.A few months ago I swapped to
NDT
Thyroid-S & I've stopped taking my T3. I feel better than I've felt in years. My question is how long does it take for
NDT
Thyroid-S to leave your system? Thank You

Small dose of levothyroxine - good or bad?
I did feel even better on
NDT
, but haven't taken that for a few years. I've recently been diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency (AI), believed caused by the steroid in my asthma inhaler.

Switching to NDT or adding T3?
As I seem no longer to be able to get any medication changes from the NHS I'm considering either switching to
NDT
(sourced privately) or adding in T3 (also sourced privately).

Taken off NDT
Are other people being taken off
NDT
who were historically prescribed it? If so, apart from self-medicating, what options are there to explore in order to have the prescription reinstated? Thank you.

Help with timing, drinks etc for MonitorMyHealth Test
I take
NDT
1 grain around breakfast time, so depending on when I take a blood test, I would not have taken any for around 24 hours. Is this right? Thank you very much.

Blood Test Results! Can Anyone Interpret?
Recently I've found I feel a lot better on
NDT
Only. Six weeks ago I posted asking how long it takes to get
NDT
out of my system because I need my GP annual blood test to show I'm on T3 only. I got so much helpful advice. Thank You. Anyway. The max to get
NDT
out of my system was 6 weeks.

Recommendations for an endocrinologist who will prescribe NDT
I would be very grateful for any recommendations by private message for endocrinologists who will prescribe
NDT
, as there are only a couple on the Thyroid UK list. I live in S W London, but location wouldn’t matter if they do online consultations. Many thanks.

Hypothyroidism and levothyroxine treatment only inadequate?
It cannot be that rare if so many on here are not tolerating levothyroxine only, and many are self-medicating with liothyronine or
NDT
. Please tell me if she is ill informed, like most of the medical profession regarding hypothyroidism treatment. Any thoughts please?

Endo recommendations?
Can anyone send me (via private message, do not reply here please) recommendations for a private endocrinologist who has a record of prescribing
NDT
or T3 and won't baulk at suppressed TSH. Does such a specialist even exist?

I’m currently on 2.5 grains of
NDT
, slowly upped from 50mg of thyroxine since going to a private thyroid clinic. My symptoms of cold and tiredness have completely resolved but my digestive issues remain.

Extreme Hair Loss Advice
The most interesting part is that it started to happen to this extreme level since I switched to
NDT
(Erfa).

low levels of T4 & T3 on 3 grains of NDT
Dear all, Again I need some help with my blood tests interpretation and further steps. I’m currently on 3 grains of thyroid-s and my results are as shown on the table below. Both FT3 & FT4 levels are not satisfactory. Could this be because of the low levels of ferritin, D3 and B12? Or do I need to
