Advice please

prescription was delayed and had to reduce my usual 4 grains of NDT( Nature Throid) to make it last but still ended up with two days of no medication. When NDT arrived started again at 4 grains but symptoms are not improving and hair getting very thin, skin spotty etc; feels like going back to square one. Even before NDT ran out I felt that symptoms were returning and but it down to very stressful time with family members/work/ NHS GP practice etc. But now I am not sure.Should I have started dose at the beginning with one and a half grains instead of going straight back to 4 grains? NHS GP not helpful and prescribing ( private) GP has 'communication issues.' Any helpful advice would be appreciated. No even sure that Nature Throid is working.......

Hi,

I found the new nature throid doesnt work for me(i realised at half of bottle something is wrong; symptoms were cripling back ).I am taking 3 grains of nature throid daily; i have started to take ashwagandha and drink tulsi tea , daily to help a bit; also vitamin(D3, B12, magnezium).I will go to do blood tests tomorrow..Iam very curious about results.

Hi Micky

Thank you for replying.

I too am waiting for result from recent blood test. Last test showed high TSH and low T4/T3. If the results are the same and/or THS has increased, I imagine the Naturethroid is at fault. After doing a bit of research , my understanding is that the company producing the NDT may have changed the formula....

Makes one wonder if Hypothyroid patients are part of a huge medical experiment.

I am taking vitamins that were recommended and follow a strict gluten free diet. I felt a lot better at the start of taking NDT and really hoped that this would be a turn around because all the symptoms improved,but now I am back at square one and wonder what next?

Wishing you well.
