Experiences with

Iodine

Thank you to all of you for responding to my request for advice,this whole thing is such a learning curve it really does take time and the kind of help/advice that you provide is so valuable. I have taken note of your comments regarding Codeine,splitting my Pred' dosage,possibility it may not be PMR

Last night I went to bed 99% free of pain in my shoulders,arms wrists and hands and so much so that I didn't bother taking Codeine which I usually do,this hasn't happened for weeks and weeks. This morning I woke up with the usual severe pain in my shoulders,arms,wrists and hands. Does this suggest to

I do suspect it was caused by iodine. A night's sleep has improved it but top and bottom lid sore. I will survive!! The taxi driver was not quite the same as the community transport drivers who look after me very well if I'm on my own.

I also wondered about the infamous purple urine and if he might have been drinking loads of iodine that led to thyroid storms. What is odd but typical of the suppression of knowledge re thyroid illness is that nobody else is suggesting it. just thought it was interesting.

Hi Ladies, Hoping you’re all ok it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I’m personally very eager to get the ball roll again with treatment and seeing a specialist, we wait so long in normal circumstances that this situation seems cruel. GP’s have been pretty good though I must say. I’ve recently

Is anyone else suffering from a rotten tooth while halfway through chemo? I would welcome any advice. I am surviving at the moment, trying to stay on Paracetamol with Ibuprofen and codeine for when necessary. The dentist says I must have swelling and a temperature before they will consider seeing me.

Any advise? Hi I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 2 yrs ago and at the time I was tested for diabetes as my levels where high. As I had aching joints, tired and was putting on weight that I could not shift, which was unusual for me. I was put on 100mg levothyroxine tablets. I was still ill and tested

I had my tft bloods done on Friday and on Monday morning (very early) had a text to contact my GP with ref to them. I had a telephone appointment with her and she said that my tsh was 14.9, my previous level in November was 9.78, so she was prescribing me 25 mg thyroxine to start on and would like retests

[/i] [i]With regards to the risk of cancer following radioactive iodine treatment, it is very easy for anyone who is trying to make sense of the literature to get confused.

When you feel so unwell for so long, apart from becoming very stoical, when you've spent so much money, seen so many people over the years and you never feel anywhere near 'right'....you just put up with it and accept less and less... but It all piles up. I'm feeling very low today and surprisingly

I was diagnosed in November with Graves’ disease, on Carbimazole and doing ok. Have just been told that this is not a long term drug and will have to think about RAI as the way going forward. Anyone been through the same situation?

Hi all :) I have femoral nerve damage as a complication from heart surgery in 2017, and have been living with chronic pain ever since. Any tips on how I can get more than 4 hours sleep a night or to make myself more comfortable? I take 8+ codeine a day, have nytol as well at night along with a cbd

I notice that iodine is one of the ingredients which I thought was not good with thyroid disease. I’m looking for something that will give me the vital minerals etc but preferably not a tablet unless very tiny. Also is d ribose recommended for Hashimoto’s.

I have been trying to get rid of a rash that has appeared at front of my anus. I have tried canesten hc cream and Timodine cream but it is not moving also there is small white spots appeared which are quite rough and when I walk they are rubbing on me. All help welcome.

I have overactive thyroid graves disease doctoers or pushing me to have Radioactive iodine treatment i really dont want it i suffer form health anxiety and really really do not want to have this treatment for so many reasons i have done a lot a research on this treatment.

They put an iodine dressing on me but mentioned that they used to say not to use iodine in hypothyroid patient's but because it's on my skin and superficial it will be fine. I have little faith in health care professionals when it comes to thyroid. So will it really be ok?

I was diagnosed Hashimoto's and take Metavive as prescribed by Dr P; it's whole bovine thyroid gland. Lately, I'm unconvinced that I'm taking enough because of being unable to shift some stubborn weight and chronic insomnia but also, I wanted to know what my thyroid status is without help, so I stopped

I’ve bought some iodine as Ives read it helps with goitres and with losing weight. Does this seem an effective method to take iodine?

I started with fibromyalgia since having thyroid problems which has got significantly worse since having radio iodine treatment about 18 months ago. I am desperate and cannot get any help or support.
