RE: Re: Advice needed on taking/buying NDT

[Guest guest]

Go to our FILES SECTION here under 'Hypothyroidism' and on the

page that opens, scroll down to 'Pure Compounded Thyroxine and Tertroxin'. You

can ask your GP to prescribe this which is available from dale's

Pharmaceuticals. Some of our members do well on this as it has no fillers, just

the thyroxine in gel capsules. Also, I believe that Boots do a liquid form of

pure thyroxine too thyroid treatment/files/HYPOTHYROIDISM/

I was just going through the archived messages

here to see if anyone else was on latose free thyroid meds, and found that

another member of this group - - takes an NDT from Thailand, called

Thiroyd [sic] and this is supposed to be lactose free.

You can read about 's experiences with Thiroyd here: thyroid treatment/message/81712

And buy it here: http://www.1drugstore-online.com/showprice.asp?name=thiroyd & bysearch=ok

as you can see, it is cheaper than other NDT brands, and you can get 120 x1

grain tablets for $21 US (if you wanted to try it) so you'd not have to shell

out a 100$ US for something that possibly didn't help you.

Cat, you might want to telephone the laboratory and give them

your name and address and your previous doctor and tell them roughly when you

had your last thyroid function tests done, and tell them your results have been

lost and would they please let you have these results, together with the

reference range for each of the tests that had been done. A doctor cannot

withhold anything that is in your medical records under the Data Protection Act

1998 and this goes for any other medical staff too, such as laboratory

technicians.

I can't give you my results because I was never given them and when I asked was

told that they didn't have them (I changed doctors fairly recently and my

previous blood results have all dissappeared, not saying my last doctors were

hiding anything but.....!) New doctors are just as bad, since I've been with

them they have yet to take any new bloods even though I have mentioned it

twice!

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER accept a doctor telling you that any of your

blood tests were " normal " . Fact is, doctors don't know how to read

blood test results, or at least, most of them do not, as we have come to learn

through experience. They tell you that the results are " normal " if

they appear ANYWHERE within the reference range, We need to know whether they

are at the bottom, the middle or the top of the range, or even outside of the

range. Write a little note to your surgery and ask for all the blood tests you

want, and ask that these be given with the reference range for each test done.

No hospital or medical staff can withhold any of the information in your

medical notes, as these belong to you under The Data Protection Act 1998. If

they refuse to let you have them, then quote the DPA to them - they will soon

release them.

NHS adrenal tests, I had the standard (useless) one, then the one where they

inject you with that steroid beginning with c that I can't remember with the 3

1/2 hourly blood tests, no idea what the results were I just got told

" normal " . My B12 has been checked a few times and again is

" normal " ....I really hate that word!

I can't get copies of any of my results, they are all lost.

Hi,I'm also Lactose intolerant.I got seen by a specialist at a NHS hospital and he confirmed this in writing to my GP. My GP and Pharmacy have to give me lactose free medicines now. I have been taking lactose free thyroxine and T3 for 2 years now without any issues. They are L-thyroxin Henning made by Sanofi Aventis which is the T4 and Thybon made by Sanofi Aventis which is the T3.Hope this helps all lactose intolerant hypothyroid suffers to get free meds on the NHS.supercoolioFrom: catinthewillow <catinthewillow@...>thyroid treatment Sent: Saturday, 12 November 2011, 21:37Subject: Re: Advice needed on taking/buying NDT

Just to say that I take Thiroyd from Thailand (as recommended by ) too and am doing well on it - had no problems with postage - it arrives quite quickly and no extra charges! It does seem to be one of the cheapest NDTs and it works.

Lets hope that after us all saying no charges we dont get caught with them next time!

Hi, I get Thiroyd from Thailand and can thoroughly recommend it. I received 500 x 1grain a couple of weeks ago costing approx £52 and they didn't get caught in customs. None of my orders from them have ever been caught in customs also because they don't put the value on the package. Delivery time is good too and I'm doing fine on Thiroyd and they dissolve nicely under the tongue meaning I can take them when I like. All the best....> I was just going through the archived messages here to see if anyone else was on latose free thyroid meds, and found that another member of this group - - takes an NDT
