Experiences with

Iodine

Hi there, I'm giving duloxetine (60mg/day) a try for endo pain management. It's day two for me, and it's said to work in 2 to 4 weeks.

I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease 4 years ago and had radioactive iodine treatment last October. Since then my bloods last week confirmed I’ve gone severely underactive which explains why I’ve felt so terrible recently.

Hi Paige, I have taken Duloxetine for 10 years. I take the highest dose of 120mg slow release once a day in the morning.

Hi everyone, I’m struggling to work out what’s going on with my symptoms as they seem to be possible for all of the above!
