C.T.Scan
I am due for a C.T.Scan, is it risky? I have no thyroid, am on 75mcg T4 and 15mcg T3. I know they inject dye which has iodine into you to do the scan, am I right in saying that you shouldn't have iodine if you have a thyroid problem or are on thyroid medication? I have been reading that the iodine can

Visit with endocrinologist this week... first after starting NDT
My endocrinologist has been in the process of changing to a new practice, so I haven't been in touch with him for a couple of months. I had full labs drawn a couple of weeks ago, and I'll be seeing him this week for the first time at his new practice. Before he moved, I was on 50 mcg of levothyroxine

Can thyroid cause red palms?
I never had bright red palms but kinda pink/ red my whole life. I had thyroid iodine last year to kill my thyroid and since have had red palms. My levels are normal with meds but I still have done mild symptoms. My endocrinologist doesn’t think thyroid though.

Flare up/ symptoms / need to induce period
So I’ve been on the increase of Armour for a week and a couple days. I went from 15 to 30. I take the 30mg at 6 am before any other supplements, go back to sleep. When I wake up, I take the rest of my supplements. Which is vitamin d, vata supplement from banyan botanicals (this is good for me, I’ve used

Hashi, milk (iodine), nexplanon >>TSH going crazy

Non-surgical management of thyroid nodules - the role of ablative therapies
Many here have asked about alternatives to surgery and radioactive iodine - and in some cases, there might be some. This paper seems to be supporting two specific options. Have to say, the phrase "treatments of choice" sticks in my throat. Possibly they have been better than the depressingly bad alternative

Hi, new to forum . over ten years I have been told several times borderline hypothyroid. I feel more and more fatigued mentally and physical , thought hrt would help , made no difference . urine iodine from biolabs was 213 = more than adequate .Therefore not lacking in iodine . is thyroxine the best

The Nutritional Supply of Iodine and Selenium Affects Thyroid Hormone Axis Related Endpoints in Mice
Good to see some more research on these issues. I suspect a lot of the standard picture of selenium and iodine with respect to thyroid wellness requires much verification and a fair bit of revision. The continuing problem is identifying what needs to be done - and how to achieve appropriate levels

Iodine deficiency disturbs the metabolic profile and elemental composition of human breast milk
Sometimes it appears that the thyroid world divides in two - on the one hand, those who avidly promote taking iodine, sometimes in prodigious quantities, and on the other hand, those who dismiss iodine out of hand. What I consider necessary is an understanding of where you are in terms of iodine levels

Why is Urine Iodine so high?
Hello hoping someone can help as worried! I’m in the middle of hormone testing and received the following result on Urine Iodine. Can anyone explain why it’s so high? Info: on Nature Thyroid for low T3 (non autoimmune), not supplementing or anything.

Being treated for Graves' Disease and wanting to conceive
Hi! I'm new here! My husband and I were hoping to start trying for a family this year but this has now been put on hold as I try and get myself in good health after being diagnosed with Graves' disease in May 2021 (positive TRAbs at 17.5 (range 0-1.5)). I have been seeing an endocrinologist who is recommending

First transfer done - now I have questions - hope you can help :)
Thanks to all of you for being so supportive throughout my first IVF cycle, hopefully you'll continue to share your awesomeness and wisdom! I of course will offer advice where I can :) On Saturday we had one day 5 early blastocyst put back in, they said as it's too early they cannot grade but are happy

Watchful waiting
A few weeks ago I posted with a query regarding RAI or surgery to deal with a large non-toxic retrosternal goitre. Thank you to everyone that replied, I found your comments really helpful. This afternoon I saw another consultant who was a bit more forthcoming than the previous one. RAI wasn’t mentioned

Good experience!
I've moved from London to Liverpool and my main fear has been how this would impact my injection treatment for wet amd. I can't have iodine & in London I was always questioned about it & made to feel I was an outlier. I had my first injection appointment in Liverpool today & noone batted an eyelid about
