Need Thyroid med asap

[hoalarg]

There has been a huge mix up with my Naturthyroid and now I am out of them. I have ordered more but probably won't come for days from USA. Ant ideas for speedy delivery? Getting pretty desperate!!

[Clutter]

Hoalarg,

Would your GP prescribe Levothyroxine until NDT arrives?

[hoalarg in reply to Clutter]

He's never believed I have an underactive thyroid so no. I really don't know what to do. Take iodine?

[Clutter in reply to hoalarg]

Hoalarg,

You can probably get T4 + T3 delivered from Cyprus in 7-10 days if that's any good?

[hoalarg in reply to Clutter]

Thanks, but I think my fresh order from USA will be quicker. I hope I don't get too unwell. Can you recommend an alternative remedy just to give me some respite.

[Clutter in reply to hoalarg]

Hoalarg,

No, I've never used alternatives. Write a post and ask members what they recommend.

Hoalarg - My Naturethroid runs out tomorrow, so I'm going to try Metavive, available in the UK, until the N-T I've ordered arrives. Metavive IV is equivalent to 1 grain NDT. I haven't used it before, but Dr P said it would be OK to try.

Thanks trixie. I've ordered some metavive ii for tomorrow hopefully. I think I will need about 8 per day to be equivalent to 3 grains. I hope that it will work out OK.
