The state of urinary iodine is not related to either TSH or Free T4
This paper shows that TSH and FT4 in blood does not reflect urinary iodine levels. This indicates the thyroid is flexible to iodine supply and is robust to limited iodine in diet.
Do Thyroxine and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Levels Reflect Urinary Iodine Concentrations

Feeling dreadful
I was diagnosed with Graves early 2017. I got back on an even keel and was in remission for 18 months but out of the blue had a thyroid storm in July 2020. I've been on Carbimazole, Propranolol and Apixaban since then. I haven't actually seen an Endo at all. I was diagnosed when in hospital in July

More glycol trade names
Strap in. This is a doozy. My husband used some iodine solution.... I broke out like crazy after coming in contact with a single drop of it. I checked the label and it had something suspish: "Makon 8." What is that, I ask? Here is what I found. Polyethylene glycol ether. Here is a giant list of trade

The longer the antithyroid drug is used, the lower the relapse rate in Graves' disease: a retrospective multicenter cohort study in Korea
Many have reported here that they have received an antithyroid medicine for a long period (whether carbimazole or propylthiouracil). However, long-term use of an anti-thyroid medicine is frequently denied. There is often considerable pressure to choose RAI or thyroidectomy. Of course, if the patient

Dietitian today
Hi I have had Ibs for many years, my diet is really bad. I am also vegetarian. I have been taking individual supplements, the dietitian today said, I have been taking a high dosage of each and she recommended an A to Z multivitamin and mineral. She said my guidance is Vit d. = 15 mg B12. = 1.5 mg

Overactive Thyroid
Hi, just been reading everyone's comments about RAI or surgery and I am shocked that I have a choice I was told I only had the 2 options and that staying on carbizmole 5mg was not an option. I now know I am being forced by my hospital rather than being given a choice. So glad I found your posts

Salivary glands
I had RAI in july last year and now have a swollen face and neck ob one side indicating possible gland blocked. Is it common to get this 9 months after RAI or is it unrelated? Anyone had this experience?

Hi, I've had a swollen thyroid on one side for several months, the ultrasound scan I had in January found it to be about 40mm diameter. I have (as yet) had no symptoms thankfully & all blood tests came back ok so no hypo- or hyper- thyroidism. I had a FNA biopsy in January too & it was found to be "inconclusive

How long does it normally take to know my test results of an Iodine test from yourselves via Genova?

Neck resection and thyroidectomy
I had a left hemi thyroidectomy 3 years ago and 3 doctors at the time felt that was sufficient. My latest US shows papillary cells in the lymph nodes on the left and central neck. I am scheduled for a left lymph node resection and removal of the right remaining thyroid at Mt Sinai on 4/20. I am so nervous

Endocrinologist advice and T3 reaction
Hi there again, hope you are all well. I am looking for some recommendations and advice if possible please. So I started taking t3 alongside t4 in February (after some help from this forum) building the dose up slowly to 20mg a day alongside 100mg of Levo. I had a bad skin reaction mainly on my face
