Has anyone considered thyroid as a cause for dizzy spells?
I take lamictal, which affects the thyroid. Any drug that has interacted, lamictal is usually the culprit.I used to know someone on this drug that was handed thyroid pills. I don't think he even had a thyroid checkup. He always said it made him feel better. Actually, it always turned him into an a**

NAC and Thyroid Antibodies
Currently hypothyroid, high TgAB, TPO and TSI normal. Am on 600mcg of levothyroxine across the week. Has anyone had success in reducing thyroid antibodies by taking NAC? What other supplements do you take to support thyroid health besides vit D, iron, B12, Folate? These are already under control

My daughter's blood tests, could someone take a look please .
My daughter is 12. She doesn't have any diagnosed thyroid problems but our GP has run various blood tests due to regular nosebleeds and occasional migraines with aura. I persuaded them to check her thyroid and iron panel aswell. I've pushed for this with our family history of autoimmune thyroid problems

ERFA with added iodine
Hiya.I have recently sourced a batch of ERFA via a private pharmacy, but after reading the fine print on the bottle, I have noticed it also contains 0.2 % of iodine. I thought this would be counterproductive, as iodine supplementation is not recommended with hypothyroidism? I am now concerned about

Help with dosing ov Armour thyroid
Hello everyone, Currently on 112.5 mcg of Levo , split into two doses , and no thyroid, I am switching to Armour thyroid . I am apprehensive about dosages to start with, as I react very strongly to drugs. For example, taking Levo in one dose instead two, gives me headaches and migraine-like visual

Advice on my non-existent TSH Please
I had radio iodine treatment 5 years ago after having Graves. I am on 75 and 100 Levothyroxine on alternate days (a low dose I know). I was given additional T3 med lythothyronine 18 months ago, 5 mg twice daily which improved my quality of life no end. My thyroid levels have been fairly steady over

Thyroid Disease in Ageing Populations
A new
Special Collection
under Endocrine Connections. I have a nasty suspicion that access will be restricted by a paywall... And another nasty suspicion that those of us in the upper age brackets will strenuously deny many of the assertions that will be made. But that is rather pre-judging
