Prescribed NDT on NHS now doctor refusing to prescribe. Help!
I has to move GP Practise and before moving to current one I asked to speak to a GP. Receptionist said it wasnt necessary if a nhs consultant has recommended they will prescribe. So wouldn't get a doctor to phone me. I moved. All seem good but my repeats were not being set up. So became concerned.

Hi can anyone shed some light on my continuous hair loss. It was one of my symptoms with my hypothyroidism. I started Thyroid-s and it eventually stopped but then started again about two months ago, otherwise I feel great, infact better than I have in years. I take 1. & 3/4 grains AM and 1 & 1/2 in PM

So I live in uk and for a year now my daughter age 14 has had various symptoms which come and go in severity but impact her life when bad. She is under paediatricians who were unconcerned about her low TSH and after discussion with paed with interest in endocrinology they wrote to gp and said no further

change of meds.
so I’ve been on levo for 15 years and have hashimotos . Around 3 years ago I was added t3 too. I still feel awful and would like my GP to change my levo to a different brand maybe? As all my symptoms seem to be inline with my levo and the side effects. Has anyone had success with this ? I would really

Liothyronine (LT3) prescribing in England: Are cost constraints inhibiting guideline implementation?
Whatever else, this demonstrates beyond any doubt that the cost of the liothyronine Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient is but a minor part of the price charged to the NHS. I'd argue that the simple fact that the NHS agrees these prices strongly suggests something VERY wrong with medicines procurement.

How to share MPs response on Healthunlocked.
I recently write to my MP about the cost of T3. He posed two questions to the Govt. and I think people here might like to see them but I'm not sure how to share them. Any hints gratefully received as I really do no want to type them.

Best Private Endo and/or Private Thyroid Practitioner
I've been having T4 treatment for Hypothyroidism on NHS for a while, and I'm still feeling terrible. I have private health insurance coverage though, and I haven't used it. Also have low testosterone which I've been successfully treated for. Could someone PM me the best Endo on the private list?

Cholesterol level and Q Risk
I don't remember seeing any discussions about the Q Risk with relation to a stroke or heart attack. My last bloods came back normal, no action. My cholesterol was 5.3 and I'm on 2mg pred.I asked the nurse what the Q risk was and it came up as 25% chance of a stroke or heart attack within the next 10

Should I reduce T3?
Endo ( reluctantly) agreed 5mg increase of T3 🥳 currently take 125mg T4 & 10mg T3. When i began introducing T3 originally I was advised by 'The Knowledgable Ones' here 👍to reduce T4 before introducing T3. Which worked out very nicely 'Thank you All' Do I need to do that again with these results

New research. Linking Amiodarone inhibiting levothyroxine just published.
I'm a little staggered this is new!! But it is.... And I've experienced a lot of problems with ndt tolerance level even 7 months since Amiodarone was stopped. Beginning to wonder whether Amiodarones had a permenant effect. In Vivo Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetic Interaction between Levothyroxine

High dose Turmeric and links to low ferritin
My ferritin has dropped from 82ug/L (30-150) 4 months ago to 64ug/L (30-264) this week (both Medichecks- Inuvi lab). I’ve been scratching my head to find out why this could be, as my diet hasn’t changed. https://amzn.eu/d/bTWoF2o The only change I’ve made is to increase my usual turmeric dose (which

Leukocytes, protein and blood.
Hi all, my urine samples have started showing leukocytes protein and blood. I have GPA which mainly affects my lungs and now sinuses. I guess I just want to know if having these in my urine with no actual urine infection could mean that there's possibly now kidney involvement too?. Hope you're all keeping

Blood Test Results Help Please
I have just got my blood test results back. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis in 1994. My TSH is low & my T4 is low in the range. The lab refused to test my T3. My Folate is low & I feel my B12 is at the low end of the range (to feel well). My GP has just texted me re the Folate, but ignored

Liver Beef Glandular pills for iron?
Hi. Has anyone tried Liver Beef Glandular pills to increase iron rather than iron pills directly? My naturopathic doctor prefers this for RLS, because he says that iron pills are oxidizing. My Ferritin is ~80. And, I'm new here -- super helpful community. Now that I understand RLS, as I look back,

Has anyone tried Neovos for an MMA urine test please?
Hi...wondering if anyone has tried these for tests please? I've used St Thomas hosp in past but they stopped over covid and am awaiting to hear back from them about current testing. Meanwhile these came up as offering a b12 urine test for £63,which is for MMA considerably cheaper than others available
