Amour thyroid

[Sizzles22]

hi everyone

I have been on levothyroxine for 30 years. Never had anything positive to report. Now being prescribed amour.

It’s very expensive. Any advice on where to buy it and is it good if T3 is indistinguishable!

thanks

It's not just about your blood levels, but post your test results before and after starting Armour. Say what dose of Armour you're taking and how you feel compared to being on levo.

Can you please share your thyroid blood test results with us Sizzles22. Members can better advise if you tell us about your symptoms, current thyroid medication and dosage plus any blood test results:

TSH

FT3

FT4

Plus any antibody tests

Have you tested key thyroid vitamins (ferritin, folate, B12 and Vit D)? Having these optimal supports thyroid health, but please don’t supplement before testing levels first.

It's a prescription only item so you'll need to ring around to compare prices. ThyroidUK have a list of pharmacies who will dispense NDT, check out this page:

is it good if T3 is indistinguishable!

It suits some people but it has a fixed ratio of T3 toT4. This ratio doesn't suit everyone so some do better on Levo plus separate T3 so they can tweak amounts of both to get the perfect combination.

What do you mean by 'indistinguishable'?

[Baggiebod]

I have Levothyroxine resistant Hypothyroidism. I'm on NDT now on prescription from the NHS Endocrinologist. Feel much better now and highly recommend that you try it. I've heard there's reasonably priced sources but as I get mine from the Hospital I haven't got any experience of buying it.

thanks very much ! I will see if I can get it on the NHS as it’s so expensive
