Underdosed with Armour
I have a couple of questions regarding people’s experience with Armour Thyroid after reformulation. A quick history: I have MS (diagnosed in 1981) and Grave’s Disease (hyperthyroidism) (diagnosed in 1986). Thyroid ablation with RAI in 1987. On Synthroid for over a year during which I was basically non-functional

Progesterone only pill
I’ve started taking the POP yesterday, just wondering what people have experienced in terms of timescale before I feel any pain relief? I’m awaiting a lap and have been given the POP on top of the other meds I’m already taking (paracetamol, Mefenamic acid and codeine when needed). Thanks

Advice please?
I had a TT in Sept 21. Follicular and no subsequent RAI. I’ve been monitoring my bloods and Vit levels and these are my latest results. My ferritin and cortisol remains high and I don’t know why? Also my T3 concerns me. It has remained at this level even when I was on higher dose but T4 was 22 I am on

15 days post c section: intestinal cramps and diarrhoea- anyone?
Hello ladies, First of all apologies for the TMI…I’ve had a c section 17 days ago and for the last 3 days I’ve been having terrible intestinal cramps with bouts of loose stools/diarrhoea….was wondering if it’s part of the recovery? Has this happened to any of you? After the section I was on antibiotics

Switch to Beovu?
My sight has got worse despite the injections and I have various problems with my reaction to
iodine
and corneal abrasions etc. I had a tantrum at my last appointment and finally got to see a consultant who raised the question of switching. I would be very grateful for any feedback.

Hi, I have just received these results. The report said I have subclinical hypothyroidism. I had RAI nearly 3 years ago due to graves , should I be worried that my levels are like this or should I just increase my dose? Thanks

Heartburn
Hi, I hope someone can advise please? I take 100mcg eltroxin, hypothyroid following RAI for Hyper/Graves. I've been struggling with heartburn for a while now. Was originally put on pantoprazole by g.p. then slowly weaned myself off as I was concerned about being on it for years, doctors don't seem concerned

Suicide.
I haven't been on here in a while but I wanted to maybe offer a little bit of hope to anyone who has been struggling with this condition and felt that they had no other options left to them. I had a major flare up of my RLS about 14 months ago and was prescribed Gabapentin. It took about 2 months

Iodine loading test?
I have recently had a urine
iodine
test which showed I was very deficient. Apparently this test in isolation isn't particularly useful so I would like to follow it up with a 24hr loading
iodine
test. Would my gp be likely to do this if I requested it or don't they do it on the NHS

Medication review
I have decided to ask my GP for a medication review after having too many nights with horrendous rls and concerns about the amount of medication I take and the suspicious that my surgery practice hands out tablets like smarties. I would appreciate any advice I could say to my GP over a telephone consultation

The state of urinary iodine is not related to either TSH or Free T4
This paper shows that TSH and FT4 in blood does not reflect urinary
iodine
levels. This indicates the thyroid is flexible to
iodine
supply and is robust to limited
iodine
in diet.

Desiccated bovine thyroid
It seems you can buy desiccated bovine thyroid on line at reasonable prices (EU) But you need a prescription to get desiccated thyroid from porcine (uk) Why is this ? And is bovine thyroid any good I've found a supplier but want some advice

AMD in Merseyside / Bootle area
I have treatment in my local London teaching hospital for AMD and corneal dystrophy, and I’m allergic to
iodine
. I’ve had so many injections to both eyes I’ve lost count, but it’s been approx. 5 years of treatment.

Not Sure What I Should Do
I changed doctors and the new doctor gave me radioactive
iodine
to reduce the nodules that had formed on each side of my thyroid then put me back on my thyroid medication. I'm very concerned that my present doctor is also going to take me off of my thyroid medication.

It wasn't a ruptured cyst, it was a miscarriage, without knowing I was pregnant.
Apologies for the rant, I think this forum is the only place that people will be able to understand how I feel right now, because even I don't understand. Over the weekend after thinking what I had was a ruptured cyst and being told at urgent care that I didn't need to attend A&E, my condition worsened
