If any member knows the will send you a PRIVATE MESSAGE as information is not permitted on the open forum.

Doctors don't know anything about natural dessicated thyroid hormones, which used to be prescribed before the Pharma Companies introduced levothyroxine along with blood tests.

Welcome to the forum, Pure2293.

NatureThroid and other brands of NDT aren't licensed for use in the UK so are rarely prescribed on the NHS. If members can recommend a source they will send you a private message. To read a private message: support.healthunlocked.com/...

If you post your recent TSH, FT4 and FT3 results and say how much Levothyroxine you are taking members will advise how to transition from Levothyroxine to NatureThroid.

If you are experiencing joint pain you should have vitamin D tested as low/deficient levels cause bone and joint pain.

Thanks I am on 75mg levothyroxine but I have reduced it to 50 mg as 75mg causes me joint and back pain. My levels are normal 8 and 4.3 I will get my vitamin D levels checked just to be sure - thanks would appreciate any further help!

Pure2293,

What is 8 and what is 4.3? Can you post the lab ref ranges with your results too please?

Hi I don't have a copy of the lab results but the T4 level is 8 and T3 level is 4.3 sorry I am new to this I have only recently been diagnosed with this condition.

Pure2293,

You need to ask for the lab ref ranges when you are given results. Ranges are not universal and vary from region to region so it's not possible to tell whether T4 8 is within or without range or how good/bad FT3 4.3 is.

What was your TSH result?

Could someone please send me a PM aswell if they know where I can get naturethoid? Would REALLY appreciate it. (UK if possible, so most UK people order from the U.S???)Thanks.

Welcome to the forum, Seanyboy01.

Please write a post of your own. Members are more likely to share sources with new members who include some background and recent thyroid results and ranges and say what replacement they are currently taking.

You need a prescription to obtain NatureThroid in the UK and USA but it is available without prescription from offshore online pharmacies.
