Just Started Natural Desiccated Thyroid

[MoaningLisa]

Hi, I've just started taking 60mg of NDT - 'Thiroyd'. Is anyone else on it and have your symptoms improved??? Thanks in advance.

I could have been u asking this question except i was on 100 levo

I have been taking NDT from Thailand since 12 June and am now on 3 grains a day. I was on 100 mcg T4 and 32.5 mcg T3. I don't know if this is a good type of NDT but I was desperate to try It and didn't have a prescription. I increased my dose too fast and had a tightness in my chest and felt breathless so I reduced it to 3 grains. I feel better than I did on synthetic medication, I have more energy.

If you haven't had T3 before I think you should increase your dose slowly.

Yes and yes but I am on ThyroidS. I am on 1.25 grains and feel much better than the 3 years on Levo. I did a gradual replacement one for the other as set out by the thyroid patient advocacy guidelines. I split me dose am and pm.

Hope the NDT is lifting your spirits MoaningLisa - funny screen name too! Improvements were very fast for me.

I've just started, so in the same position as you are at the moment. Went to Thiroyd from 75mcg Levo + 37.5mcg T3.

Am on 1 grain, plan on increasing in about 5 days.

Thanks for your help everyone. Just one more question, what's the difference between Thiroid and ThiroidS?
