Heartburn
Hi, I hope someone can advise please? I take 100mcg eltroxin, hypothyroid following RAI for Hyper/Graves. I've been struggling with heartburn for a while now. Was originally put on pantoprazole by g.p. then slowly weaned myself off as I was concerned about being on it for years, doctors don't seem concerned

vendor for bulk raws to mix rehydration salts?
ive been using electrolye solutions to mitigate side effects of adderall treatment such as muscle cramping, brain fog and fatigue caused by the cns stimulation, modulated metabolism, improved hydrolysis, reduced urination and and increased sweating. it works great, but they're expensive over time no

Returning to a Patient-Centered Approach in the Management of Hypothyroidism
If you watch the sea, as the tide goes out it seems to take forever. You keep thinking that it really must be low-tide. But it keeps receding. Eventually there comes a point at which it does just about stop going out, and maybe the odd stronger wave comes in a touch further than the one before. This

Pompholyx (dyshidrotic eczema) and potassium permanganate
I developed Pompholyx (dyshidrotic eczema) on my hands last year. It was diagnosed and the symptoms treated using hydrocortisone cream following doctor's instructions. It got better, but didn't completely go away. The hydrocortisone dried my skin out so much that it still hasn't fully recovered over

Advice on results please
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 2 years ago due to various symptoms and a thyroid nodule. I had RAI and the nodule reduced. I have been hypothyroid since July 2019. Started on 50mg levothyroxine, then upped to 100mg then down to 75mg as I was advised I was almost hyper. In January the nodule returned

No Longer on Medication
Not sure what happened.... About two years ago, NatureThroid began to (what I know now) start to be too much / overdosing. TSH was still climbing, but increasing dosage caused tremendous chest / heart pains. Not surprisingly Doctor said “it’s because we don’t know how much T3 and how much T4 is in

Do anyone have any advice or success stories of HEALING A THYROID NATURALLY?
I'm 42 and I was diagnosed with Sjogren's, Hashimoto's and Graves 4.5 years. My T4 was only slightly elevated and after a friend recommended I saw a homeopath (who gave me some awful brown solution) my TSH came back to life and back in to normal range after 7 months. Despite my thyroid bloods remaining

Mitral Valve
This could be a long one, so I apologise in advance. In 2013 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer so had the thyroid removed and had radioactive iodine. In 2016 it came back in the lymph nodes so I had 5 removed from “level 7” since then things haven’t been quite right. I used to run 5k quite easily

Graves or Hashimoto’s or something else??
So I have over the years, and recently, had elevated TPO antibodies, tons of hyper/hypo symptoms and blood tests that fluctuate. My TSH is often low and even out of range and occasionally my Free Ts have been out of range high. I’ve always assumed I had hashimoto’s but never been bad enough on bloods

Severe iodine deficiency & Hashimoto's
Hi all, I'm still struggling after 3+ horrible years. I have Hashimoto's and a really bad doctor took me off all meds for 2 years (2019 and 2020) and labs barely stayed in range (TSH around 3.5 (.4 - 4/5), Free T4 around 1 (.8 - 1.7) and Free T3 around 2.8 (2 - 4.4). I literally thought I was going

Update on my Endo stand off!
Hi, I posted a while ago how I’m a long term user of carbimazole 24+ years now and how my endo was trying to force radio iodine therapy on me. So I backed out of the consultation and my endo got very cross and sent my doc a letter asking ‘as this patient has refused treatment, could you monitor bloods
