Goitre & supplementing selenium & iodine
Does anyone supplement with selenium & iodine? I have a multi-modular goitre which is not really causing any problems. I do not take any thyroid medication. I have had a lot of blood tests done because I have a lot of unexplained symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, aches, brain fog, digestive issues etc

Why do I have heart palpitations with these thyroid results?
Hello beautiful people. I would love to get your input as to why I get heart palpitations, high pulse and HBP with my current thyroid and other results. Yes, my TSH is slightly raised, but it actually went down from 6.9 in Nov to 4.9 in Feb on Levo 75 mcg, so it should continue to go down. I've

CT scan iodine query
Hi. My cardiologist has booked me in for a CT cardio scan to rule out heart disease. This uses iodine based dye to show up the arteries. My question is, would that type of iodine (guessing it's a compound) impact my thyroid at all? I have asked the scan department and they've asked that I contact the

Iodine and the thyroid
Could someone help with explaining this article I found on the British Thyroid Foundation site. I eat salmon. Is this to be avoided due to its iodine content? Or is it good for hypothyroidism? I have added this to my diet over the last 6 months. Can this affect the thyroid e.g going overactive or

Not reacting well to T3
Hello All, I wonder if there are people here who have not reacted well to T3? This is the second time I'm trying to take it. First time, it was about 5 years ago when I needed to raise my T3, it was at 20% range. I took just 5mcg of compounded T3 as per my Doc advice and started to feel anxious,

My thyroid has caused me few obvious problems in that time, other than varying T3 results.Before Xmas, 2022 I had a radionuclear scan which diagnosed toxic nodular goitre. I returned in January '23 to discuss what Endo want to do. Apparently, my choices are RAI or take Carbimazole. The dose was low,
