Advice please - Is this potential dose increase a bad idea?
Just wanted to ask for opinions and wisdom regarding my NDT dose. Never had thyroid treatment before, and just got prescribed 50mg NDT as a trial by my doctor. Being super cautious, I decided to start at 1/4 of that dose (12.5mg) per day, then build up by another 1/4 each week until I hit the prescribed

Here are my blood test results as promised…..
I’d be really grateful if you could take a look at my test results below and let me know what you think please. Since having the left side of my thyroid removed in February 23 because of a suspiciously large nodule, my blood tests had showed lower than optimum levels and so I was started on Levothyroxine

Ndt and iodine supplement?
Hello everyone! I started treatment with NDT in t4 6 micrograms and t3 1.4 in December 2023. I tolerate it well and I'm happy about it! From my analysis done this month it turns out that my ft4 is 0.98 and ft3 is 2.69 and the tsh is 1.34... How do you find these analyses? My endocrinologist wants to

hi everyone! I am writing because I wanted to see if anybody had similar experiences. I am four months post total thyroidectomy, and in the first month or so I didn’t really feel many or any symptoms. Now in the past two months, I feel like I am feeling more symptoms of hypothyroidism than I did, in

An Enlightening Endocrine Adventure
After appeasing an endocrinologist worried about my suppressed TSH by a cunning lab trick -- withholding NDT for three days before going for the blood work -- I realized I needed to titrate up the dose. Many thanks to those who replied with their NDT experience. I cranked it up to nearly double what

NDT woop woop
Back on thyroid-s thanks to this blog. 180mcg at bedtime as knowledgable NZ medic prescribed 12 yrs ago & said to never change!!! Only problem thus far is peeing up to 3x at night - thought 2 months of M stuf had cleared my system of any excess but no, thrilled it’s liquid not alternate. Everything

Last time i had my transferrin saturation index done it was 40% so bang on mid way. January I think it was. It’s now dropped to19%

Thyroid causing problems?
I have an underactive thyroid-diagnosed 2018. recently I have been experiencing bad anxiety and depression (also diagnosed for many years). Had anti depressants upped a couple of months ago but notice no difference. Just noticed t3 and t4 haven’t been tested since 2021. Do GPs just tend to check TSH

NDT UK
Can anyone advise where I can get NDT in UK? I was taking Thiroid by Nature Pharma which worked well for me, but they stopped making it a few years back. I got as batch of Thyroid-S (4 x 500) which does not agree with me as well but still way better than Levo. My supplies are running low and I am struggling

Cortisol tests
Hi, I just had my cortisol retested to see if there had been any improvement from February 2023. Since August 2023, I have been slowly titrating NDT Armour and taking vitamins, minerals and amino acids prescribed by a private thyroid Dr. My iron & B12 are good, working on increasing vit D. I'm still

Trying to interpret my results
Hi I was wondering if I could ask some advice regarding my latest results. I've just had bloods done so anticipating the usual conversation with my GP about my TSH being too low.... I've screen shot my results since 2015 basically as I've been tracking them as my TSH rarely changes, even with a reduction

How quickly does TSH increase when you stop taking NDT?
I buy some of my NDT without a script, I take 120mg per day. My GP prescribes me 90mg a day. So I get the rest elsewhere. My GP doesn’t understand that TSH is suppressed on NDT, and I’m not going to be successful in educating him. My TSH was 0.01 on 150mg, but I reduced to 120mg about 5 or 6 weeks ago

Trial of eConsult service
My GP practice has recently launched the eConsult service where it said I could get the results of tests etc, so I tried it. I asked for the results from a recent blood test, and gave the date and time. The one that was supposed to be just vitamins. I had one email back saying the request would be

Shytomel duo
Hi guys has anyone heard of or used Shytomel NDT? I'm currently on Armour buy it's very expensive and looking fir an alternative. I have previously tried Thyroid S but I'd get bad palpitations on it when I'd need to increase the dose. The best that ever worked was TR Man but unfortunately they stopped

HRT, low white blood cell count & NDT
I have been having appointments with my GP to try and get an HRT prescription. She wanted a blood test doing first - I have been taking NDT for about 8 years (doing really well on it) and basically my GP didn't understand it, stopped calling me in for blood tests and I haven't been for years.
