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

Good afternoon, I was diagnosed with Intermittent AF in January last year. I had my first episode in January 2021 and was Cardioverted. This only lasted 3 weeks and then I had an episode lasting approx 4 weeks which reverted spontaneously. I have had none since. I am currently suffering from right knee

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!

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

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
