What are your thoughts on thyroid regeneration?
As far as I know, these are the ways you can become hypothyroid. One, you have a birth defect that causes hypothyroidism, Two, you have had radioactive iodine treatment. Three, you have had your thyroid surgically removed Four, you have hashis I'm told i have Hashimoto's, but I'm sure it was only by

Bit of a rant! I’m so disheartened by lack of care.
3 years ago a nodule was discovered on my thyroid during various scans for breast cancer. I opted to see an endocrinologist privately just so I could get away on holiday. I had blood tests and a biopsy and was diagnosed with sub clinical thyrotoxicosis. The option was given of monitoring with blood tests

Radioactive Iodine Therapy and cannabis
I'm having RAI in about 10 days and wondered if it was safe to take some 'gummies' - cannabis edibles - with me?

Different approaches to delivering injections
I sometimes wonder if there is ‘best practice’ in delivering injections or is it always down to the individual practitioner. Last Friday I had the same person give me injections as one time when it took 5 days to recover. She is very kind and takes her time, explains every move, cleans well. and

Hyperthyroid/Thyroid Nodules/ Stopping Carbimazole
Hi, I am Hyperthyroid, no antibody problems just nodules overproducing. I last posted 7 months ago on having to make a decision to stop Carbimazole and have RAI. Covid delayed this decision but I have a telephone appt with Endo later this month. Had bloods done 10th August and having more in 2 weeks

Follicular thyroid cancer
I was diagnosed with a benign goitre back in 2015. After noticing they had grown I’ve had further investigations and then a partial thyroidectomy. I have been told I have follicular cancer and now need to have the rest removed and potentially nuclear iodine. My tumour was encapsulated in thyroid but

Levothyroxine dose adjustment postpartum -- urgent
Hello community! hope you can help me. I am 7 weeks pp. I have Hashimoto's but was not overt hypo and actually in remission before getting pregnant. My TSH shoot up to 4 during pregnancy so I was put on 50 ucg levo with which I worked really well. Upon delivery, I had 4 different expert instructions

Iodine for injections and hyperthyroidism
Any nine have hyperthyroidism? I am suspected of having this as I had done very dodgy TSH and T3 results and am having further blood tests a day after my next injection. I read somewhere that iodine can make hyperthyroidism work and since it’s squirted straight onto the eye prior to an injection I wonder

Abbreviations
Hi everyone, I’m new to all this so please excuse my ignorance. I’m not understanding some of the abbreviations, RAI I know as I had this treatment earlier in the year, what does NDT stand for? I’m finding the site very useful, much better than my consultant who leaves me frustrated and angry!!!

Late Update with my blood results - need help
I've been meaning to get back since last posts with my blood results but life catches up. I had a few probs that came up earlier this year which gave me a bit of a jolt. I had eye problems and of course it was over the weekend so I had to go to the Emergency at the Eye Hospital. After extensive tests

New test results
Hi everyone I had a private blood test done in July showing hashimotos and I also had amazing advice on here saying my T4-T3 conversion was extremely poor. I had RAI in 2011 for hyper and am now hypo. Unsure if I had graves before that. I’ve requested my medical history but it’ll probably take ages

Anyone had rashes, possible psoriasis, after starting on Levo?
Had RAI in January, started Levothyroxine 50mcg in April. Developed a dreadfully dry and itchy scalp plus numerous other weird, itchy rashes on my body. Has anyone any experience of this. When first mentioned to my consultant he dismissed it, the endo nurse thinks it may be a reaction to the brand and

CT Scan with AF
Good morning everyone. Has anyone here been for a a CT Scan whilst in AF? I have a scan next week and I've been in persistent AF for the last 3 weeks. The reason I ask is because for some people the Iodine dye causes palpitations and elevated HR. Tim

VEG 1
I've been using the VEG 1 supplement for about a year but have discovered that one of the components, iodine, is something I shouldn't supplement as doing so is likely to increase the risk of auto immune attack on the thyroid. As I have a thyroid disorder this is not acceptable to me. I need to find

Help with weight gain after reducing my thyroxine
Hi I had Graves’ disease when I was 28 I eventually had RAI in 1996. My question is thyroxine. I’ve been taking 725mcg a week. My doctor reduced from 750 2 years ago as I was hyper but since reducing I’m 2 stone heavier and depressed. I was on antidepressants Citalopram. I stopped them 2 months ago.

Natural thyroid meds
Hi. After I had my children I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and subsequently received radio active iodine treatment (to destroy part of my thyroid) and have now need hypothyroid for 15 years. I think that in all of this time I have felt a bit depressed - or rather I struggle to enjoy myself. I wondered

Vegan Supplements
This is relevant to my previous post but it seems I can't add an attachment to a reply, only an original post. However, as the supplement I take at the moment contains iodine I should stop using it as there's a suspicion I may have Hashimoto's. As I'm vegan I've been using the vegan societies VEG 1,
