Urgent help please - feeling total despair - think I'm going crazy after stopping and restarting levothyroxine - blood results included
Hi, This won't be the full story as I don't want to to make the post too long and hard/annoying to read. It's already going to be too long. RAI for Graves around 11 years ago. Never felt good on T4 since. Normal dose around 100 micrograms plus around 12.5 micrograms a couple of times a week. Mostly stopped

What to ask Endo?
Hi all Sorry this is quite long. I'm looking for some advice about next steps and what to ask my Endo when I see him next week. Background: I spoke to my GP in March 22 because I was exhausted and anxious and people I barely knew were commenting how awful I looked! She ordered a load of tests which

I need some help / advise
I’m currently being referred to a specialist after finding out I have an 8cm cyst on my ovary. For the last 2/3 weeks I have been in pain everyday and even ended up in A&E due to how much pain I’m in 24/7. On the first occasion they remeasured the cyst at 10cm then on the second trip to A&E it measured

Addictive drugs
Many years ago, when I found paracetamol was not always sufficient to give me relief from pain, my GP prescribed codeine. To be taken as and when required with a maximum of 4 a day. Since then my GP has changed and he seems to be telling me to take 4 each day at regular intervals, as the previous instructions

Is it possible to get rid of excess iodine in my body?
hi all this might seem like a silly question but i going to ask it anyway. IS THERE SUCH A THING AS AN ANTIDOTE TO REMOVE EXCESS IODINE FROM THE BODY THAT IS STORED IN MY CELLS? The excess iodine is playing havoc with thyroid numbers. I have no thyroid and resent numbers were: TSH 11.9 FT4 12.0

Pain Management
I am not yet diagnosed with Endo but waiting some tests. My period pains are becoming more and more unmanageable with the prescriptions pain meds I have. Currently I will take Codeine, Naproxen and Paracetamol to their fullest dosage but sometimes it doesn’t relieve me of pain or at least not for

Struggling coming off ropinerole
First thank you for all the replies to my earlier posts, before my second hip replacement. 4 weeks post surgery I am decreasing ropinerole slowly, just dropped from 0.75mg to 0.5mg after 2 weeks on 0.75mg. But struggling with symptoms starting early afternoon and getting worse as the evening progressed

I have a prolapsed stoma which is 4 inches long and 55mm in diameter I've also herniated my bowel with it being 10cm in length. I also have 1 metre of small bowel left so not really much at all when

Your thoughts please
I was diagnosed with bilateral toxic nodules causing hyperthyroidism in Sept 22. I responded well to treatment and now take 5mg Carbimazole every other day. My endo is now pushing for definitive treatment. RAI is not an option for me and stopping meds clearly won’t work. Removing an otherwise healthy
