Update ozurdex implant 2
Had 2nd implant Tuesday. Different dr, she put this one in up in the NorthNorthEeast part of my eye. It was a bit painful going in, but then the Lucentis always were in that spot too. At least it didnt bleed as bad as last time just a trail down from the inj site. What was weird was the dr pushing on

Potassium iodide
Extensive reading brought me to "Betadine", a
potassium
iodide
solution sold in stores as an anti-biotic for scraps and minor cuts. An 8 oz bottle is about US$8.00. We bought some roll-on applicators and I began slathering it on my forearms.

Advice needed on Radio-Active iodine Therapy
I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid and Graves in 2010. I take Carbimazole a 5mg tablet and 7.5mg on alternate days, without any side affects. My last blood test was in October, results as follows; TSH 0.14 mu/l 0.3-5.0

Help with NDT / T3 dosing please, and ferritin!
Hi there, I'm 49, and was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s around 2014/15. I took thyroxine 50mcg for about a year, which didn’t help much, then increased to 75mcg thyroxine plus 10 - 20 mcg T3 per day (seems I don’t convert too well) I was actually feeling pretty ok on this dose, though not quite my old self

Really confused still....
Can anyone help? I've had most of my tests done and they don't suggest Hashimotos antibodies are: anti-thyroglobulin <6.4 (<18.0) anti-TPO <0.8 (<8.0) So very low..... I'm looking for another cause (central, secondary or tertiary). Does anyone know anything about testing for iodine, pituitary, etc?

Medicate? Still unsure...
I posted my results maybe 3 months ago. I went on WP thyroid for a couple weeks at the smallest dose possible. Stopped due to throat soreness. Decided to take iodine with tyrosine, selenium and zinc. Just retested and all the same but tsh lower. Reverse t3 is 11.5 and range is 9-27ng/dl. I didn't have

Experiencing symptoms despite being within range
Hello everyone, I'm new here - due to the presence of a nodule (follicular neoplasm, 2cm, turned out to be benign) I had half my thyroid removed in September last year. Op went well, recovery was uneventful, felt more or less fine for the first few months. I moved to Germany in March this year, went

Gynecomastia (moons)
A bit of a sensitive subject literally. I take Apixaban, Bisoprolol and Atorvastatin. I've been on them for nearly two years. Over the last 18 months I've grown moobs. I haven't put on lots of weight although I've gained about 8lbs since August 2016 - when I got married. Recently my nipples have become

RAI treatment
I have been told that when I go back to my endo in January he will most likely suggest radiation as you never go into remission twice. Is that good information? I was in remission for 6 years until 4 weeks or so ago.
