An Unusual False-Positive Uptake of Radioiodine Caused by Breast Implants
Posting this simply to let everyone know! If the issue applies, make sure you discuss properly with anyone who wants to give you radioactive iodine. I suspect it will be at the obscure end of the scale. [i]Clin Nucl Med. 2022 Mar 30. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000004165. Online ahead of print.

Unsuitable for radiofrequency ablation for thyroid nodule
Hi everyone. I posted a couple of months ago about my endocrinologist referring me for radioactive iodine treatment for toxic nodule and what they deem subclinical hyperthyroidism. Your insights and knowledge were invaluable at that time, so thank you. Well I held off on having RAI and did a lot more

Iodine deficiency in pregnancy along a concentration gradient is associated with increased severity of preeclampsia in rural Eastern Cape
I'm sure everyone who has ever been involved with pregnancy has heard about the dreaded pre-eclampsia. Just the thing to get midwives (and mothers-to-be) worrying. Would be rather excellent if this paper represents a significant step towards understand the issue. [i]2022 Feb 4;22(1):98. doi: 10.1186

Vitamin d causing tinnitus
Hi all, Bit of a long story but here it goes. I started suffering with tinnitus after I had radio active iodine therapy to ablate my thyroid due to graves disease. I eventually linked it to taking vitamin d, stopped taking it and the tinnitus stopped. I unfortunately have low vitamin D so struggle

Thyroidectomy or Radioactive Iodine Treatment?
I am hyperthyroid through a multi nodular goitre. I was on Carbimazole for 18 mths and taken off to see whether it had sorted itself out. On my fourth quarter check after stopping my TSH has fallen and T3&T4 both gone over the top of the range, GP says primary hyperthyroid again. I ask the above question

Confused with TFT results when taking T3
Hi all, It's been a good couple of months since I last posted as I've been patiently waiting to do my next TFT. I'm confused as to why my TSH is still high when I'm taking T3 and i'm not sure what to do next? I thought T3 suppressed TSH levels?? I feel a lot better than I did back in Dec/Jan mood wise

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone's been in a similar situation that can share some advice I have a nodule on my thyroid that's 3.6cm, I've had FNA and all came back OK but since had an iodine uptake scan and it showed the nodule is hot and effectively has caused the healthy part of my thyroid to switch

Sore neck, hard to swallow..
Anyone ever have a sore neck, difficulty swallowing when adjusting levothyroxine dose? I've had RAI 20+ years ago. But since I've needed such a random dose adjustment after sudden overmedication. My neck where my gland would be has become sore. Hard to swallow but when you push on it, it's sore. Just

Iodine Testing
Hi Can anyone recommend an Iodine test? I have read that a 24 hour loading test is the best and to also test for Bromide and Flouride as they can block absorption but I'm not sure where to get this done. Many thanks!

Iodized or non iodized salt in hypothyroid ?
Which one should we use? In USA we get enough iodine from our food. Recently I saw a non-iodized Salt and purchased it thinking that people with thyroid should avoid iodine. Your thoughts please!

How to reverse high antibodies?
Hi, I an unsure whether I can share my experience and what I am allowed to say. However, I went to a naturopath for 8 month and my antibodies went through the roof under his care. I had Hashi antibodies but only 50 before I started this journey. I am trying to get an appointment with a qualified endocrinologist
