Private consultants who prescribe Erfa
Hi there! I have been feeling great on Erfa since February this year -- much better than I felt on a combination of Levothyroxine and Cytomel during the previous 25 years. Now my consultant no longer accepts Inuvi which was the only company that provided a nurse to come to my home to draw my blood. I'm

Daughter’s results causing confusion - Hashimoto’s AND Graves??
Hi everyone, This post comes with a caveat. I’m sat looking through my daughter’s blood test results from the second part of last year. I’m doing this because she’s off college again with some sort of virus, this follows a week of Covid. I’m ashamed to say that I’m only looking at these results

Switching NDTs
Hiya. I am currently trialling a switch to another NDT. I would be grateful if any folk that have done this could advise on dosing during the switch please. Would it be a case of just switching at the same dose, or starting again? Any thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks!

Switching from NDT back to T3 only
Is something like NDT (T4) withdrawal symptoms possible? To be exact, if you are on T3 only but due to some circumstances have to take NDT for a couple of weeks as a replacement and then again can switch back to T3 only, then because of the longer half-life of T4 (up to 9 days I've read), can it become

GP Levothyroxine review appointment today
Today I had my appointment with the GP to review my Levothyroxine. He introduced himself as the GP that I am registered with not the one I was told I would see. He is Indian and even using the microphone that bluetooths directly into my hearing aids he was very difficult to understand. Several times

NDT Thiland
Hi, I’ve been taking armour thyroid for 9 months or so now. I’m now up to 2.5 grains and the private clinic I use don’t think I’m at my optimal dose yet. I feel a lot better but the problem is that it’s very expensive. Dose anyone have any advice about getting NDT from Thailand and what brand. Thanks

High ferritin results
Hi 👋 Latest results attached I have been on a stable dose of 1.5 grains of Armour Thyroid daily, for a couple of years now, prescribed by a private thyroid doctor. The NHS didn't want to treat my borderline low thyroid. I feel good, and have no symptoms, but I am concerned about my high ferritin

Looking back on my thyroid journey, a success story and motivation to keep on fighting :)
Two years ago an occupational health advisor wrote a review of my condition for my employer that broke my heart. I was 2 months into taking NDT and finally starting to see some improvements in my Hashimoto’s symptoms. I was gradually building up my stamina and able to go for a 15 minute walk, and I

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

Cortisol saliva test and NDT dose
Hi, I'm doing a Regenerus cortisol saliva test tomorrow. All ready and prepared, I stopped biotin supplements a week ago, etc. However, when I did the last cortisol saliva test I was not taking NDT.
Do I take my NDT morning dose before the 8am saliva test or after? (I usually take it around

Advice about recent NDT thyroid blood tests and high SHBG
Hi there! Is there any connection between high SHBG and taking NDT thyroid medication? I've been feeling better than ever on my Erfa thyroid medication and I don't feel over medicated at all, but I had high SHBG. My estradiol also seems high. I've read that one reason for high SHBG can be hyperthyroidism

Do I just learn to live with thinning hair?
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 1997 & was on thyroxine for 17 years.Then on T3-only for about 4 years,after testing positive for the D102 variant from both parents. I have been on NDT for a few years now-THIROID at first until its supply issues.I got on very well with TR MANN & was very disappointed
