Splitting NDT - SHBG and cortisol changes - help!
Hi all, I have started splitting my Armour dose, taking less in the morning and more in the afternoon. I had a test for ft3 ft4, but also checked cortisol and SHBG. I was so surprised. My ft4 is similar to where it was before splitting, my ft3 is a tad higher. SHBG went up from 62 to 79.9. Cortisol

First NHS Endo Apt - a battle story
I finally have an NHS endo apt (which they cancelled but I begged to get reinstated) and wanted to be armed with questions - can you help? ... Short story is I've been battling joint/limb pain/numbness for 5 years and been through many departments and had MRI/PET SCANs - all clear. MS/Rheumatism/Lupus

T3 advice and suggestions desperately needed.
Hi everyone, I was so grateful to see you all still here. After 25 years of a ME/CFS diagnosis. A hospital endo has just picked up that I have very low T3 just scrapping in at the bottom and a high T4 over-range. I have always felt dreadful on levothyroxine and my final raise of 100 mcg was 4 years

Thyroid function tests
Hi all, The GP has printed off a form for me to take to the hospital tomorrow to check my TSH levels. I’ve noticed on the form it says, ‘thyroid function tests’. Does this include T3 and T4? I know last time I only had a result for TSH. If so, do I need to fast? My test isn’t until 4pm.

New Hyperthyroidism diagnosis
Hi all, I am new here and have found reading through all the information I’ve found here invaluable. I have recently been diagnosed as having hyperthyroidism- my story is in my bio. I have my first endocrinologist appointment this week and I’m not sure what to expect. My GP wouldn’t prescribe Carbimazole

Sourcing NDT medication
Hi, I’d appreciate anyone who can PM me with their current source for thyroid medication. I’m in the UK and managed to get Thyroid-s from a thailand shop a few years back, which was much better value than the US pharmacy I was using before that, but I’ve discovered they no longer exist. Hope you can

Does The Thyroid Affect Potassium Levels?
Hi! A bit of a random question but I’ve recently had some bloods taken by my GP surgery and my potassium levels have come back a little low (3.2 range 3.5-5.3) My TSH is 3.06 (range 0.27-4.20), which I think is a little too high although in range, so it got me thinking if there is a link at all between

Cost of a full thyroid panel v TSH alone
We often hear of patients being refused a full thyroid panel due to cost. Can anyone tell me the cost differential to the NHS as I suspect it may be minimal.

Getting Desiccated Thyroid Prescribed on NHS - and how YOU did it?
I have been nudged to create a blog article about getting desiccated Thyroid (NDT) prescribed through the NHS. However, I have no personal experience of this and am asking for help. I’m moderately aware of what has happened in the past. But what I want is to describe the steps to getting a prescription

Advice on Thyroid blood tests please?
hello everyone, could I get some input on my brother’s thyroid results please as I am attending his GP appointment with him. He has had three lots of thyroid testing since December 2023 and I think the first two results indicated Hypo and I believe that he should have been treated. However, a third

NDT vs T4 T3 combination therapy
Hello everyone. Please share your experience NDT vs combination therapy. Currently I am on combo but still have symptoms (I have no thyroid). I am doing better on combo than on T4 only. I want to try NDT and see if it will make me feel better. Since both of them mainly contain T4 T3 may I expect significant

Armour thyroid
I have been on armour for several years and my endo is aware. 2 months ago I had a blood test which showed my levels were fairly low, TSH was 8 ish and t3 and t4 were low. So I increased my dose slightly whilst waiting for a further endo appointment. Within a couple of weeks I was hyper, no blood test
