Swollen face ( parotid gland) and NDT?
Hello all! I have been taking 1gr nature-thyroid for 15 days ( with beautiful increase of basal temperatures). And all of the sudden canker sores appeared on my gum. Followed by a swelling of my cheek. Related to parotid/ salivary glands being swollen. My naturopath says it’s a good thing. « This is

Excellent Dr. Wentz article on iodine
My apologies if this has been posted before but since there were some questions recently on the topic on iodine - this answers a lot of questions and is well worth a read: https://thyroidpharmacist.com/articles/iodine-hashimotos/

T3 every other day

I tried for 3 weeks to take 5 mcg t3 and 75 mcg t4 every day but have a lot of hyper simptoms. I had Graves in 2012 then RAI, then hypo with 100 mcg levo. I am a poor converter

Leg pain - relief?
Hi ladies hope you’re all okay. Last night and this morning I’m having the worse nerve type electric shock pains in my thighs 😩 codeine / naproxen and wheat bags not helping I’m guessing because it’s nerve type pain. Any other suggestions for pain relief? Also anyone else experience this? Thank you

Iodine supplementation doesn't affect foetal outcome.
I just make this post which isn't groundbreaking, which shows that giving iodine to pregnant women with a degree of iodine insufficiency improves their personal iodine level but has no effect on the foetus. Unsurprising, because the foetus takes what it needs from the mother, regardless of whether the

Help
Had restless legs for a while and took over the counter magnesium that seemed to help. But lately it's been getting worse. I take citalopram following the death of my son and see now this can make it worse. Last night I barely slept and my legs have been painful all day today. Additionally I have

Graves’ disease
Hi I am 58 years old and was diagnosed 5 years ago. I took methimazole and got severe allergic reaction. My liver levels are high so my doctor has no other medications for me. She insists I get radioactive iodine to kill it. I am refusing and struggling. I have no symptoms. Once again in awhile

How long can you take meds?
hello everybody. I’ve been taking 40 mg of carbimazol and 100mg of levotheroxin as my bock and replace therapy for Grave’s disease for about 4 years. My levels kind of stable and “in range”. But the endo is constantly bringing the question that I had to stop all meds. I don’t agree with that as I know

Codiene & RLS.
Hi hoochybaby I have been on most medications, most resent pregablin pramipexole & codeine which was increased to 60mgs . I am awaiting a telephone consultation with my nurologist. As I am now aware that the side effects of these meds are not good also I am sure I am augmenting. Codiene can help, but

Is all Lugol's Iodine created equal? Many brands imply safe oral use but come with a disclaimer 'talisman use only'. help!
Are there labelling restrictions / recent guidelines that prevent companies from 'encouraging' oral use of their lugol's iodine? Or are there different kinds of Lugol's solution, some which are 'food grade' and some not?

GP reducing pain relief
Hi guys I’m at my wits end. I have stage 4 rectovaginal endo. I have had one surgery that confirmed this in 2016 and no further surgery. My last consultant follow up was a round 6 months ago. I am managing just about with analgesia and sheer powering through as I’m reluctant to have the surgery as much
