Content: Now I'm using thyroid S and have lost half a stone this year. Fingers x-ed this slow weight loss is going to continue. If I can reach a lower, plateau a stone or so lower I might try dieting again. The killer is trying to keep weight off, of course. I'm not recommending thyroid S - each one of us has a different reaction to the different meds available, as this site demonstrates in Spades. But finally I seem to have found something that works for me. sootybaby in reply to Hidden 7 years ago

Your poor son! That must be such a worry for you all. Thyroid S is natural dessicated thyroid hormone (shorthand around the site is NDT). Doctors don't like to prescribe it.
