Propylthiouracil - Safety of long term use.
I have been taking Propylthiouracil for a year now. I have been advised that I should now consider RAI or surgery as my consultant does not advise the continued long term use of medication in someone of my age (56). Does anyone have any experience of taking the medication long term? FT3 - 6.8 (3.1-

IBS back pain and pain killers
When my. IBS has flares up it aggravates my back problems. I used to manage the back pain with pain killers and anti inflamatories. I think the latter are why IBS got bad. I am now in extreme pain and paracetamol is not doing mu h on its own. Codeine usually leads to constipation which also affects

Well, I never saw this coming! Love Island isn't the most common topic here. I think many here will have some understanding of Demi's state. [i]

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 2 years ago due to various symptoms and a thyroid nodule. I had RAI and the nodule reduced. I have been hypothyroid since July 2019. Started on 50mg levothyroxine, then upped to 100mg then down to 75mg as I was advised I was almost hyper. In January the nodule returned

No Longer on Medication
Not sure what happened.... About two years ago, NatureThroid began to (what I know now) start to be too much / overdosing. TSH was still climbing, but increasing dosage caused tremendous chest / heart pains. Not surprisingly Doctor said “it’s because we don’t know how much T3 and how much T4 is in

Do anyone have any advice or success stories of HEALING A THYROID NATURALLY?
I'm 42 and I was diagnosed with Sjogren's, Hashimoto's and Graves 4.5 years. My T4 was only slightly elevated and after a friend recommended I saw a homeopath (who gave me some awful brown solution) my TSH came back to life and back in to normal range after 7 months. Despite my thyroid bloods remaining

Pain
Hi I’m under investigation for PCOS. I’ve been put on the progesterone only pill so I’ve stopped bleeding, however I’m still getting agonising pain in my groin and the worst cramping. Has anyone else had this? Is there anything other than paracetamol and codeine that I can take? (Can’t take anti inflammatory

Getting stronger
Tomorrow it will be 2 weeks I have been home. I have had a fantastic follow up by a cardiac nurse,who gave me a right bollocking. Firstly for doing too much walking and for not taking the right amount of pain killers. I am now doing 2x15 min walks and started the full paracetamol and codeine dosage.

Mitral Valve
This could be a long one, so I apologise in advance. In 2013 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer so had the thyroid removed and had radioactive iodine. In 2016 it came back in the lymph nodes so I had 5 removed from “level 7” since then things haven’t been quite right. I used to run 5k quite easily

Graves or Hashimoto’s or something else??
So I have over the years, and recently, had elevated TPO antibodies, tons of hyper/hypo symptoms and blood tests that fluctuate. My TSH is often low and even out of range and occasionally my Free Ts have been out of range high. I’ve always assumed I had hashimoto’s but never been bad enough on bloods

Severe iodine deficiency & Hashimoto's
Hi all, I'm still struggling after 3+ horrible years. I have Hashimoto's and a really bad doctor took me off all meds for 2 years (2019 and 2020) and labs barely stayed in range (TSH around 3.5 (.4 - 4/5), Free T4 around 1 (.8 - 1.7) and Free T3 around 2.8 (2 - 4.4). I literally thought I was going

Broken and Lost - awaiting urgent hysterectomy at 34
Today broke me!! My surgeon phoned for an over the phone consult (thanks covid) if you know my story I’ve been waiting since 2017 for a hysterectomy due to stage 4 or as I call it decimated stage Endo. I haven’t even met him in person since I was ‘urgently’ referred Nov 19! And he’s called twice both

Update on my Endo stand off!
Hi, I posted a while ago how I’m a long term user of carbimazole 24+ years now and how my endo was trying to force radio iodine therapy on me. So I backed out of the consultation and my endo got very cross and sent my doc a letter asking ‘as this patient has refused treatment, could you monitor bloods
