MRI with Iodine
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Currently on 10mg and experiencing aches On Wednesday I had MRI with Iodine for contra imaging. All went well, Thursday no pain at all, Friday big pains again, so iodine for me at least was good. Plus I will add I flew to Spain on Thursday. It’s just

Request for assistance in interpreting blood test when GP is satisfied but I am not, and still feel terrible...
Hello, first post here after a couple of months reading. I was diagnosed hypothyroid about twelve years ago and given radioactive iodine treatment (and little alternative - I knew very little then and was scared into it by talk of heart attacks, etc). Since then I have been on levthyroxine. My dosage

Magnesium for RLS
Merry Christmas! While I've said the below in various Replies, I thought I'd put it in a post. I've been taking at least 400mg a day of magnesium citrate for some years now, since I had it recommended to me by a relative: 600mg a day initially stopped my RLS within days, and 400mg a day (the amount suggested

Gutted after consultation
Carrying on from my previous posts, I spoke to a private consultant again tonight.

over medicated and breathless
hi, 25 years ago I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, can’t remember results but I was severely underweight,terrible tremors, sweating, resting heart rate was around 140 and had little to no voice.

help managing palpitations
I have had to stop taking Carbimazole because I am going to have radio active iodine in 7 days. I have been told to ‘manage’ my palpitations by taking propranolol. I had previously stopped taking it because my thyroid levels were down to normal (on Carbimazole) and I had no heart symptoms. But since

Feedback on private Blood tests please, before my Endo appt..
I posted earlier this month asking for advice before I see my Endo at the end of November. I've not been feeling too great and my Endo put me on Hrt as my levels were all in range and he thinks my symptoms are perimenopausal rather than thyroid. (graves/Rai Oct 21) I feel it's a mixture of both. Hrt

To take or not to take...iodine?
I know this is a controversial subject, but would like to know if anyone with Hashimoto´s has taken iodine and noticed any benefits? The doctor who prescribed Erfa for me also prescribed Lugol´s iodine solution (12%). I have chosen not to take it as I have read so many times that it should be avoided

Gastrografin - Yes or No?
I am due a CT Colonography and have been given Gastrografin to take prior to this. On the bottle it says "If you have an allergy to iodine do not take Gastrografin". I have Hashimotos and have been taking 100mcg Levothyroxine for many years. Should I be taking this? Has anyone had experience of

Good site for vegan nutrition info and some supplements I take
https://veganhealth.org/daily-needs/ For a good B12 source would recommend the 3 natural form supplement here : https://www.sunday.de/en/vitamin-b12/. 500mcg per day is a good safe dosage. You cannot overdose on B12 and although 500mcg seems like a lot, only an estimated 6-7mcg are absorbed of this

Dosing with Potassium Chloride
Hello, The potassium/sodium balance is identified as an important driver of high blood pressure. This is what I believe underlies recommendations to consume fresh fruit and veg to help high bp. The only issue is that with busy lives etc it is sometimes difficult to keep up with the 5/day recommendation
