Raider of lost Thyroid by Erfa

Hello everyone! Happy to be here! I am in need for the last 4 years now.., of Thyroid by Erfa. I started taking it, 7 years ago after visiting a Belgian specialist doctor for several hormonal imbalances. And then i stopped it because i was feeling better. But the last years every winter i froze literally, my hair falls alarmingly, i feel awful but the thyroid "tests" in Greece are ok. 😡 In addition to that reality, the miracle pill of desiccated thyroid, does not exist here. I asked a lot of people from UK or USA to get me some, but they can't. So now i am thinking to buy a synthetic similar product. Any ideas? Thank you

Are you stating that you are hypothyroid and stopped taking thyroid hormones altogether or just Erfa?

It would be helpful if you could add some of your thyroid history into your Profile so that members can look at it if necessary without you being asked similar questions.

"O.K. thyroid tests are not o.k if we have clinical symptoms. Do you have a print-out of your results with the ranges and did you have the blood test at the very earliest fasting (you can drink water) and allow a gap of 24 hours between last dose of thyroid hormones and the test and take them afterwards.

The aim is a TSH of around 1, with FT4 and FT3 in the upper part of the ranges.

My health history is a bit complicated because of bone marrow transplant for leukaemia at my 20s, but the point is that i had acute menopause symptoms in my early 40s that no doctor i visited in my country was able to help me and thats why i flew to Brussels for help. One of the many drugs they gave me that time was Thyroid by Erfa. It was really helpful! I felt warm, energised and soon i was back to normal. Oh i forgot to mention that in Greece all the thyroid tests was perfect, sorry but now i don't have time to search them, and also my weight was very low. 47 kilos for 1.65 cm height. But... after 3 years the Belgian pharmacy stopped to send me the Thyroid because the law there changed and it was forbidden, something like that! So the only way to get it for me it was to fly again there..

Not so easy when you are always drained, fogged or worrying about the cost of the trip all together..

Maybe if you put up a fresh post a member may be able to give you a source for Erfa which can be sent to you through the post. Would any NDT suit? - I suppose you wouldn't know that until you tried it.

Hello, I don‘t know if that helps, but you can get NDT from Klösterlapotheke in Munich, or from Weltapotheke in Vienna. You need a doctor’s prescription which you will have to send by post, but can contact them per mail. Details on their website.
