I would like to know if 125 levothyroxine has the same potency as 125mcg Tirosint? I would like to buy some Tirosint but I'm afraid that 125mcg of Tirosint is more potent than

Thyroid Eye Disease & Prednisone | light at the end of the tunnel? :(
I have been diagnosed with TED by my endo and she has put me on a short course of 20mg of prednisone and referred me to a ted eye specialist. (i am also taking selenium, cut out gluten and have eye drops). This came 2 weeks after an RAI scan (where they use a tiny bit of iodine) and this apparently

Feeling confused...
Hi I am new to the forum and my brain is spinning at 100 miles an hour... I just wondered if people could give me some experience or suggestions of places to look for information - it is a mine field out there and struggling with where to start. Sorry for the long post, but here is the background...

Iodine testing options
Id like to test my iodine level but have found the various, past HU responses a bit confusing. Some may also be out of date eg Blue Horizon dont seem to do it now (they did last December for £49 incl a 20% discount). Any views on the best method? Note: I had it done by blood test with BH 15 months ago

Iodine Contrast - content
I had swelling of the feet within a few days after CT with iodine with contrast. This could be coincidence but the following link states that some contrast agents have silicates in them. Silicates are the cause of podoconiasis (a syndrome like elephantiasis of the feet.) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
