The iodine question
Hello, I am pondering on iodine supplementation. The b-complex I used it buy have changed the formula to add iodine so I am trying another one. However my nutritionist friend has incouraged me to have some iodine as it is important for healthy breast tissue and ovaries. I am also reading The Period Repair

Continued debate on iodine testing
Further to my post 18 days ago https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/148900989/serum-iodine-test-uk, Ive now received some information which may reopen the debate on which test is appropriate. As I indicated in my earlier post, Genova indicated that a serum test may be better (than the urine test

Blood Test results, advice please. Hyperthyroid, Graves.
Details of blood tests since August 2021 shown. I was diagnosed as Hyperthyroid at that time with Graves confirmed by TSH ral, not tested since. Testing for vitamin levels at that time were all normal. My GP requested I have a blood test done earlier this month following a request for a repeat prescription

Subclinical Hyper / RAI induced Hypo & CBD oil?
Hello all, Getting confused - As a subclinical Hyperthyroid / RAI induced Hypothyroid person - Is it ok to take CBD oil? Have just started taking it twice a day (leaving a 4 hr gap between taking my Levothyroxine) - 1pm 2 sprays and 11pm 2 sprays - to help with occasional bouts of anxiety/insomnia

Kidney capsules to help with histamine intolerance...?

B complex recommendation
Hi there, I have been using wild nutrition food source b complex which I was happy with but they have changed the formula to add iodine which I understand isn't good if you take Levothyroxine. Can anyone recommend an alternative "clean" supplement. Thanks X

Thyroidectomy
Hi there, I would really appreciate some advice from anyone that has had Graves disease/hyperthyroidism and had a total Thyroidectomy. I tried RAI back in Sept 2021 but it was unsuccessful and then caused TED. Diagnosed with Graves disease in Sept 2018 and have been taking Carbimazole ever since.

Serum iodine test, UK
Has anyone in the UK had a serum iodine test and can recommend a postal test supplier? I had one 6y ago done by Doctors Lab via Blue Horizon but there is some doubt if it can be done via post (I await confirmation but seek options anyhow). I live well away from London where I believe it could be done

Self medicating again: Wanting to try changing 200mcg T4 to T4/T3 combo
Hi, I have had RAI so have to use full exogenous replacement. Currently on 200 mcg thyroxine. Tried armour, T4 only, but T4/T3 combo I never got right - I found my anxiety is unbearable. Trying to do it correctly this time. The fatigue and moodiness on T4 sucks, even though my endo says my labs are

Kidney Stone Update
A few folks said they were following my kidney stone story, so I thought I'd share the most recent. Things get interesting when you add a new doctor to the mix. The urologist said that because the u/s and CT images show the kidney stones and the X-ray did not show kidney stones, that the stones were
