Extremely High TSH
Ten months ago I nearly left this world. A lot of stress in my life and I thought I was just run down and tired. Long story short I ended up in ER severely anemic, got 2 blood transfusions and still low blood count so continued with the iron. Upon follow up, for some reason I requested my thyroid tests

I had the worst pain of my life last night. I couldn’t get out of bed for 1.5 hrs!
I come on here sometimes to have a good moan. I’ve had RA since i was 21. (30 yrs). Plus Iritis & Glaucoma. I’ve had an awful time the last month. First i had a very painful flare of my Iritis. Deep throbbing, burning, aching in my right eye, very bad vision. Had to go to Moorfields a&e. Went at about

Non-medical pain relief in pregnancy?
I'm 5 weeks pregnant, and my endo has been plaguing me. My GP and others keep telling me that the pregnancy hormones should kick in and suppress the endo symptoms, but I'm still waiting! I am taking token paracetamol and considering codeine, but am nervous about the potential risks so would rather

is it a flare?
severe back pain on Wednesday. Started on codeine. Not working Friday started on tramadol plus bloods taken. ESR 35 CRP 8 white blood count raised. Is it a flare or an infection?? You’r help is greatly needed. Never had pain this bad with PMR GCA before.

GP not really understanding
I had RAI around 5 years ago for Graves disease which I have had since 1991, RAI was considered the best option as I had relapsed 3 times and can't take Carbimozole. When I was controlled by propylthiouracil my TSH was kept around 0.8 and T4 around 20. It took two years post RAI for me to feel any

I want to get rid of this disease ASAP. How can I do? I'm really disappointed with my hyperthyroidism.
Because of the side effects of radioactive
iodine
, I'm afraid to treat it. Now I take Carbimazol vs Propanol. I can't go to hospital because of my country's conditions. I want to get rid of this disease ASAP.

Newly diagnosed hypothyroid - medicate or not?
>>And might I continue to get better now that I'm taking
iodine
(and selenium, D3, B12), or is there a limit to how much that will help?

Nighttime angina
I have mild ischaemic heart disease and had occasional exercise-related attacks of angina which now seem well-controlled on Nicorandil 10mg, half-tablet am and pm. A few months ago, I had surgery on a badly-broken femur, and a number of temporary medications including morphine and codeine. Since then

Another private blood test for advice please
Hi all, I’m not quite sure if I’ve gone from one extreme to the other with TSH maybe in the last few months. Here is my latest test result (done early without meds etc) (I’m Graves’ disease, had RAI 2017 and currently on 100 levo and my own added T3 which I’m not sure I should drop this or reduce

How long has it take RAI to work for you?
Hi All, My hyper battle has been ongoing for 4 years. First time it settled quicky with Carbimazole and relapsed after stopping, I have now been on Carbimazole for over 3 years, with the only break being for my RAI treatment. So my RAI treatment was 10th May and I restarted Carbimazole 20mg a day

Think I'm just starting out... Heart Inflammation/Myocarditis
Hi all, I've replied to a couple of posts so far but not actually written one myself. I'm not usually one for writing spiels but I'm wondering if it might be cathartic for me, and maybe someone can offer more insight, or get some from this. This seems to be a lovely, supporting space from what I've

Supplement, Iodine advice and more
I think I read somewhere that if you are on Levothyroxine you shouldn't take
iodine
. These multis have 150ug
iodine
. Would it be better to take separately a Vitamin B complex (along with Vitamin D, Fish oil, Turmeric and Magnesium that I already take)?

Supplement advice please for a newbie
I have had to cancel my GP appointment, that I have waited three weeks for, as I have contracted covid and the next one available is in four weeks. I want to feel as well as I can, as soon as I can. I had a total thyroidectomy late last year for thyroid cancer followed by RAI in March. I got through

Poor nail quality
When I google my symptoms, I keep getting "
iodine
deficiency" as a probable cause. I have always avoided
iodine
like the plague as it´s said to be bad for people with autoimmune thyroiditis.

Ongoing fatigue following thyroidectomy due to cancer
In 2019 I had a full thyroidectomy and RAI treatment due to cancer. Since then I have had problems with fatigue, which I understand is not unusual after this type of treatment. I was given125mcg Levothyroxine initially but this caused near hyperthyroidism, I am at present on 100mcg but find I am still

iodine
might be a problem?????? Does anyone know?

Just received the full copy of my blood test where I can see my TSI
My TSI is 1.20 (0.00 - 2.00) Does it mean that I ddi not have Graves and RAI is not right treatment for me? Thank you very much for your opinions.

Pregabalin, Dosage thoughts?
Hi, I restarted Pregabalin in Feb. this year partly I have to say out of desperation, there being nothing else prescribeable available to me, GP had allowed me to trial Codeine but it took 90mg to suppress symptoms and there was no way that was going to be viable long term, more potent Opioids were
