Blood test redukts
Hi everyone I am in absolute shock. The GP has just rung me about reducing my levothyroxine down to 100mcg from 125. I said I was not happy about it and she said the usual because my TSH was very very low she had to do it. On pennyannies great advice I said in the nicest way do you know I have had RAI

Changing from Levo to NDT
Hi All, Can I ask those of you that did not get on well with Levo and changed to NDT, what changes did you notice? Especially those who have had either TT or RAI. Just curious. Thank you.

Here is an extract what I read on Gutsense.org re salt
Moderate consumption of salt. Salt was always prized as one of the most valuable foods. The Roman centurions were paid salārium, or salt money (either in salt or money to buy salt). The table salt in the American diet is the sole source of iodine, a trace element essential for thyroid health. Salt is

Blood test results
Hi everyone. I’ve had some test results back. I had RAI in 2011 for hyperthyroidism and I’m therefore hypo. I’ve never really felt healthy since and in more recent years have got worse with aches and pains, anxiety, low energy levels, weight gain and more. So as you can see, B12 is low so I know what

Will I ever feel like my old self again?
Hi I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer after a TT and had RAI last month. I thought after RAI I would magically return to my old self but it just hasn't happened. Im constantly worrying that the treatment hasn't worked, I don't find out until the end of the year when I have my scan. I try to keep myself

Hi everyone, am new to this, I just wondered if anyone else suffers from this with Graves’ disease
I’ve recently been diagnosed with graves, am not on any treatment at the moment after having iodine treatment before Xmas. Does anyone suffer from joint pain? My hands and feet ache a lot. And I feel like my legs are really heavy , I am struggling to get regular blood test done because of the COVID,

Update feel much better
Dear All Wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support you showed me over the last few days . Hubby had a pain management review with GP and was prescribed codeine phosphate with paracetamol. I wasn’t convinced with this due to bad reviews of codeine so decided to stick

Coming off the pill
After my last period I have stopped taking the pill (I’ve been taking it for 11 years) as me and my partner are trying for a baby. My period is meant to be due 9th August, I’ve heard it’s likely to be extremely painful and quite heavy? Has anyone else experienced this? Will I still be able to take my

Possible Triggers
Hi all, Has anyone experienced a link between RLS getting worse by the regular use of painkillers for other problems? RLS started recently during lockdown and getting worse, even sometimes when I sit or watch TV. It seems to be worse after days when I take painkillers for managing back pain. The connection

The Importance of Nutritional Factors and Dietary Management of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
This paper was written with specific reference to Poland. For that reason, there will be elements which are inappropriate in other countries. My main aim in posting is not to distribute the advice contained so much as to highlight that there are at least some people who recognise that there are issues

How much iodine should be taken
Does anyone know what a therapeutic dose of iodine is? David Brownstein treats thyroid disease with large doses but the was a recent docuseries by Alan Christianson saying the exact opposite and that it is too much that causes thyroid disease. The docu series is finished but the Q&A is still on YouTube

Undecided on treatment
I’ve read so much about RAI and anti thyroid drugs and I still can’t decide which route to take. I know there are risks with both. I have been diagnosed with Graves and I’m currently on Propylthiouracil. I would like to get pregnant at some point so if I go down the tablet route and end up in remission

Conditions of the brain...
Have suffered from RLS since my teens (I'm 50yo now). Sometimes it gets so bad, I get it in my arms & face as well. I had epilepsy until my late teens & also suffer from bipolar disorder. The only relief I get is to take codeine. It's the only thing that works. All of these conditions are based on

Just expressing blood results without T3
Hi all I hope the weather is suiting and D3 soaring 🙃 Just to briefly update I've been upping levo to trial it for a good while, and up to 125 now although it always been near top,of range anyway. . And t3 near bottom I'm wondering if I'm stored up in RT3 I'm still unsure about it? Am I right
