Unfortunately it does not exist here - to my knowledge, and not many doctors know of it. I have thyroid issues too and been unable to get this here. You can order it online but check with DHA if it is allowed to be brought in as they update their list of allowed supplements and medicine frequently. I was going to order it from a website in the UK but could not get them deliver here. I am on Syntroxine at the moment as it is a gel capsule and a touch better for me than Eltroxin or Levothyroxine. My personal belief of it not being available here is that it is derived from animals of a certain breed thus not allowed to be distributed. I might be wrong though...:thinking: http://www.thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/treatment/where_to_get_desiccated.html Thank you for your answer. Maybe they don't have it as it is derived from ***. But it is the only medicine that is natural.

I've been trying to find a doctor in Dubai who deals with patients taking T3 or NDT but I haven't found a good one. Currently seeing Dr. Donatella and I want to stop seeing her but first I need a new doctor that can help me. Any thoughts? I'm desperate!!!! Also, is anyone here on NDT? If so, where do you buy it online? ( I know they don't sell it in Dubai). Please, please, please, any help would be greatly appreciated

Firstly good news. Myself and another Ew lady are setting up a website/ forum for UAE thyroid sufferers. We hope to be live in next month or so. Will keep you posted. There are so many of us here suffering so hopefully we can all help each other. My dr is away on vacation but I will email with his details . Also one of the previous posters is absolutely correct. The role of .reverse t3 is actually so important and hardly ever taken into consideration. Through a lot of detective work I have found a lab here in Dubai that will test for .rt3. My dr is not an expert but he has an open mind, non judgemental and believes in NDT and the role of T3 and that is huge. He didn't know much about it when I went to him, but we worked with a functional medicine specialist in London and learned with each other along the way. He is fully supportive of my doing this website. The biggest issue we face here is that we have to source our own meds but it is well worth it in the long run. He will give you a script but he can't bring them in himself. The other thing that I can't stress enough is keep your iron intake up. So called normal values are not enough for us Right now I am a little out of balance and struggling with a few issues because my iron levels dropped while I was away for my daughters wedding. Look forward to connecting when we are up and running Hello Dubaidesertbear.... Would it be possible to know who is your doctor? I've been trying to find an open-minded doctor that works with T3/NDT but haven't been able to find one. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi, just wondering if anyone here with thyroid disease? I'm looking for a good gynecologist and endocrinologist in Dubai. If he/she is western educated, even better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

hi ..this is stylex1 .. i got my medication through the american postal service to dubai as my american husband is a US govt personnel here .. i much prefer ndt ..basic conversion is from levo to ndt ..a few months of adjustment then good to go .. Thanks for replying!!! Good to know that you get it through the US Postal Service. Do you fill your prescription online? The reason I ask is because I am about to go see my endocrinologist and tell her about NDT. If you can tell me which online page you get your medicine from so I can tell her so she can prescribe me the medicine (hopefully).
