Iodine and Povidone - A Chemistry Lesson
Over the years, we have seen many mentions of povidone-iodine. This video is the first time I have ever come across a proper explanation as to why povidone-iodine is chosen! It then continues with its aim of extracting pure iodine from povidone-iodine. The video could be very boring if you are

A recent consultation with a CLL specialist, and confirmation of genetic markers
My wife had an appointment with CLL specialist Dr. C. Chen yesterday. We also performed other blood tests. I had a pleasant consultation with Dr. Chen. I was perplexed because of the TP53 mutation, whether it was discovered or not. I posted an earlier post that she has a TP53 mutation. I am sorry for

combined therapy help
Hi a little advise if possible: normally levo 125mg and thybon 5mg. A new endo has taken me off thybon to try and work out if I have diabetes inspidius (water balance issues). I think I was slightly too hyper but 3 weeks later and I feel terrible - weight gain, constipation, no apetite. I don’t think

Devastated
I went to my first three month blood test today. I am at Rai 0. I feel great. My WBC and Lymphocytes doubled in 3 months. I am starting V and O on Monday. I am pissed and scared. I had 3 months on Wait and Watch. Chronic was supposed to mean 3 years or 10 years before treatment. My wife and I are driving

long term carbimazole
I currently take 5mg Carbimazole alternate days. I have toxic nodules so stopping meds is not an option. Like many people on here I have been pushed towards RAI or surgery TT. Every time I feel I get near to a decision I learn something new! I am interested in what people have been told about staying

Carbimazole and severe bloating
I've been taking carbimazole now for 3 weeks but have been having extreme painful bloating in my abdomen. Not feeling sick and bowel movements are normal if not less regular. I cancelled my appointment for RAI to opt to try tablets first but this tummy ache is debilitating. Do side effects wear off

recently diagnosed with overactive thyroid
hi Forgot to mention… I’ve been taking multivitamins which obviously contain iodine, as I’ve just been diagnosed with overactive thyroid should I stop taking them?? Not yet on medication I'm currently waiting for carbimazole prescription.

Newly diagnosed thinking of trying metavive.
I’ve also bought some
bovine
thyroid
from another company to try. Any advice much appreciated thanks. Update: I have seen my GP today and she has requested a repeat of thyroid panel and if it’s still the same then she’s wants to start me on 25ug of Levo for 3 months see how I get on.

Spent 2023 improving folate, B12, Vit D although ferritin still poor. Came off PPIs and now take Gaviscon twice daily. Gastritis issues ongoing though. Officially a poor converter (dud DIO2) so really wanted to try T3 Gluten

Question for thyroidectomized patients: iodine processing issues?`
Hi, it seems to me that if I eat a bit too much seafood, I see some adverse issues. I do not have a thyroid, and wonder - since the thyroid is by far the organ with the highest need for iodine... how does iodine get processed in the body of someone who does not have a thyroid? If you also lack a thyroid
