Asking for advice following RAI
My MIL, bless her had an RAI several years ago due to hyperthyroidism. I often wonder if they got it right as she never fitted the profile for overactive. I know she's always struggled with weight gain and if anything I would have said she was more hypo than hyper. Several years later she's never been

Odd Results?
Long time guys! Peculiar results today. RAI in 2014 and unwell since. Trialing 20mcg T3 and ERFA 30mg TSH 9.04 (0.27-4.2) T4 3.9 (3.1-6.8) T3 10.5 (3.1-6.8) TSH is usually well suppressed so hard to know what to make of these results. Still feel dreadful and think I’ve exhausted these medications

Shingles - does anyone have any advice?
morning all It’s been quite a ride…my ear started bothering me a bit on Monday . Just a small uptick in tinnitus which I tried to ignore. By Tuesday I was a bit worried because I have had total hearing loss in the past due to auto immune attack which was only (partially) restored due to mega doses of

I wonder if my thyroid was going wrong for decades before I became hyperthyroid?
I went hyperthyroid about 19 years ago. My explanation for it has been that it came soon after the birth of my beautiful son (amazing but stressful of course) and then the sudden death of my father a year or so later. I was just rambling on an ADHD forum (DX in 2022 now titrating) and the question occurred

My daughter has a swelling on her neck, can someone advise?
My daughter has been on a school trip away from home. The teachers posted pics for the parents to see and my eyes were instantly drawn to the swelling on her neck. Obviously I'm concerned this is her thyroid. After 4 days the swelling has gone down, however I can still feel it slightly. We're booked

Not reacting well to T3
It got elevated due to me trying to take
iodine
. I took a small dose of it, under 100 mcg and just like it did last time I tried it, it threw my thyroid out of balance. I stopped taking it. My TSH back in Dec was 6.6, so where it is now, things have improved.

Help interpreting Medichecks Advanced Thyroid blood test
I have been on a strict gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, soy free and low
iodine
diet for a couple of months and have felt A TON better. These results bear this out. I'm on 100 mcg of Levothyroxine and 5 mcg of Cytomel. The only values that seem at all close to out of range seems to Free T3.

Help please
I had cellulitis in both legs about 2 months ago. This has left me with open wounds and fluid running down my legs. I have other health issues and I can only have cotton against my skin. I literally can't eat, sleep or drink anything but water because of the pain and I can't deal with the wound care

Pregabalin concerns
Hi RLS survivors Update to previous posts: GP has prescribed Pregabalin for RLS. Currently been advised to take two 25mg tablets before bedtime. First night was great. No symptoms but still some fractured sleep. Since then, my legs have been truly awful. Jerking, moving from 2am/3am until morning

Is it Gallstones?
hi, I’ve been experiencing upper right pain under my rib that radiates into my upper back. (Feels like I have a bag behind my ribs - Strange I know) I’ve become feverish but no temperature. Doctor has given me 30mg of Codeine Phosphate to take but it isn’t helping the pain. Anyone recommend stringer

Following previous posts on this forum I have now, over a few months, decreased my Ropinirole from 8 tablets per day to 1 1/2 and will be decreasing to 1 per day on the 19th August when I will begin my Pregabalin treatment as suggested by Sue. Can you give me any indication how long it will take for
