Help needed to convince prescriber to prescribe the amount of NDT I need.
My prescriber said she is not willing to prescribe the amount of NDT I need because she thinks I'm over-medicated. She says over treatment is associated with significant cardiac and skeletal risk in the long term. Also, she said she suspects that my symptoms are not entirely to do with my thyroid.

Please help me figure my new results out.
Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing as well as can be expected under the current circumstances. I used to feel fine on my 60 mg of Armour Thyroid (NDT), but these last few weeks I have been feeling pretty awful and exhausted a lot, no energy, can't be bothered with my work. My iron is very low, (I'm

Issues getting NDT
Hi everyone! I know a lot of us have been having issues obtaining NDT as I think manufacture has stopped due to Corona? I know we cannot directly reply on this forum to say if we know of any places we can get it but it would be great if we could have a conversation about it. Is everyone else finding

T3 and talc
Hi, I've recently had an issue with a generic liothyronine here in the US, which is manufactured by a subsidiary of Pfizer. It felt like I was taking nothing. Today, I transferred the prescription to a different location to get another generic by Sigmapharm. I notice Sigmapharm does not put Talc in

Help needed please. TSH results on trial of NDT....!!
Without going into too much detail, have been on trial of NDT for four weeks. Multi dosed over this time and got dose to 1 an 1/2 grain. Four weeks is not the correct time for thyroid blood test but unfortunately I was admitted to A+E couple of days ago, due to irregular heart rate, highest peak at

Trying to find T3 online, please DM if you can help me :)
Hi I'm Helen from Australia and have run out of the T3 supply I had found. I'm hoping someone can help me and direct message me with info. I was identified with Hypothyroidism 11 years ago and am currently taking Natural Thyroid Extract. My GP prescribes this for me but not T3. I was on Generic Thyroxine

Should have the truth about the Thai NDT situation by the 7th of November.
The CPhI South East Asia is on in Thailand from the 4th to 6th of November and a friend of mine has told me he's going so I've asked him to visit the stands of the three big NDT producers ( assuming they are there ) along with a translator to find out exactly what's going on and the official msrps of

Losing hope - feeling unwell for so long!
I'm turning to you lovely people once again for support as I am really unwell again. In this whole journey I only felt completely well (apart from some fibromyalgia symptoms) for about 2 weeks and this was in September. I am so disappointed that I am unwell again and everything I've done since hasn't

Switch from NDT to T3 or T4/T3
Hi all, I have been on NDT for a few years now - mainly on Thyroid S (then Nature Thyroid). I felt brilliant on Thyroid S, and not as good but ok on Nature Thyroid. However, with neither of these currently available, I have had to switch NDT brands and I am seeing a return of bad thyroid symptoms. Due

Could T3 be the cause of my shakes?
Over a year ago I was given T4/T3 treatment. The start of the treatment coincided with a very difficult and stressful period. At first I was put on 10mcg t3 which was then increased to 20mcg in addition to my levo, following further blood tests. I think it may have been at this point that I developed

What to ask for on NDT prescription?
Hi All, Would it be possible to get clarification on what to ask GP to write if a prescription for NDT were to be granted? I can only find forum posts from 4 years ago about whether it’s still worth shot to try and get on NHS; does this still happen for anyone? I live in the South, near Portsmouth. I

Simple advice needed please :)
Hi Some of you might remember talking to/advising me in the past. I have recently discovered I most likely have Hyperparathyroidism. All the blood and urine tests confirm it. Just waiting for a referral and imaging. In the background, I am dealing with the impact I think it has on my hypothyroidism.

T3 source please
I hope someone is able to private message me with a reliable source of T3 please. I am currently struggling with bovine ndt although well on porcine ndt for many years. I am going to try adding T3 as this is very low on current bloods and also feeling pretty grim. Fingers crossed someone can

Reducing the dose
Hello lovely people. I am continuing downwards from 60mg. Currently just reduced to 8.5 from 9. I have two possible side effects I am wondering about - the bad is the return of pelvic pain and slight difficulty getting out of bed because of it. It isn't too bad at the moment just reminds me of the

NDT and T3 use given support by US workers
This publication just out in Thyroid journal discusses using NDT (DTE) and T3 in suitable circumstances. It is I believe the opening of the door that has closed against NDT and T3 use, and in the future should encourage properly designed trials. They acknowledge the existence of a subset of patients
