Best way to take NDT
Hello, today is my first day taking NDT. I was on a T4/T3 combo for the last two years. I usually chewed my meds (T4, T3) and tried to grind them as much as possible with my teeth before drinking a glass of water. What is the best way to take NDT? Can I take it in the same way to ensure good absorption

Morning? or Bedtime?
Hello, I recently came across Dr. Childs on YouTube, and watched his video about why taking your thyroid medication (hypo) may be better at night just before bed. I've been taking mine for almost 30 yrs the moment I wake up in the morning, waiting an hour before eating, 2-4 hrs before any supplements

GP Coming - what to ask
having my annual review tomorrow and GP is coming to see me. Looking at all my past results I wonder, with them being up and down constantly, whether I am one of those whereby Levo no longer works for me and might be keeping me ill. Diagnosed back in 2005 and it's too far back to remember how I was

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.

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

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

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

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

Test results confusing
My mum has had an underactive thyroid for years...alongside type 1 diabetes. She was told she wasn't having enough levothyroxine, so the doctor wanted her to put it up to 100, but she asked to go on 75, as she felt 100 would be too much. The doctor agreed. She had a blood test on the 7th December and

Preparing for GP appt
Hello I have a GP appointment in a few weeks to discuss blood tests results and symptoms (tiredness, weight gain, low mood, pins and needles). Based on what I've read on this forum, it sounds like these symptoms and results could be indicative of hypothyroid, but because TSH is within range I'm unlikely

Has anyone any experience of alternatives? Bugleweed herb? Or motherwort for palpatations?
Hi everyone, normally would fit profile of hypo, always tired, cold, hard to lose weight etc so doc put symptoms down to perimenopause, but a suspected heart episode one night led me to ask for bloods.TSH 0.01, T4, 49 and hypercalcemia both serum and adjusted. Decided to pay for ultrasound, three 6mm

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
