Swollen face ( parotid gland) and NDT?
Hello all! I have been taking 1gr nature-thyroid for 15 days ( with beautiful increase of basal temperatures). And all of the sudden canker sores appeared on my gum. Followed by a swelling of my cheek. Related to parotid/ salivary glands being swollen. My naturopath says it’s a good thing. « This is

Iodine supplementation doesn't affect foetal outcome.
I just make this post which isn't groundbreaking, which shows that giving iodine to pregnant women with a degree of iodine insufficiency improves their personal iodine level but has no effect on the foetus. Unsurprising, because the foetus takes what it needs from the mother, regardless of whether the

Graves’ disease
Hi I am 58 years old and was diagnosed 5 years ago. I took methimazole and got severe allergic reaction. My liver levels are high so my doctor has no other medications for me. She insists I get radioactive iodine to kill it. I am refusing and struggling. I have no symptoms. Once again in awhile

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

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
