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

why wouldn't the consultant order a scan of a goiter ( I have confirmed Graves Disease?)
I have a recently confirmed Graves Disease. And also a goiter. Anyone any insight please as to why the medics won't do a scan of the goiter? When I asked they said it's because the treatment plan is the same regardless in first instance - ie carbimazole - in hope that stops growth/ balances the

I think I’ve messed up!
Started to feel not so great. Was taking 2 grains of NDT and 25mcg T3( background RAI therapy around 10 yrs ago) I went to the doctors who took bloods. Results as detailed. I am not sure why my results are so low. I have been on the same dosage for a long time- blood results were always good! Has NDT

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

Vitamin supplements
I currently take evening primrose capsules and vitamin D tablets together late afternoon (primrose includes vitamin E). Is it better to separate these or to take with food? They both have added incipients. Should I be looking for natural vitamins instead? Also, I have purchased some Liposomal vitamin

High(ish) dose Carbimazole long term?

Wholefood Dessicated Thyroid Supplements
I was treated 25 yrs ago for overactive thyroid received RAI which made me hypothyroid and prescribed 100 mcg of thyroxine. I have never felt better with any brand or quantity of Levothyroxine and have given up with NHS doctors with regard to endocrinology. I have just completed reading a new book

lugols iodine
hi all, I’m starting a course of lugols iodine on Monday prior to a thyroidectomy. I’m quite gippy with things like that. Can anyone give me any tips, such as before or after food and also can you drink something sweet straight after to get rid of the taste. Thank you

iodine and thyroid
Beware supplements with iodine. I am a thyroid cancer survivor who had half of my thyroid removed and recently started taking a supplement that had seaweed in it. At my annual thyroid check up (just a few weeks after starting the supplement) my blood work and thyroid function had changed. My doctor

postpartum thyroiditis
Hi, I'm 8 months post partum and had my bloods done for hair thinning and some aches and pains, and my thyroid levels have come back abnormal. Although my t4 level is normal at 14 my tsh level is 10.6 which after Googling seems to be very high. I'm retesting as it's been a month to check if the levels
