I’ve been on Dessicated thyroid for a few years now and my numbers have been good! In the past tried Synthroid but it made me feel awful.

ratoncita, how did you get dessicated thyroid in the UK? I was on it while living in the US, but I have not convinced a doctor in the UK to prescribe it. I felt so much better while on it.

If anyone mentions Synthroid, there are unlikely to be in the UK.

If you want to ask about desiccated thyroid (e.g. for yourself) please write a brand new post and ask.
