Blood results

Hi! I've been taking NDT for past 3 months now. I started on Thiroyd and recently swapped to Thyroid S (purchased online from Thailand). Bloods today were: TSH <0.01, T4 14.9, and low folate, high ESR, and elevated platelets. Have been advised to reduce NDT. I have been taking 1.5 grains am and a further 1.5 grains around 6 hours later. I've been started on Folate and already take other prescribed and over the counter medications. Would appreciate any thoughts and comments. Thanks.

Frustratedmum,

T3 in NDT often suppresses TSH. I wouldn't reduce dose unless a FT3 test showed FT3 over range. You can order a FT3 test from Blue Horizon via thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...
