From darkness into light and almost all the way back again
I went mad in 2016. Nothing was too crazy for me. I even considered driving off a cliff. The madness was accompanied by paranoia and doubt which got very dark indeed. After several, desperate visits to my GP (who tried in vain to help) a visiting locum took one look at me and having familiarised himself

Odd Results?
Long time guys! Peculiar results today. RAI in 2014 and unwell since. Trialing 20mcg T3 and ERFA 30mg TSH 9.04 (0.27-4.2) T4 3.9 (3.1-6.8) T3 10.5 (3.1-6.8) TSH is usually well suppressed so hard to know what to make of these results. Still feel dreadful and think I’ve exhausted these medications

I wonder if my thyroid was going wrong for decades before I became hyperthyroid?
I went hyperthyroid about 19 years ago. My explanation for it has been that it came soon after the birth of my beautiful son (amazing but stressful of course) and then the sudden death of my father a year or so later. I was just rambling on an ADHD forum (DX in 2022 now titrating) and the question occurred

My daughter has a swelling on her neck, can someone advise?
My daughter has been on a school trip away from home. The teachers posted pics for the parents to see and my eyes were instantly drawn to the swelling on her neck. Obviously I'm concerned this is her thyroid. After 4 days the swelling has gone down, however I can still feel it slightly. We're booked

Looking for T2 & Thyroid granulars to supplement my meds.
Been watching Dr Westin Childs on YouTube for a couple of years now and I think he is great, from what I have learned since being in here and watching him has helped me a lot!! Now he recommends a combination of medications as to get a ‘full range’ of Thyroid ‘Goodness’ for the want of another term …

I think I’ve messed up!
Started to feel not so great. Was taking 2 grains of NDT and 25mcg T3( background RAI therapy around 10 yrs ago) I went to the doctors who took bloods. Results as detailed. I am not sure why my results are so low. I have been on the same dosage for a long time- blood results were always good! Has NDT

Can iodine affect thyroid medication test result numbers?
Hi all few days ago I was prescribed a medication for atrial fibrillation, namely Amiodarone. It's contains iodine and if I had a thyroid which I don't my thyroid would have to be monitored regularly on this medication.So by having no thyroid I do not need to have regular thyroid checks. But I was wondering

Overactive thyroid? Does reducing iodine intake in your diet help? It has for me so far.
I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid / Graves Disease in 2015. Between 2016 and 2021 I was on "block & replace" treatment - 40mg of carbimazole daily along with 150mcg of levothyroxine. My thyroid had stabilised by 2021, after which point I was taken off all medication. I relapsed with an overactive
