Opinion on TENS Machine
Hi everyone, So unfortunately Codeine just isn't doing anything for me anymore except just making me high and tired. Pain relief is non-existant. I really don't want to go on tramadol or anything stronger as I just won't be able to do my job. I was thinking about trying a TENS Machine, and I have an

My situation (a rant)
Okay, so last year I had an operation that was meant to solve a long-standing pain-related gynae problem and I had 18 months of peace, and the only time it was problematic during a period, but I thought it was normal as I've always had painful periods. Something I never thought I'd get - that is of course

Hi again As your aware from previous post about a whole body radioactive iodine test I had done and it shows thyroid cancer recurrence and spreading into my lymph nodes. My intern Endo called confirmed that scan revealed recurrence but my thyroglobin and thyroglobin antibodies tested normal so he doubts

Medichecks mistake?
I just read the latest Medichecks email message. Normally their articles are quite helpful but I was concerned about something in this one: https://www.medichecks.com/blog/the-thyroid-diet?iitt=VuU9RM4lhMPshF6ZxFY7xF1lxIzD&utm_campaign=Thyroid%20health%20-%20discover%20the%20diet%20changes%20that%20can

Iodine patch and hypothyroidism what does this mean??? Does it effect how I feel
I am a bit confused x I did an iodine patch test as advised by nurse as she said it may affect how my levothyroxine is absorbed. The patch has faded after 8 hours What does this mean? Thank you

Recurrence (vent)....Update
Hi everyone I was diagnoised with thyroid cancer 3 yrs ago and was always told I'm low risk for recurrence and that yearly US of neck weren't needed. I spent 2 yrs fighting Endo to get at least a neck US to make sure everything is ok because I was worried that my increasing neck pains and constant

I’m shocked!
My Endo who sent me for radioactive iodine whole body scan isn’t a Endocrinologist after all he’s a military medical intern who now works in pediatrics and I’m left without a doctor and have thyroid cancer recurrence. Can you believe this I even asked him you plan on sticking around here and he said

Dr Toft has retired.
Hello everyone. After six weeks of feeling very ill . Excruciatingly pain exhaustion migraine etc I decided to make a appointment with Dr Toft. Dr Toft has now retired and in his place is a lady called Dr A. Wow what a breath of fresh air. She treats on a person centred listen to the patient view.

Pain relief
Hi guys! Im after some advise and guidance on pain relief, I have extreme pains including severe sciatica with my endometriosis. I tried a TENS machine but this made things worse and heat therapy is becoming less and less effective unless I'm burning my skin (more of a distraction from the pain). In

Pain relief for liver disease sufferer's.
Hi All, After reading recent posts on pain relief, it seems we are all being given different advice on suitable medications that are liver friendly.

Answers please!
I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s a few years ago and was proscribed 25mg of Levothryoxine along with 50mg of Zoloft. I eventually upped to 50mg on the Levo and did fine until April of this year and was upped to 75mg as I had put on weight and was lacking iodine in my diet. (I’m still so new this

7.5mg might not be enough
It's almost 4 weeks since I dropped to 7.5 x 7 from 7.5 x 4. I posted a few weeks back about aches and pains and can't find the post. I am more and more thinking my pains are PMR. Yesterday and today I am not keeping on top of it and over last 10 days have taken the last of my codeine stash x once per

RAI treatment......
A couple of days ago I asked if anyone had experienced any positive benefits from having RAI treatment for overactive thyroid and there were no replies. Can this be true.....😳

Your thoughts.......part 2
The responses to part 1 were incredible and extremely helpful in enabling me to better understand the potential risks of having RAI treatment for hyperthyroidism. As some of you may know, I am actively involved with the AF Association forum which is significantly smaller than this one. However, like

Constant pain & blood results
So I’ve spent the past 4 years in constant pain with my right hip and have been on codeine 30mg/500mg for the same amount of time. I recently had a labs worth of blood tests done, with the doctor’s receptionist coming back to me with ‘vitamin D deficiency’ and a years prescription of 20,000 ui Vit

IBS basics for beginners
Dear all, I have recently been suffering from excess burping and stomach pains for which I became dependent on Nexium for a couple of weeks. I have recently found that this is due mainly to changing from almond milk to lactose free milk, and also because I have been drinking a lot of decaff tea and

Your thoughts please......
I know this is likely to be a question which is normally asked after other important issues have been considered, but at the moment, your thoughts would be welcome. I’m 73 and have AF, controlled by ablation and Flecainide as and when required. Since the late nineties, my TSH has hovered between 0.01
