Carbimazole side effects
I am quite intolerant of Carbimazole - liver enzymes are abnormal and my white cell count is low -neutropenia and really sore gums/teeth. All a reaction to the meds but my Endocrynologist insists the alternatives medications are not much better. It’s take the meds or surgery or RA Iodine - my anti-bodies

2nd question re Hashimotos
I didn't have any replies to earlier request for advice today so perhaps no-one has Hashimotos on this forum? Diagnosed today- 2nd question is what dietary changes are wise and what effect does iodine have- seems to be conflicting advice - particularly re fish so quite unsure here.

My endo strongly insisted that I should not take T3 or even increase T4. We almost had an argument and at the end he was really angry. So we reached a compromise I increased my T4 from 75mcg to 100mcg and these are the results. TSH 0.02 ( 0.30-4.20) FT4 26.5 ( 12.00-22.00) FT3 4.4 (3.10-6.80) previously

Advice needed
Hi, I am hoping to purchase a book - I am underactive thyroid and have had RAI. I take 175mg levo a day and have Graves disease. I am currently on selenium and Vit C. Just want to get a book on foods that I should be eating and general advice on the above. Any advice would be welcome please. Thank

"... thyroid stimulatory hormone (TSH) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) ..."
New study from Hungary [1]. Odd to think that the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) might affect PSA, or vice versa. "PSA levels were higher in patients with TSH below (n = 405) than in those with TSH within reference range (TSH 0,35-4,95 mU/ml) (n = 6698) (PSA level: 1.118 [0.639-2.338] vs. 0.920 [0.508

Since I havent seen my neurologist in about TWO YEARS, I had a bunch of questions for him. here they are and here are his answers: Any value in genetic testing? No. Should we test my gut bacteria? No. Would Stem cell replacement be beneficial? Still experimental. No. Have you ever heard of the Marty

Is an iodine supplement a good idea?
Does anyone have any information on iodine supplements? I read that iodine in the form of Kelp is good for HF but not sure whether to try it. I can’t find any interactions with other medications but if it is such a good thing, then why don’t more people take it?

Iodine as a Prostate Cancer Preventative
I've been on a soapbox lately espousing the benefit of iodine supplementation. Here is an article by Dr Brownstein that is of interest regarding prostate and breast cancer. https://www.newsmax.com/health/davidbrownsteinmd/prostate-cancer-iodine-cysts/2017/05/10/id/789369/ It might be too late for many

Adopt a Phytoestrogens diet while going through the menopause and hashimoto's - good or bad ?
Fed up with feeling unwell. Not only am I suffering from hashimoto's but now also menopausal symptoms. Last thyroid test in July was borderline normal. My sleep is erratic, hot flushes are horrendous, muscles ache, shoulder injury not healed in a year, headaches. Been looking at fx menopause but ingredients

RAI i would love to hear your experiences 😊
Hi i saw my Endo yesterday and he suggests i have RAI for my hyperthyroidism due to my Graves disease, i had a relapse FT4 76 and he thinks it was due to me being on 5mg Carbimazole daily. I was stable at 10mg daily but he tried to lower dose to see if he could get me totally off the meds...obviously

In so much pain and so tired, Recent bloods from medichecks,
Since myT4 has been gradually getting lower I was advised to have SHBG checked. I had The anaemia panel done also as I’m so tired, breathless and suffering muscle pain. I can barely lift my arms. I’m on 125mg thyroxine and 30mg liothyronne I had graves and then RAI therefore I’m now hypo this 24 yrs
