Hi

I just moved here from america and was on armour thyroid. 90 now in uk they dont offer this and changed me to levo. Since then alot of my hair has fallen out. I feel ok on it with no side effects but my results came back from blood work really low and they are threatening to lower dosage. Im scared to death if they do that because i have no symptoms of taking too much. No heart palpitations and ive certainly not lost any weight instead ive gained weight im thinking that my thyroid is not converting to t3. Ive also got hashimoto disease. Do you know where i can get t3 on line? My weight is too high despite the fact i eat healthy exercise and never eat sweets or anything unhealthy. Before the hashimoto disease i was always skinny my whole life. Now im 150 pounds and feel like a whale. No natter how little i eat or how much I exercise. Please advise me. Thank you

As you know you're not likely to get Armour prescribed in the UK, did you not consider what Helvella suggested in reply to your first post on the forum

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

It is possible to buy Thai NDT, some people find that as good as Armour.

As we can't discuss suppliers on the open forum, I will close your post to replies and anyone that can help will reply by private message.
