My constipation has returned, is this a sign that my medication is not working?

Possibly. Or rather, it may be that you're not on enough, rather than it not working.

How much NDT are you self-medicating with?

Do you have any recent blood test results to share?

Thanks. I haven't had a blood test since August when I was first diagnosed. I am self-medicating, so guessing really, on 60mg three times a day. Early morning, 3 pm and then at 10pm
