ERFA Vs. Thyroid - S

Hello all. I would like to return on ndt or ndt + levo, I still don't know, I'll see. My body doesn't like synthetics, I've tried in every way. Last time I couldn't find ndt and I jumped back on levo and t3.

I'd like to find a ndt like nature-throid was. In the meantime, I've been getting some Thyroid-S but I thought I'd like to try ERFA, even though it hung hard on my pocket.

What do you think, is it worth a try ERFA or is there no difference from Thai ndt (thyroid - s)?

Hi, I'm the same. Can't get on with synthetic t3 at all. I've been well on Thyroid S & 25mcg t4. However, the latest batch of Thyroid S has not been too good. Although I feel OK on it, my hair has started to fall out again. In theory Thai ndt should be no different to others, but just recently the quality is not so good. I've transferred to Armour plus t4. It is really much more expensive that Thyroid S, but worth it to feel well. I have never tried ERFA, so cannot comment.

I think people with no Thyroid gland feel better with ndt.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

I've stuck to the same dose. But I have started the Armour slowly, as, it felt too strong to do a straight switch. I've done this over 2-3 weeks. I weigh 50kgs, & take 25mcg t4 & 1.5 grain ndt.

Thank you, very interesting. I'm very curious because my dose on thyroid - s was 3.5 gr, but I want to order erfa, let's see what happens. Maybe improve my weight(115kg & 1,85m). Thyroid - s has an slow release effect that's why you may have felt stronger Armour.

I did not know thyroid s has slow release effect. That's why I sleep well with thyroid s. Thank you. 😊
