What is the prognosis for someone with Graves’ disease?
Hi All, I have some questions about the prognosis for someone with Graves’ disease. How would Graves’ disease likely progress if solely treated using anti-thyroid medication such as Carbimazole? This is the route I am taking. I know it’s an autoimmune disease so there will be flareups and periods

Graves disease and RAI
Hi I was diagnosed with Graves disease 16 months ago. I have been on carbimazole on reducing doses and T levels were almost normal but then went up. So I am now on 15mg per day. They asked me to think about radio active iodine. I am very unsure about this. From the little I have read it can make your

Looming Endo Appointment
I had RAI in 1998 and been on Levo since 1999. Last time I saw an endocrinologist was in 99.

CT Thorax scan with iodine contrast
Hi does anyone know if it’s safe to have an iodine contrast for a CT thorax scan with Hashimotos, I’m confused if it’s good or bad with Hashimotos as I’m worried it might make my heart race. My lastest blood test results from the NHS are TSH - 0.07 (0.30 - 5.00) and T4 - 11.1 (11.5 - 22.70) and cortisol

Comments On Blood Test Results Please
I don't post very often but I read a lot on here, and after having a Blue Horizon full thyroid blood test, I would be interested in the thoughts of anyone on what came out of it. I had radioactive iodine some years ago and am on levothyroxine (100mg). My results from the GP always come back as 'normal

Bizarre Thyroid Quote from 1941
We regularly despair at science and medicine seemingly missing so much about thyroid physiology and processes. However, every so often, we see something so extraordinarily odd and bizarre, we actually seem to have made huge progress. This starts fairly sensibly. Then goes downhill. Fast. And remember

From darkness into light and almost all the way back again
I went mad in 2016. Nothing was too crazy for me. I even considered driving off a cliff. The madness was accompanied by paranoia and doubt which got very dark indeed. After several, desperate visits to my GP (who tried in vain to help) a visiting locum took one look at me and having familiarised himself
