Why RAI
Hi, I had RAI treatment after two and a half years on carb. because my consultant said if I continue carb. It would lead to liver failure. RAI is ok. You have to watch your weight increase. It's not a cure all. My symptoms apart from tachycardia still exist. Some are known to worsen after RAi such as

Poor nail quality
Does anyone else have extremely poor nail quality? My nails are in a terrible condition..if they grow 1 mm, they split and break. They look like I do 15 hours of manual labour a day. I have considered acrylic nails but think that would only make matters worse. This is accompanied by increased hair

Reducing pregabalin
I'm down to 175mgs pregabalin. Every time I reduce I have a terrible night. I'm sure it does nothing for me and it's the tramadol that stops the feeling. But not always. I try not to take tram every day so I take 1 OTC ibobrufen and codeine +Kratom a couple of times a week. I read about the doctor in

How do you cope with stomach/colon cramping?
I have started to get them more frequently, and they are excruciatingly painful to the extent that I have no choice but to lie down for the rest of the day and hope it somewhat passes by the following day (just for it to come back a couple of days later). Even sitting up can be very uncomfortable!

Does anyone else find?
In 2003 I was diagnosed with over active thyroid. I received RAI treatment which knocked it under. I went onto Levithyroxine which for years seemed to be okish. Then three years ago it stopped working . We tried anything and everything and have currently settled on Teva liquid Levithyroxine which though

Cough and methotrexate
I have a very tight chesty cough that is stopping me sleeping as I can't stop coughing when I lie down. I increased my methotrexate last week to 25 mg injections from tablets. Don't think this has anything to do with the cough but does anyone know what I can take to help or suppress it? Codeine suppresses

Making rls manageable, a continuing story
I have had quite bad rls for the last two years and over time, very little sleep. However I have tried to persevere without drugs, although my GP has prescribed low dose codeine (15mg) which helped at first but I now try not to take. My rls is currently much better. It hasn’t gone away but it’s sort

Iodine
I’m just about to order iodine from Amazon. Can anyone help with type, amounts needed etc. I can’t eat fish so struggle to get much iodine naturally.
