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

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

Iodine raises TSH
Maybe we should gargle with
iodine
before our blood tests if our doctor is in a panic about our low TSH?

History of iodine, cretinism, hypo etc
Another 50 years later, autoimmune thyroiditis was ascertained as the most frequent cause of hypothyroidism (in areas with no
iodine
deficiency).

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

Stroke survivors with Endometriosis?
Hi, today I saw a consultant Gynaecologist who told me I have Endometriosis and a large Hydrosalpinx ... he said normally they would like to operate to remove my fallopian tube and ovary and surgery to treat my Endometriosis along with hormonal contraceptives. However, as soon as he realised that I had

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?
Hello everyone. I am a 32 year old female and have been on Carbimazole for the last 9 months for Graves’ disease.

Stopping thyroxine
Yes it is a radioactive
iodine
scan to see what is going on. It is normal practice to stop meds for 4 weeks for best results

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.

Neck rash - what's causing it? What can ease it?
Underwent radioactive
iodine
therapy about 4 years ago to 'kill' part of the thyroid. Subsequently went into minor hypothyroidism which was treated for 6 months with carbimazole. Past 2-years of thyroid tests show everything is 'OK'.

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

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?
