TSH after RAI treatment.
Just wondering is there a pattern to how the TSH performs following RAI treatment. I had RAI in 2008. Presently my TSH is very low/suppressed. As to be expected my Gp has reduced my levo from 100 to 75 mcg. And seeing Greygoose most comprehensive response to Supul , I know my thyroid has been mismanaged

Really starting to worry. :(
So for the past 5 years I’ve been getting pains around my right shoulder blade area after I eat anything or it can come on when walking. Went to see my GP who put it down to a rotator cuff injury, which I was sceptical about but because it didn’t cause me much hassle, I left it. Fast forward to 9 weeks

A new path - 2 weeks after Aortic Valve and Root Op
Hi all I can't quite believe that 2 weeks ago I'd just left operating theatre. Over the past week I've: - reduced meds down to 4 plus occassional) codeine - ventured out of house for walks round the block - arranged stitch (drains) removal and BP/HR appointment - had glass of wine with tea! I've started

Bovine thyroid supplements
Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone has good experiences with bovine thyroid supplements from new zealand. After changing from armour (which worked perfectly) to erfa (not so good for me) to synthetic L thyroxine and cytomel, I gained a lot of weight. Would novothyral be better? I have a new orthomelcular

So scared of starting PTU
I have a hot thyroid nodule which makes me hyperthyroid. I had RAI at the end of 2017 (don't want surgery) and while it greatly improved my condition I am not fully cured. I am 38 years old and just found out I am pregnant. So my doctor will be changing me from methimazole to PTU, half a pill a day.

I said I was not happy about it and she said the usual because my TSH was very very low she had to do it. On pennyannies great advice I said in the nicest way do you know I have had RAI

Changing from Levo to NDT
Hi All, Can I ask those of you that did not get on well with Levo and changed to NDT, what changes did you notice? Especially those who have had either TT or RAI. Just curious. Thank you.

Blood test results
Hi everyone. I’ve had some test results back. I had RAI in 2011 for hyperthyroidism and I’m therefore hypo. I’ve never really felt healthy since and in more recent years have got worse with aches and pains, anxiety, low energy levels, weight gain and more. So as you can see, B12 is low so I know what

Will I ever feel like my old self again?
Hi I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer after a TT and had RAI last month. I thought after RAI I would magically return to my old self but it just hasn't happened. Im constantly worrying that the treatment hasn't worked, I don't find out until the end of the year when I have my scan. I try to keep myself

New here - hypothyroidism??
I know from all the reading I have done that
iodine
is important in the production of thyroxine so is this worth testing at this stage and if so which test would you recommend – standard or loading? Thank you for reading, glad to have found this community! 😊

Update - starting treatment 50mcg Levothyroxine, thank you for your previous advice
I also have a thyroid complex supplement containing B-12,
Iodine
, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Molybdenum, L-Tyrosine, Ashwaghanda Root, Kelp, Bladderwack powder. When is the best time to take this? Will any of it interact negatively with the Levothyroxine?

Iodine
, Potassium Iodide, Vitamin A, Selenium, Zinc, Vitamin D-3 and B-Complex. None of these supplements have made a noticeable difference.

Update feel much better
Dear All Wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support you showed me over the last few days . Hubby had a pain management review with GP and was prescribed codeine phosphate with paracetamol. I wasn’t convinced with this due to bad reviews of codeine so decided to stick

Possible Triggers
Hi all, Has anyone experienced a link between RLS getting worse by the regular use of painkillers for other problems? RLS started recently during lockdown and getting worse, even sometimes when I sit or watch TV. It seems to be worse after days when I take painkillers for managing back pain. The connection
