Is it possible to obtain NDT without precription?
I got T3 for 20 years from a source abroad but that avenue is closed now. I'm trying to find and change to desiccated thyroid. Does anybody know where I could find it?

Good Afternoon everyone 😊 Thyroid UK recommends London Private Ultrasound Clinic. Please could anyone who has used them private message me with your experiences, good or bad, or anything I should be aware of beforehand?

Firstly I saw gp on Nov 9th she told me I need to be seen by an endocrinologist as urgent referral, she also stopped my T3 medication saying "you will get the feferal before your T3 runs out" this is because of your last blood work (hypo) 😂.I explained I've got around 7/8 days supply left🙄 just got

IGE Blood test results in severe asthma?
Does anyone know if it’s ok to have normal full count IGE levels in severe asthma? Do they shoot up in exacerbations? What tests you need to prove severe asthma in tertiary centres?I believe Synacthen is one of them to check steroid resistance is there any other specific to check once having exacerbation

Trying to learn again
Can anyone tell me why they test tsh when your on medication if it really serves no purpose. Isn't the free t3 and free t4 the main goal.

STILL can't find my dose
Last time I posted, I was going up to 225mcg, when at 200mcg my tsh was already 0.04 and FT4 17(9-19). Biggest mistake I ever made. I ended up feeling worse than ever before on 225mcg after about 4 weeks on it. The most SEVERE bedridden fatigue one could experience and the worst brain fog ever. No
