Ashwaganda?
I just saw someone posting on another site that Ashwaganda has really helped their RLS. Does anyone have any thoughts on this please? I currently take Tramadol but only when desperate as I don't really want to be dependent on any drug if I can avoid it. However I have had to appreciate that I am taking

NDT Question
hi there, You guys were great at helping out before. I was having problems with thyroid……again. With my parents help I was able to go to a private endocrinologist and obtain Erfa NDT. So three months ago I started on half a grain in the morning, half in the afternoon. Felt great. Then we did some blood

Can gabapentin intensify RLS?
I’ve been phasing on to gabapentin since the summer whilst I came off ropinerole (been off ropinerole for 2 months). My gabapentin dose has been at 1800mg for 3 weeks (2pm, 5pm & 8pm on Doc’s suggestion) and during the night I invariably am awake for 2-4 hours with the most intense RLS, worse than before

Family planning treatment advice
I don't know if it's best to have Radioactive
Iodine
treatment before hand or stick with medication, taking in to consideration the risks associated with each treatment. My thyroid levels at the moment are stable on 5mg carbamizole.

Night time Codeine.
Hi - I have been been on prescription 2x30mg Codeine Phosphate for about 18 months (for my RLS). They now do not work as efficiently as when I first started but I absolutely do not want to increase my dose. In fact, I would like to reduce down to 30mg a night. My tablets are so tiny, that it is impossible

Advice please re removal of mercury fillings and detoxing
I have read quite a lot about
iodine
from Dr Isabella Wentz and she says don't take
iodine
! So, your advice would be greatly appreciated - 1. Should I have the amalgam fillings removed? 2. If I do, should I be taking these supplements to detox?

Return to Patient-Centred Treatment and not before time!
As such, the end goal for the treatment of hypothyroidism shifted from symptom control to achieving a normal TSH.3 The focus on normal TSH, and concerns over the lack of batch-to-batch consistency in desiccated thyroid products (they are standardized for
iodine
content) led to the use of desiccated thyroid

I would like to see a discussion of T4 & T3 Conversion. I believe I was dx with Hypothyroid and placed on Levo that made me sick.
Then there is selenium and
iodine
deficiency, but none of that was ever questioned or investigated. A T3 level was never checked! Did the levothyroxine that made me feel like I was on amphetamines among other hyperthyroid sx did it cause my thyroid to atrophy or do any other damage?

Full panel and limited panel test results
I know something is wrong with my health because of my current issues with post
iodine
chemotherapy hypothyroidism, or in spite of it. Many of my Graves' (or even Hashimoto's?) symptoms remain despite the
iodine
chemotherapy and Levothyroxine treatment.

Post op catheter and bowel movement
I had laparoscopy 5 days ago for excision of endometriosis from the pouch of Douglas and right uterosacral ligament. Unfortunately I was in a lot of pain post op and struggled to get out of the bed alone and ended up with 2L urine retention and went home (after a failed attempt without a catheter) 3

new to lupus and diagnosis: pain and what to do!
Hello, I have been diagnosed with lupus from a skin rash I get with the sun. However I am currently waiting for a Rheumatology appointment as I have chronic pain in lumbar spin, SI joint, and cervical pain. I am currently in a massive flare and I can’t find comfort. Walking gentle is ok, sitting is agony

Atrophied Kidney

Chemo side effects and opioid intolerance
Hi all. This is my first post. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer in September and have just had my first chemo. I have had chronic pains in my legs that normal painkillers haven't touched. I'm opioid intolerant but took codeine an hour after metoclopramide hoping this would work but sadly

ropinerole
I have suffered from rls on and off for 40 years. 5 years ago it became unbearable. The doctor prescribed 1mg ropinerole at night. A miracle! From the first dose I had a full night's sleep. However, within a few months my legs were aching badly and keeping me awake at night. Spoke to a pharmacist

Is Long-Term Antithyroid Use the Best Treatment for Graves Disease?
At least some of this seems to have come from patients who, for one reason or another, were not given "definitive" treatment (radioactive
iodine
or surgery). At least initially this didn't come from research done to understand what was happening.

Radioactive iodine alternatives?
I am struggling with letting the Endo perform a radioactive
iodine
procedure to treat my Graves’ disease. The idea that my thyroid will be destroyed is unsettling. Has anyone had the procedure and has it helped. What is it like to have the procedure?

Despairing spouse
Hoping someone out there can help. Will try and keep it short. My husband is on levothyroxine following RAI in 2006. Six months ago he was absolutely fine, a bit overweight with a hearty appetite. Possibly because of this he suffered intermittently with reflux. In June he started taking lansoprazole
