Not Sure What I Should Do
I've been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and I currently take Levothyroxine. Previously I took Levothyroxine and Levothyronine. My current Endocrinologist only believes in testing the Free T4 and the TSH. She won't take any other tests. The nurse from my GPs office looked for another Endocrinologist

For info: Just had a big rant on government survey on women's health
UK Government are doing a consultation on women's health until 13 June (although in England only sadly) You don't have to be a woman to complete it i..e you can complete as an ally (friend/family member) Sure this has been shared before but i found it very therapeutic to have a rant by completing the

Iodine and hypothyroidism
I am unsure about the link between hypothyroidism and iodine: I recently started a new product and I realised there is a lot of iodine in the product.

AMD in Merseyside / Bootle area
I’m thinking about moving from London to the Merseyside / Bootle area. I have treatment in my local London teaching hospital for AMD and corneal dystrophy, and I’m allergic to iodine. I’ve had so many injections to both eyes I’ve lost count, but it’s been approx. 5 years of treatment. It’s been difficult

Should I try and get referred to add t3?
Hi. I have underactive thyroid resulting from RAI 15 years ago. I have never really felt myself since but I’ve always just put it down to getting older and being a tired Mum. Recently my depression, brain fog and fatigue have gotten worse and I’ve also started to get terrible bloating constantly (with

Raising awareness of Iodine Deficiency & Thyroid-related Issues
Years ago governments made the decision to add fluoride to our water and bromide to our flour (think bread). Both of these elements counter the Iodine in our systems. “Iodine deficiency is the leading cause of preventable mental and developmental disabilities world-wide" “Iodine deficiency has lead

Increased TSH
Hi, I just wondered if anyone had any advice. I’ve been having symptoms of a out of whack thyroid for a while now and have my bloods done every 6-8 weeks. My antibodies always come back negative and up until now my TSH has always been between 1.4-2.2. My white blood count seems to drop every so often

Anyone else get super itchy, highly sensitive fingertips?
This only started a few days ago but I’m wondering if it could be thyroid related. The tip of my finger is irritatingly super itchy. Like I want to constantly rub it against the sharp corner of my worktop. All the time. It’s also really sensitive. I had RAI treatment ages ago and paranoid about nerve

Iodine and sea salt
I see a Dr. David Brownstein an alternative doctor in Michigan. He has written eight books two of them are about Iodine and sea salt. He says Iodine and salt are very low in our diets. He recommends Lugol's Iodine (a prescription ) and a Celtic Sea Salt from a mine in Brittany France. The salt does

Back on levothyroxine, dose upped
Hi, I've had hypo for a while now and felt a bit better before when I was taking 125mcg synthroid. However my GP got scared back then that the TSH was too low and reduced my dose to 75. Of course this made me feel terrible again. So I tried some NDT but didn't fare too well on the Thai brand, that caused

Banging noise in ears
Hi I have posted on here before. Just a brief summary, was overactive had iodine treatment been on levothyroxine treatment since. Have been bouncing from 100mg to 150mg to try and get a happy medium, have three weeks ago met middle ground at 125mg. I'm now suffering from ringing in my ears and I'm freezing

Help needed in long term effects of RAI for Graves Disease, long term use of Levothyroxine and how I go about transitioning to NDT.
Hi all, To give a brief history - I was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease in 2000. After 6 years on Propananol, Levothyroxine and Carbimazole, I had Radio Active Iodine in 2006 and have been on varying doses of Levothyroxine ever since. During my routine yearly blood test at the end of 2019 it was detected

Hopefully no more injections 😃
So 12 months ago I was referred to Opthalmology after an opticians appointment and had a macular oedema in my left eye. I saw a consultant and he said brvo. After a short time I started receiving lucentis injections. I dreaded these as always had such bad after effects. I would be climbing the walls

Iodine loading test?
I have recently had a urine iodine test which showed I was very deficient. Apparently this test in isolation isn't particularly useful so I would like to follow it up with a 24hr loading iodine test. Would my gp be likely to do this if I requested it or don't they do it on the NHS

Reduced Carb Diet and a Little Weight Loss is Reducing My Blood Lipids and Liver Inflammation Markers
I just thought I'd share my findings, maybe it'll help encourage those struggling with carbohydrate reduction and a change in diet. For the past 6 weeks i have been restricting carbohydrates (to around 100ish grams per day), with the complete elimination of added sucrose or foods containing sucrose as

Test message from GP
Just had this text message from my Gp this morning. I had an appointment with him on Monday to discuss my recent bloods, with the hope of another increase in Levo to just tweak my levels. He seems really nice, I’ve never seen him personally as he’s quite new to the surgery but what annoyed me was the
