Awaiting a diagnosis, would love to connect with others, as feeling so low
I'm mid 40s and for the past 6-9 months I've been having bowel/abdo issues - including constipation and then urgency. I also have constant abdo pain, predominately in my left hand side that gets much just before and during my period. This month I feel like I'm in some kind of flare as the pain is not

Thyroid and the environment: exposure to excessive nutritional iodine increases the prevalence of thyroid disorders in São Paulo, Brazil
We have had many discussions about
iodine
- specifically,
iodine
supplementation. This paper from 2008, which I do not remember ever seeing, is quite interesting and is fully accessible.

Question about pregnancy and having children with hypothyroidism after RAI for Graves disease
Hi everyone. I'm really grateful for this forum and appreciate all the generous advice and support. I want ask if there is any female who had RAI at a younger age and went on to have children afterward. I'm curious because I have marriage and children in my future plans and it would be nice to hear

The other side of surgery and covid!
hi. Had a mastectomy 2 weeks ago today and tested positive for Covid 12 days ago! Covid tests negative but symptoms persist! Surgery went ok - fatigue the key issue. Time should sort that out 🤞 Restless legs mostly ok - taking half a Pramipexole tablet each day! I got half way through weaning myself

T3 only - Thyroid less.
Radioactive
iodine
followed straight after in a cell for 3 - 4 days and lucky I appear to be free of cancer. I have a resistance to T4 so have only ever taken T3 120 ug spread over the day.

Little blue pills and linctus
The helpful palliative care consultant at Harefield has prescribed for me Oxycodone tablets and codeine linctus. These are to try and manage the worst of my symptoms, coughing and breathlessness. So far they are helping. Though I'm having to go to bed early I've been very busy. Last week I had yoga

Help please.
last night my right leg started jerking around 8pm. Had a bath with Epsom salts. Took medication around 9.30, legs still jerking in bed under weighted blanket. No sleep. Got up to read and do stretches. Waited until 1.30 to take extra codeine. Right leg continued to jerk. Had another bath with Epsom

Hyperthyroid and TED - Is Thyroidectomy the only answer?
Because of TED, I cannot take the Radioactive
Iodine
and my Endocrinologist and Thyroid specialist both have been trying hard lately to get Thyroidectomy.

THYROID AND ALMOND MILK / alternates
assimilation issues which can lead to swelling of the thyroid, it appears that switching from cows to Almond Milk also means less
iodine
consumed which may impair thyroid function ?

carbimazole
A few years ago I was taking
iodine
drops (only 5 drops in water a day) after seeing a naturopath because I live in Tasmania and was told that we were all
iodine
deficient here) but over a period of 3 years it built up in my system and caused me to have a very high reading of an over active thyroid.
