Should I supplement iodine?
Morning, I have hashimotos which I seem for the most past to keep the antibodies down. I'm very symptomatic for low thyroid function but still fighting to get some kind of help medication wise. I've got a goiter, or large cyst that's growing considerably fast. Probably about 3 to 4 cm in the last year

Presented at a ‘hotline session’ at the European Society of Cardiology

Interdependance of iron load and thyroid function
The interrelationship between iron load and thyroid function is pretty well accepted, but I post here a paper showing the effect in children (can extrapolate safely to adults I think). It underlines the need for good iron loading to help rule out or confirm hypothyroidism.

An outcome I was told wasn't possible ..
I joined this Forum shortly after I was diagnosed with Advanced prostate cancer in early 2020. Having been told by my oncologist team that my Gleeson was 9 and the cancer had metastasized to my hip and I had no chance of cure and could expect to live for another 5 years, maybe a little longer.

Advice needed on switching from T3/T4 combo to T3 only
I want to try T3 only after 4 months on T3/T4 combo. I had initial difficulties with T3 when I’d tried to add it a few times over the past years then found out here, all hail T.U.K. !, and with the help of a friend I met on this forum, that I wasn’t doing it right. (Was started with too much, as advised

What dose of daily iodine is recommended in hypothyroid?
What dose of daily iodine is recommended in hypothyroid? I have an iodine supplement that lists 150 mcg (micrograms) of iodine as 100% of the Daily Value but I have seen that some websites recommend much larger daily doses of iodine for hypothyroid patients. Thanks very much

Help with vitamins and iron status
I wrote a rather rambling post last week, probably confused everyone. Hypo after RAI, changed from 125to 100/125 levo 10 weeks ago, Endo not happy with T4 (23). Now I'm not happy. TSH 2.75, T3 4.07, T4 20.8 All bloods taken first thing in the morning fasting. I've had a problem with high ferritin

The Effects of Long-Term High Water Iodine Levels in the External Environment on the Carotid Artery
Iodine continues to be a controversial issue with some suggesting supplementation is always inappropriate while others proclaim massive doses. For a change, this paper looks at a range of iodine intakes, and not as a supplement but in the water supply. [i]Open Access Published: 31 August 2021

RAI Decision to Make
I had a TT in February due to a 1.0 cm papillary cancer nodule. The cancer did not spread. I had my 6-month ultrasound and that came back good. It has been recommended for me to have the RAI treatment because there was some angioinvasion on the pathology report. I am on the fence about it. I am worried

I need advise because I’m really struggling with life right now.
I had RAI treatment for hyperthyroidism ( graves) in April of this year. Then after 2 months I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism with a tsh of 60. I was put on 50mg of Levo for 2 weeks, then I ended up In ambulatory care because I felt so anxious, with bad headache, thirsty, and cold sweats. They moved

What are your thoughts on this multi supplement
Are there any combinations within this product that shouldn’t be taken together? There’s iodine in it, which some schools of thought say that Hashimoto’s sufferers should avoid … Thanks
