Wholefood Dessicated Thyroid Supplements
I was treated 25 yrs ago for overactive thyroid received RAI which made me hypothyroid and prescribed 100 mcg of thyroxine. I have never felt better with any brand or quantity of Levothyroxine and have given up with NHS doctors with regard to endocrinology. I have just completed reading a new book

Help with having Armour Thyroid prescribed on NHS.
Hi, My NHS endocrinologist retired and now the current one won't prescribe Armour Thyroid and so I am having to pay for it privately, which I can't afford to continue to do. Does anyone have the name of an NHS endocrinologist that does prescribe Armour Thyroid to their patients, so I can ask my GP to

Armour Thyroid
I was taking Armour Thyroid from 2003 to 2016 when I was told I could no longer have it and was given Liothyronine but a much lower dose 5mcg x twice a day as opposed to 3 grains of Armour x once a day. Since then I have gained weight again, I sweat profusely, and falling asleep all the time.

Armour Thyroid
Can anyone PM me a source of supply for Armour Thyroid online, as I cannot get it anymore. Worried about being scammed or sent fake products. Thanks in advance.

Thyroidectomy
Hi I am due to have my thyroid removed as I have a multi nodular goitre. I do not have any issues with my thyroid function so am just wondering whether living with thyroxine is as simple as just taking a tablet , as my surgeon says?

suppressed tsh
I’ve recently changed doctors. Been feeling dreadful on Erfa and gained 2 stone in 8 months. My previous endo would not increase dose despite low t3 and t4 as my tsh was optimal My new doctor says I need the increase and has said my thyroid probably doesn’t work anyway after 17 years and I need

DI02 + & further testing advice..
Hi, I have recently tested positive for DI02 through regenerous labs. It's becoming more obvious I am a very poor convertor of levothyroxine. Is it worth testing for more genetic traits that could further affect my conversion and possibly give me a clearer picture of my thyroid & hashimoto's. Blue

T4/T3 Greece
Just got back from Greece and you cannot buy Dithyron over the count anymore. I went to numerous pharmacies and got the same answer it’s now discontinued and they have nothing like it. It seems to be a very recent occurrence. I’m wondering if I pay to see a private doctor there I could get armour

Sleep and Thyroid medications
I always split and take my thyroid meds in two doses 5am and 2pm and every morning at 5am when I take my first dose I fall back to sleep for 3 hours however my afternoon dose does not do this to me …. I thought about taking a dose at bedtime (11pm) but I take Magnesium at 9pm and take Advil just before

Recommendations for NDT without prescription
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.
