NDT making me feel hyper?
I have used NDT (Erfa Thyroid) for over 10 years. Suddenly this year I have had nasty hyper symptoms, but labs are normal. I have insomnia, heart papls, shaky hands etc. I tried to lower my dose but it made me have hypo AND hyper symptoms! Also my labs are too low if I lower my dose. So that is not a

I’ve recently joined the wet macula brigade unfortunately!
It good to have a forum to chat with people already diagnosed, I am 69 with one eye wet and the other dry, I have just had my first Avastin injection and the dreaded iodine that wasn’t used sparingly, I found the injection more painful than I was led to believe so not looking forward to the next, I have

Iodine content of six fish species, Norwegian dairy products and hen's egg
I have an unpleasant feeling that any deviation between the Norwegian Food Composition Table and this paper might be somewhat less than the UK equivalent. I was somewhat amazed at the huge iodine content of Norwegian pollack! Whilst it might be necessary to have a simplified system to approximate iodine

Tracheomalacia, or my goitre is squashing my trachea...
Hi everyone, Ultrasounds have shown my goitre is growing and is now 8-9 times the size of should be and is pressing on my trachea. A girlfriend says I wheeze a lot when I exercise, and sometimes I feel it pressing on my throat. I'm not on any thyroid meds, although the endo I saw thinks I should get

Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality after treatment of hyperthyroidism with either radioactive iodine or thyroidectomy
The choice between thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine (RAI) to treat hyperthyroidism has long been controversial. (Mind, we must not ignore the possibility of remaining long-term on anti-thyroid medication.) The possible side effects of RAI have been described, and discussed, at length over many years

I Want To Take Spirulina But Am Afraid also

Long-Term Antithyroid Drug Treatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
We have read of too many Graves sufferers being pushed towards either radioactive iodine treatment or surgery. We have also seen quite a few who have stuck with anti-thyroid medicines for many years. Clearly opposing viewpoints. Good to see a paper specifically looking at long term use of anti-thyroid

PA or not PA?
Hi, I have a family history of PA, though I have never been diagnosed myself. I have been Hypothyroid for 5 years, since having had RAI for Hyperthyroid in 2013.

How to talk to my employer about my condition.
Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone has some advice of how to explain my thyroid condition to employers? I’m constantly off with infections and viruses and they don’t just take a couple of days to clear. I had a blood test to check my T3 today and I’m convinced that the results may hold the answer. I’ve

Iodine and selenium testing in Uk- worth the fight?
Hi all, So recently I feel like I may actually be iodine deficient and because of hashimotos I have actively been avoiding it in supplements and my diet is prob low in it too. I always crave fish and seafood and wonder if this is more a biological craving for iodine possibly. I’ve also been supplementing

Graves Disease - RAI 2005 - long term consequences.
Hi there, thank you in advance for reading the following :- Why would I experience symptoms of RAI some eight years post treatment ? For the last 4 years I became very unwell with no saliva and a dry and burning mouth. My dentist suggested Sjogrens and I was referred in 2015. This came back negative
