Rai question
I'm just wondering about RAI (not relevant now but I'm doing research for future) when you have toxic nodules. Is it true that the radioactive solution just kills the nodules or is the whole thyroid destroyed? Does hypothyroidism always happen? If you had no TED before is it safe in terms of eye issues

IUD mirena coil fitted extreme pain
Hi so I'm hoping someone can reassure me this is normal and will ease in time. I just had an IUD fitted this morning I had no idea what to expect I figured it was like having a smear test, uncomfortable but not painful. This was not the case for me I found it extremely painful I had to use gas and air

CLL History
When I was first diagnosed the names we followed with great care were Dr Kanti Rai, Dr Terry Hamblin, and Dr Michael Keating. These men were the true pioneers in diagnosing CLL and providing some relief from this disease, about which little was known previously. Thus it is with sincere thanks that

night time pain
Hi there everyone. Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, but I my sleep is being ruined by severe lower back pain./stiffness in the night. My neurologist has prescribed me slow-release madopar overnight. This is proving completely ineffective. The only reliable way I can get a decent Sleep

Anti-inflammatories?
I've seen a lot of posts recently on how inflammation is the main cause of RLS. But if so, why don't NSAIDs alleviate RLS? I'm on codeine, but would rather be taking ibuprofen or aspirin if they worked. Alas, they don't. : (

hi I have been desperate for sleep but my RLS has been so bad that I’ve found it impossible I managed to get a GP appointment and told her my story and background and although she was sympathetic said the RLS I’d very difficult to control I told her I had no desire to go back on to a DA and my problems

I wake up in the night, if I can even sleep, my feet spasm, part of the nerve pain from the amputation

in trouble
it started with a low back pain, now I can’t move except in agony. Had the helpers come and raise my chair and put a frame around the toilet. They say I can have eight paracetamol and codeine each day. Waking up in the morning and trying to get out of bed is agony. My soon is trying to help. Love

advice please!
Morning all, I will try and keep this short. I’ve recently turned 40, I have suffered with heavy, painful periods for most of my adult life. I did have IVF 12 years ago and nothing was found (IVF due to being gay and have a distinct lack of sperm in our relationship) In 2019 I went to the GP but

N.I.C.E to stop the use of Lyiothronine (T3 ) prescribing
This is an absolute disgrace, it is obvious that it is a cost cutting move, so what about people like me who have no thyroid (destroyed completely by radioactive
iodine
) and need T3 in addition to Levo, with T3 being prescribed by my very supportive NHS Endo.

Serum iodine test, UK
The consultant said that test doesnt reflect cellular,
iodine
level (adaptive response/excreting minerals) so suggested a serum test is better.

Continuing problems after RAI treatment
Fifteen months ago I had RAI treatment to destroy my thyroid as the Consultant said it could no longer be treated with carbimazole as it was affecting my white blood cell count. So eventually, despite not wanting to, I had the treatment. As I had had an underactive thyroid for 12 years before it changed

Reintroducing DA at a low dose?
What is the current thinking around taking a low dose of a dopamine agonist in conjunction with another RLS medication? I took pramipexole ten years ago and experienced augmentation after approximately 12 months. Fortunately I didn't experience DAWS when coming off it. I have been on pregabalin for

Lone Paroxysmal AF or Hypothyroid Symptom?
And, like many of us, I was almost certainly deficient in [i]magnesium,
iodine
, and vitamin D[/i] - probably due to [i]malabsorption[/i] because of an adverse feedback between adrenal/thyroid and stomach acid.
