Confused with TFT results when taking T3
Hi all, It's been a good couple of months since I last posted as I've been patiently waiting to do my next TFT. I'm confused as to why my TSH is still high when I'm taking T3 and i'm not sure what to do next? I thought T3 suppressed TSH levels?? I feel a lot better than I did back in Dec/Jan mood wise

3.6cm thyroid nodule, fight to get it removed...
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone's been in a similar situation that can share some advice I have a nodule on my thyroid that's 3.6cm, I've had FNA and all came back OK but since had an iodine uptake scan and it showed the nodule is hot and effectively has caused the healthy part of my thyroid to switch

Radioactive iodine versus surgery.
What are your experiences of Radioactive Iodine or surgery for Graves’ disease. I am trying to decide which one to have.

Sore neck, hard to swallow..
Anyone ever have a sore neck, difficulty swallowing when adjusting levothyroxine dose? I've had RAI 20+ years ago. But since I've needed such a random dose adjustment after sudden overmedication. My neck where my gland would be has become sore. Hard to swallow but when you push on it, it's sore. Just

Iodine Testing
Hi Can anyone recommend an Iodine test? I have read that a 24 hour loading test is the best and to also test for Bromide and Flouride as they can block absorption but I'm not sure where to get this done. Many thanks!

Iodized or non iodized salt in hypothyroid ?
Which one should we use? In USA we get enough iodine from our food. Recently I saw a non-iodized Salt and purchased it thinking that people with thyroid should avoid iodine. Your thoughts please!

How to reverse high antibodies?
Hi, I an unsure whether I can share my experience and what I am allowed to say. However, I went to a naturopath for 8 month and my antibodies went through the roof under his care. I had Hashi antibodies but only 50 before I started this journey. I am trying to get an appointment with a qualified endocrinologist

After total thyroidectomy RI treatment, good idea?
I’ve had all of my thyroid removed and some thyroid cancer around my windpipe. It has been recommended I have radio active iodine treatment. I am taking 125 levothyroxine at the moment but have only been on them for 4 weeks. I would be interested to hear what anyone has to say about this situation

Is it safe to take Biotin Supplements to try and promote hair growth & reduce thinning.
Hi! Can anyone in the know about vits & supplements advise or give their thoughts on taking Biotin supplements please... My hairstylist has recommended me taking it to help with my hair thinning, but I have read it can alter your blood test results, so I am presuming rightly or wrongly, that it can change

Hi, so glad I found this site
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed a week ago with under active thyroid after taking radiation iodine back in October for Graves’ disease, to say I’ve had a bad couple of months is an understatement but finding this forum is going to help me a lot I hope, I’ve been put on 75mg levothyroxine only 6 days in

Iodine
Hi A quick summary, I had a partial thyroidectomy 20+ years ago. Currently take T4 and T3. But I also have to take calcium because of low blood levels. I take seaweed calcium because I’ve read it’s better for bones (I have low bone density), but I’ve just noticed it contains iodine. And I’ve seen

Thyroxine/iodine
Hi - I no longer have my thyroid and my last bloods were in the normal range. I just bought some multi vitamins which have 100% RDA of iodine from kelp. Is this OK to take??
