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

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

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

Self help
Hi I’m new to the group….. looking for some help and advice, I’ve been diagnosed with fibro for a few years, just lately it’s got a lot worse, I’m in pain constantly, could fall asleep standing up, angry all the time, no appetite. The doctor has prescribed codeine phosphate which don’t do much, all

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

Propylthiouracil - Safety of long term use.
I have been taking Propylthiouracil for a year now. I have been advised that I should now consider RAI or surgery as my consultant does not advise the continued long term use of medication in someone of my age (56). Does anyone have any experience of taking the medication long term? FT3 - 6.8 (3.1-

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
