Gotu Kola for brain health
I found an interesting article about this little known herb (at least I wasn't aware) that appears to help with memory. Maybe some of you have already tried it. If so, please share your experience. https://www.wellandgood.com/gotu-kola-benefits/

How to Change to NDT
Any advice as to the best way to transition from 119 mcg Levo to NDT, in a gentle way. I have no thyroid. For example do I stop the Levo one day and start NDT the next, and if so what dose, or do a reduced dose of both for a few days/weeks until acclimatised? How much NDT should I take, both at the

Where to get NDT
I'll keep this short. I have no thyroid. I'm on 119 mcg Levo and have just been on 2.5 - 5mcg Lio (I started low and slow), but stopped as I had random chest pains and feeling rubbish after a month or so on it. I'm now considering trying NDT as a replacement. Please PM me with any recommendations of

T3 equivalent of NDT
Hello A very clever person on here worked out the likely mcg of T3 & T4, contained in 3.5 grains of NDT from Thailand. Unfortunately I've mislaid the post. I'm seeing my endo on Wednesday and I want to understand why he put me on such low doses of Synthetic T3 & T4 for eight weeks. The new blood tests

Results after 14 weeks on Armour
Hello, so I've been on Armour for 14 weeks now and these are my current bloods: TSH - 0.007 T4 - 13.7 (12-22) T3 - 6.3 (3.3 - 6.8) My doctor (private specialist) said ideal bloods on Armour would be T4 12-14 and T3 5.5-6.5, and TSH would be suppressed. So going by that, it seems my bloods are pretty

half life T3 in NDT
I've read over a period of time that T3 has half-life of anywhere from 2-2.5 days. I have, always, assumed (bad thing!) that was for synthetic T3. Anyone know, if that time-frame is applicable to dessicated T3? My FT3 shot up from 2.7 in late Feb. to 3.85 2 weeks ago. I had increased dose from97.5

Giving levo another go...
Hi thyroid community, I have been diagnosed with 'sub clinical' hypothyroidism (due to autoimmune condition) in the last few years and my life has been shit ever since as I'm sure many can relate. I didn't get on very well with levothyroxine during my first trial, but I decided to persist giving it

Why does Levothyroxine cause weight gain if it treats hypothyroidism, weight gain being a hypo symptom?
Shouldn't it help rectify hypo symptoms not make them worse? This baffles me! I wish I could revert back to Levothyroxine and use it together with T3 as NDT is extortionately priced, and not working brilliantly for me anymore, however, weight gain is my biggest fear, and I read so much about this on

Should I be worried about suppressed TSH
I am extremely well and all my bloods seem within normal range to me (but not the GP)! I am 61 years old and was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroditis and Chronic Fatigue in 2004. My only health issue is very erratic sleep (one night 8 and a half hours, the next 4) which I handle by resting in the afternoon

Experiences of NDT v Levo and Lio
Hello again, I have been trialling NDT (2 grains since mid March 2024. I was previously on 75mcg Levo and 10mcg Lio (from NHS Endo) but still had symptoms. Both T4 and T3 levels are better on NDT yet I’m not feeling improvement. The private GP I saw increased my dose to 2.25 grains and I felt jittery

Why is my TSH so low when my T4 T3 are so low?
Hi all can some please explain why my TSH is low despite my T4 T3 being low. Correct me if i have got it wrong but i have come to understand that TSH is released by the pituitary gland to stimulate release of more thyroid hormones if levlels are too low. Since 1993 i dont have a thyroid so i am on

I want to give up. I have no energy to keep going.
Hi all, I've been suffering for the past many years. Since 2022 everything went downhill and I had to quit my job as I can't function. I'm 40 years old. I was tested for everything under the sun and everything is down to thyroid. I have Hashis. I have tried many med combos, everything fails on me. Recently

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
