Suddenly Hyperthyroid again
I had RAI in 2000 when I was severely hyper. I was put on 150mcgs and did well on that dose with no issues for 20 years. Went gluten free a few years ago. All of a sudden became severely hyper again with a TSH of 0.002 So they lowered me to 137mcgs. Still hyper with 0.09. During that time I had panic

OATMILK FORTIFIED WITH POTASSIUM IODIDE- OK TO TAKE?
I am reducing dairy intake and have been using oatmilk. However today I noted that it contains potassium iodide. Each 100mls contains 22ug . This is the only reasonably tasting milk substitute that I have been able to find and I have tried most of them! However I am concerned about the iodine content

TSH of 18.76 yet i'm told i'm on "appropriate medication"
Hi all, I know TSH isn't everything, however, I'm puzzled as to how the notes on my file after my NHS TFT last week say "on appropriate medication"! Just to recap, I had been taking 100mg levo daily for 6 weeks (having reduced from 125mg after being well over range for T4 and having symptoms). My private

What's an average thyroid gland size? How small is mine in comparison after RAI? Measurements are here.
I had RAI many years ago, and now take T3 with T4. I was interested to find out how much of my thyroid is left, and I wondered if it being smaller was the reason I now need the T3. So I had a private thyroid ultrasound done. It gives me measurements, but doesn't say how it compares with a 'normal' or

High TSH, High T4, Low T3 - advice please
Hi everyone, I posted on here around 6 weeks ago after feeling worse and worse and getting nowhere with my GP/Endo. I had RAI back in Feb 20 and since coming off block and replace (due to the reaction after RAI), I can’t say I’ve felt well for more than a couple of weeks at a time. I really started going

Reference Levels for TSH in Iodine-Sufficient Low-Risk Pregnant Women
Just don't be different! If TSH levels are, as stated, population specific because of differences in ethnicity, then we need a rather more significant changes than just making the top of the TSH reference interval a bit higher. I think it easy to imagine a clinic in the north of India. They pick up

Out of Sync - Hypo to Hyper. Need advise on results/vitamins please.
Hello all, Brief intro - am ‘induced’ hypo (2 radioactive iodine tests) to break down nodules. Been on thyroxine for 20+ years (fluctuate between 75mcg/100mcg daily) - currently Levo. Moved to Spain a few years ago but been complacent with tests (self medicating at 100mcg). Have been feeling a bit ‘edgy

C.T.Scan
I am due for a C.T.Scan, is it risky? I have no thyroid, am on 75mcg T4 and 15mcg T3. I know they inject dye which has iodine into you to do the scan, am I right in saying that you shouldn't have iodine if you have a thyroid problem or are on thyroid medication? I have been reading that the iodine can

Visit with endocrinologist this week... first after starting NDT
My endocrinologist has been in the process of changing to a new practice, so I haven't been in touch with him for a couple of months. I had full labs drawn a couple of weeks ago, and I'll be seeing him this week for the first time at his new practice. Before he moved, I was on 50 mcg of levothyroxine

Can thyroid cause red palms?
I never had bright red palms but kinda pink/ red my whole life. I had thyroid iodine last year to kill my thyroid and since have had red palms. My levels are normal with meds but I still have done mild symptoms. My endocrinologist doesn’t think thyroid though.

Non-surgical management of thyroid nodules - the role of ablative therapies
Many here have asked about alternatives to surgery and radioactive iodine - and in some cases, there might be some. This paper seems to be supporting two specific options. Have to say, the phrase "treatments of choice" sticks in my throat. Possibly they have been better than the depressingly bad alternative

Hello all and happy holidays.
