Ablation review + thyroid review......
This last few days have been a bit busy with telephone reviews so, for those interested, here is an account of progress. In January 2020, I had Radioactive Iodine treatment (RAI) for an overactive thyroid. Latest blood tests indicate that with the exception of TSH level, T3 and T4 levels reached normal

Failed Radioiodine
Has anyone had RAI and have it fail? I had my treatment on the 24th Sept. Bloods 3 weeks later were normal, however my heart rate has rocketed in the past few days. My resting is usually mid-high 50's, now it's hovering around 100 and I'm having to use propanolol for the first time in months. Just wanted

Zeroing in on optimal dose of Synthroid/Cytomel combination.
I've been tinkering with different thyroid drugs & doses since the NP Thyroid went sideways in March 2020. I think I'm close to my optimal dose and the good news is that the RT3 decreased from 32.5 to 23.8 mg/dL. Current dose: 112 mcg Synthroid & 20 mcg Cytomel. Background is that I had a full thyroidectomy

I’ve now been on Levo since April following RAI in January. First off I want to say thank you to all those generous people who have offered information and assurance. I’m finally getting to follow your advice regarding early morning blood tests, when I mentioned what I was doing to the endo specialist

Help needed
I’m going thru a really bad rough spot right now . I’ve been on opiods Codeine and Tramadol for about a year with mediocre success. I’ve been thru the augmentation with Ropinarole, don’t want to go back there. It seems that things have been gradually going downhill for me and on a friends advice I added

Overwhelming Pain (I am new)
First, my screen name, say it like this `eye see you a lot`! I have had kyphoscoliosis, which causes overwhelming pain in my lower back. Recently I had Radio Frequency denervation, it did not work. I have also suffered for a long time with pain in joints, muscle weakness, and spasms, headaches, upset

Iodine and thyroid function
My good friend has an iodine deficiency along with an under active thyroid. She has been taking doses of iodine daily. The last week she has been increasingly fatigued, some “brain fog”, weight gain, even affected her eye sight. Is this something that is normal? Is it safe for her to take the iodine

I hate my GP - making me feel like a drug addict
Just came off the telephone with the third GP I have spoken to in the last few months. I asked her to prescribe me either Tramadol or Codeine as the only thing helping me at the minute is taking shop bought Co-codamol and Nurofen Plus. I have tried Pramipexole and also now on Gabapentin 900mg. She said

Thyroid and Ringing Ears
Hi I would like to ask if constant ringing in one ear could be yet one more symptom of thyroid dysfunction. I am originally Hyperthyroid due to Nodules overproducing and I take Carbimazole 5mg Monday and Friday 2.5 mg Wednesday. Now aiming for 5mg twice a week. Latest results from a week ago TSH 2.48

Lap yesterday
Hi everyone! So I had my lap yesterday and my consultant said she found some endometriosis but didn’t tell me where! She said it’s stage 2 and I will have a telephone conversation to go over it in more detail. She did diothermy to kill the tissue and said it went well. I had to stay in because I was

My nightmare after taking Amitriptyline
I had never heard of Amitriptyline until my doctor suggested I take 1 every night to help with lower back pain....the only thing she really said was make sure to take it at night as it will make you sleepy..."Fair enough." I said and I left with my new medication to add to the collection. I am already

Augmenting on everything
Hi, I've been on codeine phosphate 60mg for the past 6 months and it's been fantastic but once again I seem to be augmenting on it, I've augmented on everything, tramadol, dopamine agonists, etc.. I really thought codeine was going to work this time, iron supplements really helped over the past 2 years

Hashimotos thyroid
I know I’ve asked many questions before as this year has felt like hitting a brick wall going from a completely feeling 28 year old female, always on my feet working or getting to go out and be with friends and family to now being in constant pain and barely making it out of bed sometimes overnight.
