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.

Help boosting thyroid without medication?
Hello all I have posted before as my thyroid function is poor but always comes back in range (my TSH never rises even with low levels) so no chance of medication on the NHS (other than statins for high cholesterol which I refuse). I did some recent tests TSH 1.95 (0.27-4.2) T4 14.6 (12-22) T3

Total thyroidectomy - what to expect?
A family member has just had her thyroid removed. She has Hashimoto's, the thyroid had become very hard and contained pre-cancerous cells. Does anyone have any advice/tips I could pass on to her? What should we expect now? She is not UK based.

half life T3 in NDT
I've read over a period of time that T3 has half-life of anywhere from 2-2.5 days. I have, always, assumed (bad thing!) that was for synthetic T3. Anyone know, if that time-frame is applicable to dessicated T3? My FT3 shot up from 2.7 in late Feb. to 3.85 2 weeks ago. I had increased dose from97.5

John Midgley
Hi Everyone, I am so sorry to tell you all that our beloved Dr John Midgley passed away peacefully on Saturday afternoon. I am so saddened by this news, as I know many of you will be. He worked so hard with his colleagues to make things better for thyroid patients. He will be sadly missed on this

TPO ab dropped to 'normal' levels
Good Morning all! I'm not here very often these days because largely thanks to the advice and support of the superstars here, my thyroid medication has been under control for a few years now. I hope this is a beacon of hope for those of you still battling through. I take my NHS t4 and I supplement
