Progesterone??
Hi! I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice. I’m 22 and I was diagnosed with endo when I was 18, I’ve had 3 laparoscopies burning the endo and removing ovarian cysts. I’ve just been told to go on the pill to manage the symptoms. The last few months I’ve been in agony missing time off work

The state of urinary iodine is not related to either TSH or Free T4
This paper shows that TSH and FT4 in blood does not reflect urinary iodine levels. This indicates the thyroid is flexible to iodine supply and is robust to limited iodine in diet.
Do Thyroxine and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Levels Reflect Urinary Iodine Concentrations

Feeling dreadful
I was diagnosed with Graves early 2017. I got back on an even keel and was in remission for 18 months but out of the blue had a thyroid storm in July 2020. I've been on Carbimazole, Propranolol and Apixaban since then. I haven't actually seen an Endo at all. I was diagnosed when in hospital in July

More glycol trade names
Strap in. This is a doozy. My husband used some iodine solution.... I broke out like crazy after coming in contact with a single drop of it. I checked the label and it had something suspish: "Makon 8." What is that, I ask? Here is what I found. Polyethylene glycol ether. Here is a giant list of trade

Painful joints and sciatica
I was prescribed codeine and paracetamol 30/500mg in 2019. I am now fully addicted. I am also taking Gabapentin 3 times a day 9 a day and anti depressants. My doctor is uncaring, no patient/doctor relationship atall. He's very detached and I hate seeing him! Looking to move surgeries soon

The longer the antithyroid drug is used, the lower the relapse rate in Graves' disease: a retrospective multicenter cohort study in Korea
Many have reported here that they have received an antithyroid medicine for a long period (whether carbimazole or propylthiouracil). However, long-term use of an anti-thyroid medicine is frequently denied. There is often considerable pressure to choose RAI or thyroidectomy. Of course, if the patient

Is my only answer RAI or a thyroidectomy?

Alive regarding pain relief please
Hi just looking for a bit of advice for analgesia. I've got NAFLD cirossis stage 4. I am suffering at the moment with a flare up of diverticulitis and need to take analgesia. I know NSAID's are a no no , but codeine is that ok ? I've looked around for info but not really found an answer.

Overactive Thyroid
Hi, just been reading everyone's comments about RAI or surgery and I am shocked that I have a choice I was told I only had the 2 options and that staying on carbizmole 5mg was not an option. I now know I am being forced by my hospital rather than being given a choice. So glad I found your posts

Dietitian today
Hi I have had Ibs for many years, my diet is really bad. I am also vegetarian. I have been taking individual supplements, the dietitian today said, I have been taking a high dosage of each and she recommended an A to Z multivitamin and mineral. She said my guidance is Vit d. = 15 mg B12. = 1.5 mg

Salivary glands
I had RAI in july last year and now have a swollen face and neck ob one side indicating possible gland blocked. Is it common to get this 9 months after RAI or is it unrelated? Anyone had this experience?
