How long can you take meds?
hello everybody. I’ve been taking 40 mg of carbimazol and 100mg of levotheroxin as my bock and replace therapy for Grave’s disease for about 4 years. My levels kind of stable and “in range”. But the endo is constantly bringing the question that I had to stop all meds. I don’t agree with that as I know

Post Thyroidectomy, low FT3, high FT4 on Levothyroxine 150mg daily
I have suffered with Thyroid problems for the past 35 years. Had a Hot nodule removed 35 years ago. Went from Hyperthyroidism to Hypothyroidism in the 5 years after. Was on medication until I was peri- menopause in my 40's. I have since had another nodule removed which turned out to ge Follicular Thyroid

Is all Lugol's Iodine created equal? Many brands imply safe oral use but come with a disclaimer 'talisman use only'. help!
Are there labelling restrictions / recent guidelines that prevent companies from 'encouraging' oral use of their lugol's iodine? Or are there different kinds of Lugol's solution, some which are 'food grade' and some not?

Thyrogard
Does anyone have any experience with the natural herbal thyrogard, specifically with Hashimotos? I know we cannot recommend anyone product. What I am looking for is thoughts on the natural iodine (kelp and bladderwrack) contained in this product. Levo and T3 has ceased to work for me. I have looked

Gluten Free after RAI
Would anyone share their experience of going GF? What kind of improvements did you experience and how long did it take? I have Graves treated with RAI in 2008, I have seen GF recommended a lot, I wonder what benefits I could expect if my thyroid has been ablated anyway. Thanks!

Blood tests
So after 3 phone calls to my endocrinologists secretary for a copy of my bloods taken in November , I have finally managed to get them. Even though I asked for full bloods this is all that I have been sent, so beggars can’t be choosers I suppose. Could someone give me a bit of advice on how these are

I had RAI treatment about it year ago and was put on levythroxine l. I have since found that my thyroid was

Iodine foods
Hello. My diet is lacking iodine rich foods. What iodine rich foods should one eat on a plant based diet. I eat salmon fish once or twice a week. I used to drink milk and eat chicken before my CKD diagnosis. Please help.

Appointment as aspected 😢
As expected, I got nowhere. Consultant apologised and said he knows it’s frustrating but as results are in range, he can’t do anything. He said normal range is the average range of the normal population and I’m in that range for everything so as an endocrinologist, he can’t do anymore. Said the people
