Post partum - weaning
Saw an endo yesterday and he is certain I have PPT (from pregnancy/miscarriages) and would have watched and waited before going onto thyroid med. We are going to wean me off NDT to see if I’m euthyroid. I was tested and had negative antibodies at the time, was asymptomatic and am fairly hopeful. Any

Why would I need less thyroxine after 30 years on same dose?
I've been on 150 mcg thyroxine for around 30 years. My reading over the years have been within range then went down to 0.01 but as I felt absolutely fine my long term doctor said it was okay to stay on that dose. Now another doc has said I should reduce the dose to 125mcg which I eventually agreed

Alternative to iodine contrast for CT colonograghy ?
Hi all, I urgently need to have a scan of abdomen and pelvic area, but I’m allergic to the iodine contrast dye that they inject. Has anyone had a similar problem and if so how did you overcome it. I can’t believe I’m the only one with this problem, but the medics seem unable to come up with a solution

Is it my thyroid?
Hi, I joined slimming world in January and after about a month my neck started to become painful and I became very drained of energy. The doctors thought I had a virus. After a month of pains in the front of my neck either side of my Adams apple i had a bad week of slimming world where I started drinking

Medications that can affect thyroid function
FYI. Izabella Wentz recently sent out an article listing the 9 medications she believes are the most common thyroid disruptors. Those are: lithium, amiodarone, fluoride, HRT/estrogen, Proton Pump Inhibitors, Interferon, Accutane, Iodine (excess), Botox. I have previously heard that beta-blockers

Graves and iodine
Hi everyone, my husband’s endo told him to avoid foods high in iodine. I was wondering what multivitamin would be safe for someone with Graves’ disease? Does it need to be without iodine?

I’m new here
Hi all I’ve been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about 2 years ago and am now on 5mg carbimazole once a day. The endocrinologists that I see all say I should have RAI treatment and that I will most likely be left hypothyroid but not to worry as they can medicate me for that. I don’t see the point in swapping

Update on My take on stress free painless Injections
Had my 10th eyelea injection yesterday. After the preliminaries, eye test, scan, initial anaesthetic drops and iodine I went into the sterile room. For the first time ever, I was asked "Why are you here?" What??? I had to stop myself from laughing out loud. "By appointment and for an injection

Different brands of Levothyroxine.
I have been on Thyroxine since 1994 after receiving RAI but the whole experience has made me worse. Endo now has me on 75mcg but brain fatigue is a lot worse and my legs lack power. No matter what dosage I take , there is no improvement. I have now increased dosage to 100mcg- stopped taking all supplements

Restless leg syndrome Chanel 5 10pm tonight
Hi all, Tonight in Chanel 5 there is a documentary on restless leg syndrome. If you have it or even if you don’t it’s so well worth watching it or grab it on catch up. I have Graves and had RAI. I was left with secondary restless leg. When I took thyroxine it was so severe it moved to my hand. The sensation

My take on stress free painless injections
Like many of us I have had a number of different injectors and I always wonder who I am going to get. Some have been more adept than others, though the aftermath has been more or less the same, except after my 3rd injection when every bone in my face became hot and extremely painful. For the 4th injection

My cure for persistent Balanitis and/or Thrush. Stubborn penis rash that won't go away.
I found a cure for myself. Afetr suffering with this for 2 months and trying suggestions here, which failed for me, I went to a private doctor, this is the 2 things I did: 1) Applied Iodine by Betadine 60ml but any Iodine solution will do. It's a brown liquid and you mix it with around 50ml or so cold

Hi all. My hypo thyroid symptoms seem worse to me despite medication and my endo saying I'm in range. By 12pm I feel totally unmedicated?
Hi I'm really struggling with my hypothyroidism since radio iodine treatment nearly two years ago. I started on Levo but found it difficult to tolerate finally giving up on it at 150mcg with itching, unbearable insomnia and huge weight gain. I went onto Naturethroid which was tolerated better and then
