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

How painful should a flare get?
I am quite new to RA and seem on an even keel most of the time but get occasional sharp flares that leave me very weak. Last weekend I had a serious flare in my left shoulder, radiating to chest cavity. It began, as they usually do with me, during the night, and by 3am I was passing out with the extreme

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.

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.

Propylthiouracil - Safety of long term use.

IBS back pain and pain killers
When my. IBS has flares up it aggravates my back problems. I used to manage the back pain with pain killers and anti inflamatories. I think the latter are why IBS got bad. I am now in extreme pain and paracetamol is not doing mu h on its own. Codeine usually leads to constipation which also affects

Back on levothyroxine, dose upped
And is it safe to be taking things with selenium and
iodine
in them too? Even in small amounts. The GP thinks I was taking my levo all along and my requirements have changed, which is why he upped it.

Advice on results please
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 2 years ago due to various symptoms and a thyroid nodule. I had RAI and the nodule reduced. I have been hypothyroid since July 2019. Started on 50mg levothyroxine, then upped to 100mg then down to 75mg as I was advised I was almost hyper. In January the nodule returned

Banging noise in ears
Just a brief summary, was overactive had
iodine
treatment been on levothyroxine treatment since. Have been bouncing from 100mg to 150mg to try and get a happy medium, have three weeks ago met middle ground at 125mg. I'm now suffering from ringing in my ears and I'm freezing cold all the time.

For info: Just had a big rant on government survey on women's health
[/i] [i]People should also not be offered radioactive
iodine
treatment without fully understanding what else they could do to reduce their autoimmune response, and potentially support a healthy functioning thyroid. They should also be made aware of the cancer implications of having RAI treatment.

Pain
Hi I’m under investigation for PCOS. I’ve been put on the progesterone only pill so I’ve stopped bleeding, however I’m still getting agonising pain in my groin and the worst cramping. Has anyone else had this? Is there anything other than paracetamol and codeine that I can take? (Can’t take anti inflammatory
