Caffeine is Evil!
Usually I can sleep 7-8 hours with no problem until the efficacy of my 24 mg of codeine starts to wear off after about 3 months. The other night, however, I had a slice of chocolate pecan pie at 8pm and it was disastrous. I was awakened 4 times by RLS and was not able to sleep comfortably until 3am

Feeling Hyper with Normal/Hypo Labs;
Hey all, It’s been a minute but now I’m five years out and still struggling. My TSH is mid range and I am on 175 mcg6x a week and now 88 mcg on Sundays. I feel this dose contradict my symptoms. For the last few months I have been waking up with my heart racing, night sweats, headache and adrenaline

Endo appt results
I don’t want to be negative but what a waste of time that appt was! I didn’t see the same Doctor as last time, they STILL didn’t have any details of my RAI treatment so we were still in the dark. He was a nice enough chap but the same answer to every question was very ambiguous so I’m none then wiser

Hyperthyroidism and AF
Most are aware there is a connection so I thought I would bring you up to speed with what’s going on with my thyroid. Rewind back to my second ablation back in early September 2018. Everything went well with no issues at all until April 2019 when I started to get a lot of short, fast runs of rapid

Specific food cravings?
Does anyone have cravings for very specific foods or tastes since having PA? When I was much younger, I had a bad case of Graves Disease and craved salt, for the iodine content obviously. Lately, I have have had unusual cravings for eggs and grits. For my UK friends, grits are a mostly southern USA

Refusing RAI
I’m interested in hearing about people’s experience of refusing RAI. What doctors have said to convince them to undergo it, and how they have responded to being challenged.

having one’s replies switched off
I was unaware I’d committed a contravention(!) and extremely relieved the only punishment was to have my replies switched off! If we’re splitting hairs about what constitutes natural, the only additives in the products prescribed to me by Dr Peatfield are: Each capsule contains: Bovine Thyroid Gland
