Should I be on any medication?
Hi there - I was diagnosed with Hashimotos just over two years ago and have had my thyroid levels checked three times over the past two and a half years. My doctor keeps telling me that I'm fine but I'm wondering whether I should be on any medication? I'm taking a range of vitamins as I was low on Iodine

Cancerous tumour
I went for my post op yesterday, it’s now roughly 3 weeks since total thyroidectomy. The specialist told me they found a tumour ( cancerous) within the thyroid. I was so shocked I didn’t really hear much of what he said after that. He said a cancer support nurse will call me next week. Has anyone else

Help with results
Hi All After much persuasion my gp raised my Levothyroxine dose from 75mcg daily to 100mcg one day 75mcg the next. My TSH has tumbled, T4 near top of scale and T3 crept up a little bit. I still feel under medicated but gp doesn’t want to increase dose so I’m thinking of adding half a grain of privately

How do you deal with ignorant doctors?!
I take NDT and have for the past seven years. I was originally prescribed Armour, then Erfa, but switched to Thai NDT because of the prohibitive cost of prescription NDT. I find Thyroid-S to work much better than both Armour and Erfa at a fraction of the cost. The doctor who put me on NDT has no problems

Graves disease and a multi-nodular goitre: On low dose carbimazole, but now GP only testing for TSH annually?
Hi In April 2017 the endo consultant discharged me back to my GP (as I didn't want radioactive iodine treatment). As my Graves had recurred when I stopped carbimazole the previous year, the consultant said I needed to take carbimazole for life, with 3 monthly blood tests. Since then I have been on 5mg

Pregnancy and Iodine
Hey, Can anyone tell me whether the British Thyroid Foundation or Thyroid UK currently recommends prenatal vitamins containing iodine for those with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism? I’m aware that Levothyroxine naturally had iodine but is this enough for pregnancy requirements?

Iodine supplement
Hi all, I have recently had a blood test at my GPs which revealed that I have a slightly underactive thyroid: TSH level 5.922, T4 level 10.6. I know iodine is essential for thyroid function so I would like to know if iodine supplements would help, as I have been vegan for a couple of years and having

Significance of TSH
I was diagnosed in 03/17 with hyperthyroidism. I let symptoms go on for years and am paying the consequences. I developed a-fib, mitral valve regurgitation, congestive heart failure and severe osteoporosis. I think that my endocrinologist is good, but I usually see a nurse practitioner or physician's

Slow healing of skin/immune problems with under active thyroid
Hi not sure if anyone has issues with slow healing or reduced immune system ? My skin has sores on it and I recently had the punch biopsies to test for Dermatitis Herpetiformis /gluten rash .

Help with New blood results. Started with functional Doc and want to know your thoughts. Thanks
I am Male. I started going to a functional Doctor as I have gotten tired of dealing with GP's that will not look at anything else but TSH and getting nowhere with them. The blood results are all requested by my functional Doc. With the results she has put me on LDN 1.5mg. Switched from Synthroid
