Thyroid/Afib issues
Hi, I need some help please! I have PAF so on daily dose of 5mg warfarin but for years I've had thyroid issues which are dealt with by taking 100 mcg of thyroxin every day. Been speaking with a Naturopath lately and she told me to do an iodine test which involved dropping some iodine onto my wrist

Pregnant (4 yrs infertility and recurring miscarriage) with (?) Hashimotos - SCARED!
I've had two miscarriages in the past in 2017 (have posted before)! Had bloods 15th June 2019: TSH 0.02 T3 7.9 T4 32 and a bunch of other stuff - I basically had everything tested prior to starting IVF. Couldn't start IVF because my thyroid was crazy. Further blood tests November 2019: TSH 3.76 T4

Do we have Graves antibodies forever, even after RAI?
I was hyper in 1987, and in my medical records one endo mentioned Graves, and one mentioned Hashimotos thyroiditis. There's no record of any antibody tests, just high T4 and low TSH. I had carbimazole and PTU, but relapsed afterwards, so was given RAI in 1989, and have been very hypo ever since. I

Hyperthyroidism and treatment question
I recently got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. My doctor has told me it's either RAI or surgery and I am trying to understand whether this is the normal course of action or whether people would tend to be put on medication first. My doctor seemed very reluctant to give medication. I live in Japan, so

ask and insist
monthly injections in both eyes for over 4 years now. Gradually the "after" pain was getting worse and worse . I would mention it to Doctor who brushed me off . The last 5 injections where almost unbearable, swollen , burning eyes. The last injection kept me in a dark room with eyes closed for 36 hours

Help
I don’t seem to tolerate levothyroxine so been using iodine and was doing fine on it for a while then started feeling not good. I’d used NDT for some months two years ago but hair started dropping and also tried T3 only but same with hair fall. I’ve ordered LDN as I’ve read many people with hashis take

Too many unanswered questions - Myxedema
I thought this article would be illuminating. Yet the writers seem to be unaware of a couple of issues that we patients know about. For example, that taking iodine, if you are not tested to be low in it, can be harmful if you have hypothyroidism. For another thing, can a "poor converter" end up with

Should I reduce Levo for a few days?

Starting on thyroxine tomorrow
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

Graves
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?

My persistent mystery cough stopped in 3 days by nebulizing food grade hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
I've been suspecting that I've been exposed to Covid-19 for over a month now. I have no concrete way of verifying that because I can't be tested without qualifying symptoms. It all started with a diarrhea, headache (lower back of the head), feeling off, shoulder blade pain, but absolutely no fever.

T3 can cause you to have a heart attack
That is what a consultant enocrinologist said to me on Friday. My telephone appointment with my usual endo was cancelled and he was the substitute. I've just watched the proceedings in the Scottish parliament and it was categorically stated in the evidence given that there are no clinical reasons why

Advice on pregnancy supplements - currently taking Wild Nutrition but worried about the low iodine content.
Hi there, I am looking for view on pregnancy supplements. I really like the Wild Nutrition brand as they are developed by a nutritional therapist and are food grown but I'm worried about the low iodine content. It seems much lower than the recommendations for pregnant women. Any thoughts on whether there
