High TSH (which keeps rising over the years) and consistently high T4 for 7 years with no major symptoms.
Hi, Over the last 7 years, my TSH has kept rising from around 5.88 and now it is at 11.9. My T4 has stayed consistently high at between 19 and 20 throughout this time. My antibodies test are normal with nearly non-existent antibodies and my T3 was normal in the middle of the range. All my other blood

upping meds in pregnancy plus vitimins.
I went to my GP in very early pregnancy (4.5-5weeks) as had cramping and spotting, and also arranged bloods, as I knew I should be monitored as high risk with hashis/hypo.

NAC and Thyroid Antibodies
Currently hypothyroid, high TgAB, TPO and TSI normal. Am on 600mcg of levothyroxine across the week. Has anyone had success in reducing thyroid antibodies by taking NAC? What other supplements do you take to support thyroid health besides vit D, iron, B12, Folate? These are already under control

What to eat?
Before I was diagnosed with thyroiditis and hyper phase I would eat fish three times a week. I've stopped as cos is very high in iodine.....was I right to do so as I didn't get any advice from GP about diet.

types of salts and iodine
Edit: thank for all the responses. It looks like when the salt is iodised, it would be stated on the packaging. Himalayan, Celtic and sea salt contain iodine naturally whereas rock salt doesn’t. I use Bart’s rock salt and they confirmed it’s non iodised. hi, I Have Graves so should avoid iodine. Does

Question for thyroidectomized patients: iodine processing issues?`
Hi, it seems to me that if I eat a bit too much seafood, I see some adverse issues. I do not have a thyroid, and wonder - since the thyroid is by far the organ with the highest need for iodine... how does iodine get processed in the body of someone who does not have a thyroid? If you also lack a thyroid

Results of blood test
Hi, after OH had high Tsh Levels a couple of weeks a go (radioactive iodine 14 tears a go) gp prescribed higher dose of thyroxine - now 175Results from medicheck above Low vit d - would this affect the thyroxine absorption? If he sorts that would it then be sensible to reduce the thyroxine back down

Tapioca in gluten free products/reduces iodine absorption?
Hi I’ve just discovered, in a roundabout way, that tapioca can affect iodine absorption,so not advised for those with thyroid issues. I don’t know scientifically about this, just thought I’d mention on here. I have a type 1 latex allergy, have been on a gluten free diet to improve thyroid, but noticed

🤷🏻♀️ Sudden jump up in T4
Morning all 😉 I have Hashimoto’s and have had radio active iodine treatment over 16 years ago so have been on Levothyroxine since. I’m familiar with all the testing and get regularly tested by my GP. I also private test occasionally to check my T3 as my local area do not test that on the NHS. I

ERFA with added iodine
Hiya.I have recently sourced a batch of ERFA via a private pharmacy, but after reading the fine print on the bottle, I have noticed it also contains 0.2 % of iodine. I thought this would be counterproductive, as iodine supplementation is not recommended with hypothyroidism? I am now concerned about
