Radioactive iodine - does it make a difference to treatment?
Hi I’m just getting all my information together to go back to my doctor after posting my results - thank you to everyone who has given me advice. I had radioactive iodine treatment 20 years ago, my previous Dr told me I will still be producing some thyroid hormones is that correct? Or should people

Why do I even bother talking to doctor
Ok today I went to see the doctor re painful joints, naturally he got the subject around to me losing weight, I told him after having RAI 15 years ago I went up to this size and have stayed this size no matter what eating habits I change, then I informed him all about the benefits of adding T3 with Levo

Underactive thyroid post iodine treatment for graves disease
Hi I'm new to this but I feel it would be good to know how other people manage their underactive thyroid. I was over active 8 years ago then had iodine treatment for graves I'm now underactive have been for about 5 years. I can honestly say I don't feel much different to what I was when I was over active

What dose of iodine is recommended for those with hypothyroid?
What dose of iodine is recommended for those with hypothyroid? I don't consume any salt so need to supplement iodine. I have seen recommendations for extremely high amounts of daily iodine, and also for none at all. thanks

Prolonged Duration of Hashitoxicosis in a Patient with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Distinguishing between Graves and Hashimoto's is important but we do see quite a few questionable diagnoses here. Important to note the mildly elevated TSI in this case. Good to see a case handled with subtlety and, apparently, sympathy. [i]Cureus. 2018 Jun; 10(6): e2804. Published online 2018 Jun

Undetectable Serum Iodine levels???
I just got my labs back which said I have "undetectable (serum) iodine? I keep hearing how the only method to test is through urine, but because of my experience in the past with a high dose iodine attempt, that petrifies me! It had been in the upper 20s for a year or more, but it has not dropped to

Whats the treatment for multinodular goitre with normal TSH and subclinical T4? (like one point above low T4)
anyone got any experience of having a goitre? I am wondering whether they treat with surgery or radioactive iodine in the uk? or whether they will give me thyroxine according to my terrible symptoms even though my numbers are bottom range normal?

Advice for blood tests please
Hi there everyone, I had a total thyroidectomy last November after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer and have since been on levothyroxine to replace it (I didn't have radioactive Iodine as I was classed as a low risk case) I am still trying to get my dosage right but am not happy with how I'm being

Help understanding my Iodine lab result
Hello group, I need help, please. I have hypothyroidism and beginning the 22nd of July I started taking 50 mg of Lugol 5%. A week later, I went for a test for my iodine level. In France, my lab doesn't do iodine "loading" test. They took it by blood and the result is as such: 3 455,0 µg/l

Advice please on medication
Hi can anyone offer advice again please? After radio iodine treatment I was put on Levo in increasingly greater quantities to combat hypothyroidism. I reacted badly to Levo with itching and insomnia and hypo symptoms persisted. Out of desperation my gp gave me a Private script for NDT starting on Naturethroid

T3 Dosage
My friend had a complete thyroidectomy 10 years ago. Since that time she has been on 200 mg of Levothyroxine. She continued to have debilitating symptoms such as weight gain and low energy levels so she researched the T3 route and decided that she wanted to try it. When I asked her about her dosage
