Is Long-Term Antithyroid Use the Best Treatment for Graves Disease?
This is a three-way chat among endos about long-term treatment of Graves using methimazole (effectively the same as carbimazole). Interesting the way they say that the 18 to 24 month "standard" period of treatment was based on assumption. That true long-term treatment (five, maybe ten, years) is quite

Full panel and limited panel test results
I have my results back after highlighting my decision to do so on here a few weeks back. I took two panels of tests from different providers: Blue Horizon (test - Premium Gold) and Monitor My Health (MMH), both taken from the same single blood draw at my GP's surgery. Blue Horizon tested the same as

Salivary Glands Swollen 6 Months Post RAI
Hi everyone and thanks for reading! I had RAI treatment in October of 2021. My dose was 100 mci. I immediately had swollen and painful salivary glands which subsided in a day or two. I have had no issues with them until the beginning of June. Now, they constantly swell when eating. Some days are worse

Updated Thyroid levels and new Vitamin readings
Hi, I recently posted as a Newbie (under the name Sailorbo, which I've now discontinued as I had a previous registration with the BHF). As a quick recap, had a full Thyroidectomy last September due to Papillary Cancer. I'm not having Radioactive Iodine as I already have poor saliva and it might make

Statins and underactive thyroid
I've had an underactive thyroid after radioactive iodine treatment 20+ years ago. After a recent health check - no thyroid results - but cholesterol results are 'a cause for concern'. I'm seeing the nurse next week when I expect statins will be suggested. The results are Cholesterol 6.1mmol/l

Iodine contrast for a CT scan with Hashimoto's and reduced T3/T4 after ruptured ovarian cyst
Good afternoon! This morning I attended a hospital appointment for a CT scan to investigate the cause of my tinnitus. I didn't realise until today that I would need to be given an iodine contrast, which was administered during the scan via a cannula. Since having this done I have started to become concerned

GP not really understanding
I had RAI around 5 years ago for Graves disease which I have had since 1991, RAI was considered the best option as I had relapsed 3 times and can't take Carbimozole. When I was controlled by propylthiouracil my TSH was kept around 0.8 and T4 around 20. It took two years post RAI for me to feel any

Family planning and treatment options (Graves)
I am planning on trying to get pregnant in the next year or so. I don't know if I should have permeant treatment (Radioactive Iodine (RAI) or surgery) or stick to ATD (antithyroid drugs) before hand. Hospital doctor/nurse have given me a standard RAI leaflet and explained some of the pros and cons

How long has it take RAI to work for you?
Hi All, My hyper battle has been ongoing for 4 years. First time it settled quicky with Carbimazole and relapsed after stopping, I have now been on Carbimazole for over 3 years, with the only break being for my RAI treatment. So my RAI treatment was 10th May and I restarted Carbimazole 20mg a day

Advice please re removal of mercury fillings and detoxing
I had most of my amalgam fillings removed about 20 years ago to try to help relieve migraines, but for some reason there are a couple left. I had a blood test for heavy metals and mercury was found, so I have been advised to have the remaining amalgam removed biologically to try to lessen hypo symptoms

Ongoing fatigue following thyroidectomy due to cancer
In 2019 I had a full thyroidectomy and RAI treatment due to cancer. Since then I have had problems with fatigue, which I understand is not unusual after this type of treatment.
