No NDT left!

[malone1]

Ive been on 3 grains for several months now and doing very well, even lost some weight. Stupidly didnt realise how low my supply was. I have re-ordered from USA (my usual supplier) but took my last tablet this morning. HELP! Do I take nothing till the order arrives or substitute with LEV in the meantime? Any advice greatly appreciated. x

Malone, take the Levothyroxine until the NDT arrives.

Thanks Clutter but how much? Just a small amount to tick over or equivalent of 3 grains?

[Clutter in reply to malone1]

Malone, just a small amount won't stop you becoming hypothyroid. What dose Levothyroxine were you taking prior to NDT? 3 grains is bioactively equivalent to 225mcg-300mcg Levothyroxine.

Thanks Clutter. Post office tried deliver today but I wasnt in to pay the customs charge! So annoying. Will only be without till Monday so will take may 100mcg just for the few days
