Hi from a chilly England. I have been paying privately for NDT (2.5 grains daily) for some time now. For the briefest moment I was prescribed Armour NDT but the regulators prevented my GP from continuing this so as all they would offer me was T4, I paid privately for NDT for a decade. My finances have taken a really bad turn and I can no longer afford to do this and wonder if anyone can help me work out a dose of T3 (Liothyrine) that I can ask to be prescribed for me on a UK NHS prescription that would equate to the 2.5 grains of NDT that has kept me so well? Do I have to take T4 as well and if so, what ratio?
Many thanks 😊

I would say you would be lucky to find a GP who will prescribe T3 and it would be very rare for them to prescribe T3 alone.
I can PM you where I get my NDT if you like. It works out roughly at 30p a pill, so would be just over £1 a day. I am on the old pension, so dirt poor, but consider this a necessity.
Hi, what a nightmare I am having! I paid €150 plus fees to a company in Montenegro for some NDT tablets but am beginning to think I have been scammed. Royal Mail say an item only weighing 10g (a typical letter) arrived at Heathrow and us now stuck at a delivery office some 200 miles from my home (letter with deliberate false address on it springs to mind) either way, I run out of NDT in just under 2 weeks and am panicking now - especially with Easter upon us.
If you can send me a private message with details of your supplier, I would now be very grateful. Like you, I am as poor as a church mouse so this is a huge blow to me!
