Blood test timing when insulin dependent
I have been underactive ever since RAI over thirty years ago. Unfortunately, due to poor management of thyroxine dosage (consultant didn't know what he was doing and left me to GP) I gained a lot of weight which just wouldn't shift. So I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and was prescribed Metformin

is iodine in almond milk a problem
I just noticed that my almond milk says it contains
iodine
. Does this mean I should avoid it? I’m just trying to have a life detox of all things bad for thyroid.

So I started to take Scottish Seaweed
Iodine
, as researched that it can help, was on it for around 18 months, but was advised to stop taking as this can make the condition worse, which it did hair, nails and skin suffered.

A recent consultation with a CLL specialist, and confirmation of genetic markers
My wife had an appointment with CLL specialist Dr. C. Chen yesterday. We also performed other blood tests. I had a pleasant consultation with Dr. Chen. I was perplexed because of the TP53 mutation, whether it was discovered or not. I posted an earlier post that she has a TP53 mutation. I am sorry for

Sorry, reposting due to stupid autocorrect! Have had total thyroidectomy and removal of lymph glands. Now waiting for appointment for RAI at Beatsons, Glasgow. Can anyone tell me what to expect and what it's like staying as RAI patient in Beatsons?

need ammunition to stop Endo reducing my T3
Hello, this is my second post concerning the fact that my Consultant's Registrar wants to lower my T3 from 10mg but keep me on 54 mcg of Levo as my TSH is supressed. I have no thyroid after it was destroyed with RAI.However his Registrar was abrupt, merely telling me that my T3 must be reduced because

Perplexing results. I wondered if anyone had any thoughts?
I was wondering if any one had any thoughts on my results I’m 14 years post RAI and have been on levothyroxine for 8 years and I seem to be very sensitive to dose change. I don’t have thyroid antibodies just a toxic adenoma. They run my T4 higher around 19- 22 for conversion for T3, my consultant

Graves disease Auto Immune Diet
Hello again. All has settled with tablets. Thyroid levels are normal again, so my Carbimazole dose has been reduced by half to 5 mg per day. I just wondered if anyone had tried any Thyroid diet plans with success. Not necessarily to lose weight, though I've put nearly a stone on with ATD but more

Help with Substernal Thyroid
I have been eating lots of goitrogenic vegetables, and I am wondering if this could have blocked the
iodine
and therefore made my thyroid grow. Sorry if this sounds like fantasy! I self medicate on Thyroid S and have felt very well with it.

combined therapy help
Hi a little advise if possible: normally levo 125mg and thybon 5mg. A new endo has taken me off thybon to try and work out if I have diabetes inspidius (water balance issues). I think I was slightly too hyper but 3 weeks later and I feel terrible - weight gain, constipation, no apetite. I don’t think

Devastated
I went to my first three month blood test today. I am at Rai 0. I feel great. My WBC and Lymphocytes doubled in 3 months. I am starting V and O on Monday. I am pissed and scared. I had 3 months on Wait and Watch. Chronic was supposed to mean 3 years or 10 years before treatment. My wife and I are driving

long term carbimazole
I currently take 5mg Carbimazole alternate days. I have toxic nodules so stopping meds is not an option. Like many people on here I have been pushed towards RAI or surgery TT. Every time I feel I get near to a decision I learn something new! I am interested in what people have been told about staying

Carbimazole and severe bloating
I've been taking carbimazole now for 3 weeks but have been having extreme painful bloating in my abdomen. Not feeling sick and bowel movements are normal if not less regular. I cancelled my appointment for RAI to opt to try tablets first but this tummy ache is debilitating. Do side effects wear off

Graves disease and RAI
They asked me to think about radio active
iodine
. I am very unsure about this. From the little I have read it can make your eyes bulge ( is that what TED is?) and you will then be on thyroxine for life. Can anyone spread any light on this?

overactive thyroid and Iodine
This contains
iodine
. I was told a long time ago that contrast agents can make an overactive thyroid unstable. Is there an alternative for this CT imaging of the abdomen. Thank you Valerie.
