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

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

Is it necessary to start treatment with L-thyroxin 50 μg ?

Hi, I'm new to this community and hope to get some advice. While looking into fertility treatment last Sept. I was told that I had elevated TPO antibodies 23.5 IU/ml (normal: <5.6) but TSH was normal at 1.87mIU/l (normal:0.27-4.20). Then I fell pregnant naurally in January and got my doctor to check

Looking for T2 & Thyroid granulars to supplement my meds.

Been watching Dr Westin Childs on YouTube for a couple of years now and I think he is great, from what I have learned since being in here and watching him has helped me a lot!! Now he recommends a combination of medications as to get a ‘full range’ of Thyroid ‘Goodness’ for the want of another term …

Can iodine affect thyroid medication test result numbers?

Hi all few days ago I was prescribed a medication for atrial fibrillation, namely Amiodarone. It's contains iodine and if I had a thyroid which I don't my thyroid would have to be monitored regularly on this medication.So by having no thyroid I do not need to have regular thyroid checks. But I was wondering

Overactive thyroid? Does reducing iodine intake in your diet help? It has for me so far.

I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid / Graves Disease in 2015. Between 2016 and 2021 I was on "block & replace" treatment - 40mg of carbimazole daily along with 150mcg of levothyroxine. My thyroid had stabilised by 2021, after which point I was taken off all medication. I relapsed with an overactive
