Gargling for upper respiratory tract infections
Random trial reported below. Not Coronavirus but may reduce viral load in throat which has been reported to be initially high in the throat for Coronavirus, see second extract. Gargling with salt water is common in UK for throat infections. If I get a sore throat I think I will try gargling with a high

carbimazole
I live in Australia. I am aged 66. I was diagnosed about 3 years ago, with an overactive thyroid. I was told that my reading should be between 10 and 20 and when I had my first blood test it was 79. I had been taking mollecular iodine drops for a period of 3 years or so, as I was told I was deficient

Research on Links between Fibromyalgia and Thyroid
Can anyone point me towards recent research on links between thyroid health and fibromyalgia please? I started with fibromyalgia since having thyroid problems which has got significantly worse since having radio iodine treatment about 18 months ago. I am desperate and cannot get any help or support.

I was told I had Graves, but TSH Receptor antibody tests just in. Was it Hashi's all along?
I just had my Medichecks TSH Receptor Antibodies result (the first time I've had this done) The doctor's comment was "Your thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies is normal. This is reassuring as these antibodies are positive in autoimmune thyrotoxicosis such as Grave's disease hyperthyroidism

Iodine dressing and thyroid tests
Hi quick question, I was bit by a small dog this morning and was sent to minor injuries unit by work. They put an iodine dressing on me but mentioned that they used to say not to use iodine in hypothyroid patient's but because it's on my skin and superficial it will be fine. I have little faith in health

Iodine and goitres
Hi Iāve just been diagnosed with having multinodular goitre. I also have an underactive thyroid, take T3 only and feel well. However I still cannot lose weight. Iāve bought some iodine as Ives read it helps with goitres and with losing weight. Does this seem an effective method to take iodine?

Questions about types of scans.
We've done 2 PET/CT scans this year. One in May and one in August. I'm trying to avoid another one. Can anyone say why a PET/CT is better than asking for a full body MRI. At this point we are trying to avoid any more radioactive tracer in his body. We will do it if needed. We've had MRI's in the

Buprenophine success!
I am so grateful to Shumbah for posting and sharing her experience and success with Buprenorphine. I was able to get it prescribed from a neurologist here in Japan yesterday (0.2 grams as a suppository) and I tried it for the first time ( 1 x 0.2 mg suppository) last night. I slept for almost 10 hours
