Ablation feedback from yesterday
Hi allI finally went through with it! Firstly, I couldn't have the usual pain relief as I am sensitive to codeine, tramadol and morphine! Anti sickness gave me an anaphylactic shock when I was 17 so they trod carefully with that one! Not sure what I had but told I had received a fair bit of sedation,

I'd like peoples experiences of gabapentin please
5 spinal fractures, a cyst on the lower spine and blood cancer. Hospital asked my GP to discuss stronger pain relief. He changed my pain patches to fentanyl 12 And also sent gabapentin 100 there was no patient information leaflet in the gabapentin, just a label on the box saying to take 1 the first day

The Iodine Debate
Hey everyone, I’ve started my hypothyroid journey/battle and wondering others thoughts on Iodine. I’ve gotten one book called The Thyroid Reset Diet (by Alan Christianson) whose believes based of his research/studies that we might have too much Iodine in our diet. Another book I got, Iodine and

To Thyroidectomy or Not to Thyroidectomy
Hi there! Hoping for some guidance, advice and possibly real life results from some members. I was diagnosed with Graves' Disease this time last year. I had every possible symptom you can imagine. I started on Methimazole almost immediately. My numbers have gotten better but are still not controlled.

Gastro oesophageal reflux
I’ve had RLS for decades, and have been taking codeine 30mg for a few years which I think helps - not sure if it’s just a placebo effect. However, I also have reflux for which I was taking Omeprazole 10mg on which I was symptom-free. Several months ago I discovered that Omeprazole worsens RLS, so I stopped

Gabapentin
I've suffered with rls for over 30 years which has gradually got worse and worse. I'm now 74. After taking dopamine agonists for years, then tramadol, codeine and trying Kratom nothing was working and my doctor and neurologist would and could not prescribe anything else. In the past I had tried Pregabalin

chlorella and hashimotos
Hi anyone have any knowledge as to whether it is not advisable to take chlorella if you have Hashimotos since it contains a small amount of iodine?

T4 over range yet again due to side effect of Amiodarone. I have no thyroid, am on 25mcg levo daily now. In a dilemma
Hi all I am aware that most people on this site will have little knowledge about the drug Amiodarone so here is a brief account of what it is used for and it's potential side effects that can alter conversion of thyroid medication such as levo or NDT so pushing levels either up or down. It can also effect

Horrific mornings
Just a rant really in case anyone has similar experience. Every morning, without fail, is a nightmare. Regardless of the previous day and how I feel when I go to bed I wake with pain from nasty to severe to excruciating and need to expel the alien before I can think off getting out, by which time however

parathyroid
Today tcpace raised a good point about the parathyroid and if surgeons aim to preserve them. This is something I’ve wondered about with relation to RAI, as I can’t imagine anything in its wake would survive. Any thoughts/knowledge?

Vasospastic angina pain relief
Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has been prescribed decent pain relief to take at home instead of having to call an ambulance? I’ve been admitted 5 times in the last 14 months with severe pain due to VSA which the GTN didn’t touch. Mine can last almost all day and go on for several days at a time

Last week GP gave me 30mg codeine, taking with paracetamol but only slightly improved things. Pain is unpredictable, suddenly excruciating, shooting

Rheumatology second opinion appointment
Hello everyone, so my husband had his second opinion with another NHS rheumatologist yesterday (same hospital), and I'd really appreciate people's thoughts on some of the things he said, as follows: 1) The pain, stiffness, heat and swelling across my husband's knuckles and proximal joints (both hands

Amiriodone & NDT update
So I was put on Amiodarone post heart surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. I thought it was a three week course but it's not. Now on 200mg per day for the next few months . And yes I think it's messing my thyroid hormones up. I did protest over taking it...due to its high iodine content and contrary indications.

Is it ok to take painkillers with Prednisolone?
I have recently had probable PMR diagnosis and am on day 2 of week’s trial on 15mg prednisolone. Too early to see if it’s having effect but had partially sleepless 1st night and PMR symptoms worse than ever this morning plus slight headache (but that could be lack of sleep). Before GP confirmed my suspicions
