People of HU - 'A day in a life' living with IBS
After lunch, I take 200mg calcium citrate with 2.5mcg vitamin D, and, on days that I don’t eat fish, 150mcg
Potassium
Iodide
for thyroid support, due to the lack of dairy in my diet. Around once or so a week I treat myself to free from Madeira cake.

Why RAI
Hi, I had RAI treatment after two and a half years on carb. because my consultant said if I continue carb. It would lead to liver failure. RAI is ok. You have to watch your weight increase. It's not a cure all. My symptoms apart from tachycardia still exist. Some are known to worsen after RAi such as

Does anyone else find?
In 2003 I was diagnosed with over active thyroid. I received RAI treatment which knocked it under. I went onto Levithyroxine which for years seemed to be okish. Then three years ago it stopped working . We tried anything and everything and have currently settled on Teva liquid Levithyroxine which though

Poor nail quality
Does anyone else have extremely poor nail quality? My nails are in a terrible condition..if they grow 1 mm, they split and break. They look like I do 15 hours of manual labour a day. I have considered acrylic nails but think that would only make matters worse. This is accompanied by increased hair

Elevated TSH despite its suppression
I had papillary thyroid cancer 4 years ago with local lymph node metastases. I had a complete thyroidectomy and underwent radio iodine therapy. I take a high dose of T4 and normally my TSH level is 0.5 or below. In two recent blood tests my TSH was around 6mcUI/ml, just above and below, and T4 was at

Iodine
I’m just about to order iodine from Amazon. Can anyone help with type, amounts needed etc. I can’t eat fish so struggle to get much iodine naturally.

Does anyone has this rare kidney disease (familial hypercalciuria, hypomagnesemia and nephrocalsinosis)?
I have been diagnosed with a very rare kidney disease since day 1 which called familial hypercalciuria, hypomagnesemia and nephrocalsinosis. Not a single doctor figured out a way to treat my condition or in other words nothing worked for me like: (sodium citrate, potassium citrate, potassium bicarbonate

Can you have a delayed allergic reaction to iodine?
Hi all! I had my laparoscopy on Thursday (found and treated stage 2 along with cervical ectropion - the relief is sky high!) but I've developed a strange rash on my tummy, it's small bumps raised, quite red. Seems like it could be the iodine as that's where it's worse. Has anyone else had anything similar

I want to get rid of this disease ASAP. How can I do? I'm really disappointed with my hyperthyroidism.
I have been hyperthyroidism since six years ago. I think I didn't take medicines regularly, my heart is beating very fast. How can I do? Because of the side effects of radioactive iodine, I'm afraid to treat it. Now I take Carbimazol vs Propanol. I can't go to hospital because of my country's conditions
