NDT first blood test results
Hi all, I moved to NDT couple months ago. I was on T3. I have no thyroid due to RAI so was keen to try the NDT for all the hormones. I have just had my first blood results back. They look like I’m just in range but still got a suppressed TSH TSH <0.01 (0.35-3.5) Free T4 9 (8.0-21) Free T3 4.1 (3.8

CT Scan with Iodine Contrast
On Tuesday, I will be having my annual follow-up CT scan for lung cancer. My oncologist has ordered it with contrast, which certainly gives a better picture of what is going on. However, a) I have had an allergic reaction to the contrast in the past (hives). The doctor has prescribed desamethasone

No salt? How’s your iodine level?
I keep reading about everyone trying to keep their salt to a minimum and that’s understandable, but does anyone worry about their iodine levels, because iodized salt is where most people get iodine, unless you are a big eater of seafood. You can take extra iodine in liquid form or kelp pills but you

Daughter 16 had a hemithyroidectomy. The removed nodule was cancerous
Dear Members, Some of you might remember that I had mentioned about my 16 year old daughter has hashis and that she had a nodule. Her her fna biopsy result was thy3f and therefore we were given an option to go for surgery or just wait. We decided to go for a hemithyroidectomy. We had a follow up appointment

Radioactive iodine treatment
I have had hyperthyroidism for over two years now and my Endocrinologist wants me to have Radioactive Iodine because i might have low white blood cells seems to me not a good reason to have RAI which usually results in having Hypothyroidism (which most do) is a bad idea anyone else had the same dilemma

Iodine in Food
Hey guys, I've been trying to cut out gluten, soy and dairy and up protein and fibre, I eat a lot of prawns, tuna and eggs, but I've just seen that iodine could be bad for thyroid issues - are these things people add to the 'avoid' list? I'd have to totally rehaul my diet again!

Allergic reaction no.3. Advice please.
Over a period of years, I’ve had one Avastin, and many Lucentis and latterly Eylea injections. Both eyes are now treated. The injection procedure itself is usually ok, but on 3 occasions the after effects have been agonising. I hesitate to use the word agony, because I don’t want to upset anyone and

High Iodine content in NI milk?
Came across this study published March 2018, on iodine levels in Irish schoolgirls, with new research suggesting this population is sufficient. Iodine content within milk was studied and appears to be very high? Can this be correct? https://www.safefood.eu/SafeFood/media/SafeFoodLibrary/Documents/Publications

Contradictory advice
Hello Over the past few years I've moved for work so changed endocrinologists, each one offering different advice. Does anyone know of a good specialist (toxic goitre) in the north of England? I'm really concerned that the current one is pushing RAI as I can't find enough information to make an informed

PA testing
Hi there, I saw an endocrinologist last summer and in his letter to my gp said he thought I may have a second autoimmune disease by definition as my b12 levels were low. I had Graves’ disease treated with Radio iodine in the past. He didn’t say which autoimmune disease but I’m assuming PA. is there a

It's weekly chat time! 25th February - 3rd March 😊 😊 😊
I got sidetracked yesterday evening watching Mountain: Life at the Extreme on BBC2, would recommend if only for the bits about Mira Rai (though the other elements were very good too!). That's her there in the picture, she's a Nepalese ultra runner. Here's some blurb I lazily copied and pasted: [i]Mira

Can Graves be controlled...How can I help my mum?
So I have a question that keeps whirling around in my head. Is Graves controllable? My 65 year old mother is having her second episode of severe symptoms in 18months. Diagnosed with Graves in 2015, confirmed with positive test for TRAb, she has been on Carbimazole ever since. Her endo is disinterested

Odd symptom - concerned
Hi, I'm new here! Anyone have dairy alternatives? I've recently started to get hot flashes, especially at night. Been reading up about comparisons between dairy and non dairy for nutritional content; all non dairy alternatives are usually fortified with calcium and B12 (in the UK as standard) but not
