How to increase Cellular Uptake of Thyroid Hormones?
I have been also experimenting with
iodine
a few years ago. I remember very well that first time I tried
iodine
I finally got energy for the first time in many years.

Thyroid and the Menstrual Cycle?
When I was first diagnosed with Graves diseases my periods had practically stopped. I had no period for almost a year thinking the menopause was to blame. I started Carbimazole and reacted badly to it and had Rai. Soon after I started Levo. My periods have often been on the heavy side, but after having

Traditional chemo
has anyone been offered traditional chemo for treatment? My husband will be starting treatment soon. He’s been going to an oncologist in Tennessee. When we lived in NY Dr Rai was his doctor and we trusted him. We picked the oncologist here because he agreed to keep in touch with Dr Rai and discuss his

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

Thyroid Test Result
Hi Everyone Just to give you a brief history, I was diagnosed with Graces Disease in 2007, I had RAI treatment in 2008. Since then I have had a yearly blood test which have always been within the normal range. I don’t take thyroxine, I’m 67years of age. The symptoms I’ve got now is tiredness, constipation

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. : (

Huge anxiety 2-3 days after Radioactive Iodine treatment
Hi, I hope someone can help/advise. After 2 1/2 years on carbimazole for Grave's disease (5mg for the last year or so), I've had RAI. It was administered on Tuesday, I felt ok until bedtime on Thursday - settled in bed but felt paniky, very conscious of my heartbeat and breathing, felt the need

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

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

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

The iodine question
Hello, I am pondering on
iodine
supplementation. The b-complex I used it buy have changed the formula to add
iodine
so I am trying another one. However my nutritionist friend has incouraged me to have some
iodine
as it is important for healthy breast tissue and ovaries.

Reintroducing DA at a low dose?
