Can someone please remind me of how far through ranges is usually best?
I’ve just used the thyroid calculator for my latest results, see attached, any thoughts welcome. My TSH is 0.01 but it’s surpressed because I take NDT. Current dose 100mcg thyroxine, 1/2 grain ERFA twice daily. Many thanks (Bloods taken inline with protocol suggested on this site)

What on Earth's going on?
How can an increased dose of NDT result in an increased TSH! Like most on here I wouldn’t normally worry too much about TSH but I’m consulting a private endo and he clearly does think it’s relevant so I need to respect that. Also, I’m decidedly not as well as I was before the dose increase/decrease in

combination of NDT and t4?
Just reaching out to see if anyone else is on a NDT with an added t4. Unable to increase NDT due to t3 going over range. I ended up adding in t4 50mcg to 1 grain armour. I then switched to 125mcg (gradually increased to this over the past 7 months) plus a 5mcg of t3 compounded. well I feel dreadful

ADT and ED Meds?
I am just starting Orgovyx and it's working well.... too well as far as ED is concerned. I had no significant issues prior to ADT with achieving an erection and orgasm. So at a minimum I'm pretty motivated to try and get it back in some form or fashion or at least do whatever I can prophylactically

Does anyone actually have an NHS 'named patient basis' for NDT?
Hi all, I hope everyone is well . I am doing a lot better nowadays, having been on Armour for about 9 months now. My memory is much better, I have more energy (and a full-time job in health research :) ), my muscles no longer ache, and I don't have random dizzy/fainting spells. My stomach bloating is

Does anyone take NDT at night?
Hi I’m thinking about swapping my meds to nighttime. I currently take a combination of ERFA and thyroxine first thing, and then another 1/2 grain of ERFA at lunch. But my calcium is very low and I need to take multiple doses at the moment which is tricky with thyroid meds. So I’ve been thinking

question about hypothermia?
a couple weeks back, I visited my Kaiser infusion lab …. Lupron implant and Zometa pain train infusion. While there the intake nurse was alarmed with my 95.2 body temp. It’s been running between 95.2 and 95.7 lately. She told me to go to the E.R. , immediately, if it dropped to 95 or less. They were

ADT Emotional Lability Do Antidepressants Help?
Dear All, I’m dealing with the emotional lability of ADT and was wondering if Antidepressants helped? Just curious about others experiences. I have tried escitalopram but was deathly nauseous 3 days in and stopped taking it and haven’t tried anything else. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

To ARi or not to ARi, that is the question
I had a 12/22 .71 PSA, 6mo doubling time and PSMA confirmed 5mm met in right pelvic lymph node (after prior failure of RP and fossa IMRT to “cure”). I have been on Orgovyx for a month and start 28 sessions of IMRT to the pelvic lymph nodes with boost to known met next week. Tolerating Orgovyx very well

Relugolix/Orgovyx with pelvic radiation?
My PSA is increasing once again beyond the detectable level. 9 years ago had RPT. 6 years ago had follow up PBRT only upon a detectable psa rise. See history in profile. My recent PSA is at 0.364. I have a PSMA PET scan scheduled at UCSF in April. Should the scan show metastasis in the pelvic

Natural Desiccated Thyroid
Hiya I just wanted to let NDT users know that I heard yesterday that NDT will no longer be available to the UK without a prescription. Its bad news for users of NDT and will make NDT more expensive. Apparently the company we usually order from say its a new policy. But I am wondering if its due to MHRA

QOL - Even More Handy APC Euphemisms

High blood pressure from NDT increase
hi all, hoping for some insight. I have increased from 1.5 to 2 grains. I’ve noticed no changes aside from improved mood and a strange tightness in my hands and feet, it’s like swelling. My initial thoughts were high blood pressure but my blood pressure is measuring normal. Latest thyroid bloods

moving from twice daily to once daily dosing on NDT
hi - A quick question! I’m settling into NDT at the moment and am on 2 grains. As I transitioned from T4/T3 combo, I kept the dosing pattern the same and currently take NDT in the morning and the early afternoon. I would like to experiment with taking my NDT in one go to keep life simple. Do you
