Nature thyroid increase
Hi all, started on Nature Thyroid ( NT) on Nov 2nd. half grain for 4 days, then increased to 1 grain for 2 weeks, now on 1.5 grain for 7 days. Very little difference in how I felt prior to starting eg, tired, poor motivation, poor sleep, brain fog. New symptoms, low blood pressure, temperature also

Eltroxin
An NHS endo told me years ago always to get eltroxin brand of thyroxine -as it was the best. A few years ago it wasn't available and o eventually settled for mercury pharma. Last week my chemist gave me eltroxin, albeit 5x25mg per day. Is this the same as original eltroxin? Or a different mix? Thanks

conversions from NDT help needed
Like others I have just discovered that naturethroid has been out of production, and that there is now a back log for orders. I will be e-mailing my supplier later for an estimation of how long it will take for an order to go through. Meanwhile I am looking into what other options I have. I have made

Under active tyroid hashimoto disease
Hiya, Pól here. I've got an underactive tyroid hashimoto disease. Taking 125mg of eltroxin they are putting it up to 150 mg I'm worried. Is anyone on here in a similar situation?

Under active tyroid
Hi, Does anyone have an under active tyroid and if they do so they take eltroxin. My dose has been upped to 150mg from 125mg. Worried the tyroid problem may be getting worse? :(

Hypothyroidism and moods
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in June when my second child was 5 months old. It had gotten to the stage where I wasn't even able to get out of bed. I had also put on a stone and half in one month alone even though I was barely fit to eat. On having my bloods taken it was discovered my tsh was 113
