Not so good on Levo and T3 - help source Thai dessicated thyroid ?

PM on this one if you can help please thank you.

Background: Hashimoto's for 5 years + Menopause started same year (on Evorel Conti patch)

Was on Thai desiccated porcine thyroid but with Covid that supply went.

Since then been back on Levothyroxine 75mcg (recent bloods show satisfactory dose) with 25mcg T3 (Tiromel). I titrated slowly to that level.

Despite GP telling me my bloods show satisfactory levels, I am now piling on the weight - 6 kg in less than 1 year despite cutting sugar and eating sensibly.

I have a pot belly bulging from beneath my bra line as though I am 7 months pregnant.

I am embarrassed to be seen naked by my husband who loves me dearly and reassures me nothing is different with me. I cover up in my nightie at bedtime and daytime I wear baggy tops.

I often wake up middle of the night and struggle to sleep again. When I am up, it takes me till lunch time to be myself. Working a high powered job makes this very difficult.

When I was on Thai NDT I maintained my weight and felt loads better even though my blood results were not always what my GP felt was normal/satisfactory.

Can someone please PM with a reliable Thai NDT (grains).

Bless you. 🙏

Scammers are joining the forum on a very regular basis and messaging members with their assertions that they have successfully purchased xyz medication from zyx source.

First, check the profile of the member that sent you the message. Are they a long term member with an active forum posting history? Or are they a recently

Once you have what you think may be a genuine recommendation, please message a forum admin to ask whether the admin team have any feedback on the source you've been given.

Admins are not allowed to recommend sources, but we can tell you what, if any, feedback we've received about the source you've been given.

⚠️ Don't part with your much needed money until you are as sure as you can be that the source is genuine.

Scammers often join the forum and post a 'fake' story about their thyroid journey, that includes mention of self sourcing their thyroid meds. This is to encourage members to ask them where they purchase their medication without prescription.
