Hi All -
I've been following advice on supplements and timing of tests but NHS has problems with results and need advice as what to do - I take Armour NDT with Levo. Haven't had a conversation with them about it, changing practices and moving back to the states for a period of time but will be back in UK eventually. I will want to go private when I come back if there is no shift with NHS T3 policy. But what do I do when changing practices?
NHS wasn't happy with B12 or TSH. Tried altering Thyroid meds but affects joints so trying to please them hopeless. T3 has always helped Achilles tendons.
Latest results T3 dropping and feeling more tired etc on lower dose - don't like being over medicated but need a tweak more but don't know if add T3 or more NDT.
Thank you if you have patience for this!
Basically dance of TSH
