Experiences with

Natural desiccated thyroid (NDT)

I’ve booked an appointment with a thyroid U.K. recommended doctor who can prescribe T4, T3 and NDT and look at vitamin levels, adrenals and sex hormones but this isn’t scheduled to take place until mid August.

Have tried NDT and also adding t3 over the years but became hyperthyroid with double vision. Looks to me that I’m not converting T4 to T3. Finally able to start to read and think straight again. Please any suggestions. Thank you.

I add a quarter grain NDT to my T3+T4 so it will last a long time, but still....

I’m currently taking approximately 100mcg Levo does this equate to 1 grain of NDT? Thanks 🙏

My GP had suggested we try NDT if I had a T4 to T3 conversion issue, but I feel a bit nervous about switching over - thoughts definitely wanted on that front please. I see him again on the 24th September and just want to get my thoughts straight before I am there. Thank you again 😀

I wish I could revert back to Levothyroxine and use it together with T3 as NDT is extortionately priced, and not working brilliantly for me anymore, however, weight gain is my biggest fear, and I read so much about this on here and elsewhere.

What site is there that has NDT at reasonable prices that i can get online? I am in America and it isnt sold here because the fda won't allow it.

Why might moving Levo from bedtime (when I hate taking it because I want a glass of milk to go to bed on) to 08:00 with my NDT cause me to wake anxious and in need of taking it fast? I also applied my HRT hormones quickly this morning in the hope the would settle things but it hasn't really.

Hi guys, I'm on NDT. I've been waiting a while for a blood test as I have a lot going on, not just thyroid. Will the blood test result be ok? Feel so stupid! TIA

And obviously a lot of forum members use private Endos and prescribers for T3 and NDT. Does this story reflect your own views and experiences? What do think about it? https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/aug/31/nhs-queues-mean-most-britons-expect-to-pay-for-healthcare-says-report

There's very few endocrinologists in Sweden who prescribe NDT and you need to go through an arduous annual approval process to be stay on NDT even if you find an endo willing to prescribe it. I think the uncertainty of staying on Erfa+Lio will be too stressful for me.

I’m on 3 grams of Armour NDT. I’m exhausted all the time since about the last two months or so and can’t even walk the dogs. Just tried to get an appointment with my usual doctor but nothing available for the next month! Debating whether to go to A&E as I’m worried it could be a heart problem.

But despite this, I feel better on NDT than I did on Levothyroxine, even when my numbers were (on paper) more satisfactory on Levothyroxine. In early February, after a period of taking 1.5 grains, TSH was 0.462 (0.27-4.2), T3 was 4.3 (3.1-6.8), and T4 was 11.3 (12-22).

Any other advice welcome from seasoned NDT users.

Hi I have found a stash of expired NDT, and some expired Cytomel, and some expired NutriAdrenal supplements. Plus other supplements. They all stem from this struggle which started years ago. What do we think about expired NDT? How long after the expiry date would you still use it for?

I generally have been feeling much better, now I've switched to NDT and my thyroid results are finally optimal. But I still get some fatigue, and the feeling of everything taking a lot more effort than it should - (like I'm wading through treacle.

It seems there are so many overlapping symptoms between low iron, low thyroid, adrenals, peri-menopause and my recent trial with NDT was not great so wanting to try again or possibly try T4, but keen to address iron in relation to it all too. Many thanks

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.

One day I hope to have enough money to get NDT again, also I have tried Thyroid S 7 years ago and got Achillies Tendonitis for 9 months and was in complete agony and had to go back to Armour Thyroid, of which the price has gone up 10 fold in 19 years.

Hi everyone ❤️ Just a little up date on how I'm progressing on the roseway NDT capsules, I'm now on day 12 and so far I've had no stomach or intestinal problems 🙌 Ho!!
