Duloxetine - effects?
Hi there, I'm giving duloxetine (60mg/day) a try for endo pain management. It's day two for me, and it's said to work in 2 to 4 weeks. Yesterday, I had an upset stomach, and was very fatigued from it. Today, my stomach is fine, but I'm still rather fatigued (my ears are ringing a bit like how they ring

The longer the antithyroid drug is used, the lower the relapse rate in Graves' disease: a retrospective multicenter cohort study in Korea
Many have reported here that they have received an antithyroid medicine for a long period (whether carbimazole or propylthiouracil). However, long-term use of an anti-thyroid medicine is frequently denied. There is often considerable pressure to choose RAI or thyroidectomy. Of course, if the patient

Is my only answer RAI or a thyroidectomy?
Hello everyone. I am a 32 year old female and have been on Carbimazole for the last 9 months for Graves’ disease.

How much endo pain to endure, keeping on trying to work?
Hiya, I have a strange question about endo I hope you can help me with. I get to be one of the rare, lucky few with endo on my appendix (and colon, and other places too). I went to see the out-of-hours GP because I wasn't coping with the pain. The GP kindly gave me a remedy pack with codeine, diclofenac

Dietitian today
Hi I have had Ibs for many years, my diet is really bad. I am also vegetarian. I have been taking individual supplements, the dietitian today said, I have been taking a high dosage of each and she recommended an A to Z multivitamin and mineral. She said my guidance is Vit d. = 15 mg B12. = 1.5 mg

Studies were vague about whether washing iodine out after injection

Overactive Thyroid
Hi, just been reading everyone's comments about RAI or surgery and I am shocked that I have a choice I was told I only had the 2 options and that staying on carbizmole 5mg was not an option. I now know I am being forced by my hospital rather than being given a choice. So glad I found your posts

Salivary glands
I had RAI in july last year and now have a swollen face and neck ob one side indicating possible gland blocked. Is it common to get this 9 months after RAI or is it unrelated? Anyone had this experience?

Can anyone help or advise please?
Hi, I've had a swollen thyroid on one side for several months, the ultrasound scan I had in January found it to be about 40mm diameter. I have (as yet) had no symptoms thankfully & all blood tests came back ok so no hypo- or hyper- thyroidism. I had a FNA biopsy in January too & it was found to be "inconclusive

Duloxetine
Hi Paige, I have taken Duloxetine for 10 years. I take the highest dose of 120mg slow release once a day in the morning. I am very susceptible to drugs but apart from piling weight on I have had none. It keeps me sane. I also take Amitryptyline 20mg at night and 30/500 Codeine phosphate Paracetamol.

Neck resection and thyroidectomy
I had a left hemi thyroidectomy 3 years ago and 3 doctors at the time felt that was sufficient. My latest US shows papillary cells in the lymph nodes on the left and central neck. I am scheduled for a left lymph node resection and removal of the right remaining thyroid at Mt Sinai on 4/20. I am so nervous

Endocrinologist advice and T3 reaction
Hi there again, hope you are all well. I am looking for some recommendations and advice if possible please. So I started taking t3 alongside t4 in February (after some help from this forum) building the dose up slowly to 20mg a day alongside 100mg of Levo. I had a bad skin reaction mainly on my face

Opioid Analgesics. Withdrawal from patients already prescribed long term.
I despair when I see this need for a person to get a "High" from a drug. These are the people who are causing medication to become higher class drugs and in the case of Codeine, which I am fighting the MHRA and Depth of health, to being withdrawn from sensible patients who benefit from relief of pain
