Selenium Transport Impairment - A Novel Form of Hypothyroidism
It presents with low urine

. I believe impaired deiodinase (D2) presents a special problem because it regulates local T3 levels near the cell nucleus, T3 saturation at receptors.

Graves and Carbimazole update
Hello again! I thought I would post an update to share my experience so far with Graves and pose a couple of questions. I had positive Graves antibodies result in September 2023 / low TSH but T3 T4 in range. Radioiodine scan showed increased uptake / hyperthyroidism. Started Carbimazole 5mg per

T3 Trial continued
Medichecks 20 March 2024 History:
Hypothyroid (after RAI in c2004)
Spent 2023 improving folate, B12, Vit D although ferritin still poor. Came off PPIs and now take Gaviscon twice daily. Gastritis issues ongoing though. Officially a poor converter (dud DIO2) so really wanted to try T3 Gluten

Endo finally tested FT3! Thoughts?
At my last endo appt early Dec, the consultant kept his same stance that my blood tests were all in range and my symptoms were all due to perimenopause. He said there was slight room for a small increase in levothyroxine so ive gone from 125x5/100x2 to 125x6 /100x1 and told me to speak to my gp and

Is it necessary to start treatment with L-thyroxin 50 μg ?
I was referred to an endocrinologist who perscribed L-Thyroxin with
Iodine
50 μg. After two weeks my bloods showed that TPO had increased again to 118 but TSH had decreased to 1.51. I then found out at a rountine scan that my baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks, a missed miscarriage.

The ongoing battle to be well
Since I had Graves diagnosed years ago have struggled with levothyroxine alone..had RAI ...although my previous doctor gave me a private prescription for Thybon Henning Liothyronine. Which I have got - but due to house move changed doctors..present one said it would not help so I did not take it!!

Bizarre Thyroid Quote from 1941

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

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

follow up
One thing I have not tested for is
iodine
deficiency. I keep reading that in the west it is very rare for that to be an issue for goitre and if you have hashimoto's , taking it could be dangerous? Is this true? They do not test on the NHS so would need do it it myself.

From darkness into light and almost all the way back again
Due to persistent AF and by now, a diagnosis of Graves, I was lined up for either a Thyroidectomy or Radio
Iodine
and sent to the local Endocrinologist. The one request I had was: “please don’t make me fat again”.
