Abbreviations
Hi everyone, I’m new to all this so please excuse my ignorance. I’m not understanding some of the abbreviations, RAI I know as I had this treatment earlier in the year, what does NDT stand for? I’m finding the site very useful, much better than my consultant who leaves me frustrated and angry!!!

Late Update with my blood results - need help
I've been meaning to get back since last posts with my blood results but life catches up. I had a few probs that came up earlier this year which gave me a bit of a jolt. I had eye problems and of course it was over the weekend so I had to go to the Emergency at the Eye Hospital. After extensive tests

New test results
Hi everyone I had a private blood test done in July showing hashimotos and I also had amazing advice on here saying my T4-T3 conversion was extremely poor. I had RAI in 2011 for hyper and am now hypo. Unsure if I had graves before that. I’ve requested my medical history but it’ll probably take ages

Anyone had rashes, possible psoriasis, after starting on Levo?
Had RAI in January, started Levothyroxine 50mcg in April. Developed a dreadfully dry and itchy scalp plus numerous other weird, itchy rashes on my body. Has anyone any experience of this. When first mentioned to my consultant he dismissed it, the endo nurse thinks it may be a reaction to the brand and

CT Scan with AF
Good morning everyone. Has anyone here been for a a CT Scan whilst in AF? I have a scan next week and I've been in persistent AF for the last 3 weeks. The reason I ask is because for some people the Iodine dye causes palpitations and elevated HR. Tim

VEG 1
I've been using the VEG 1 supplement for about a year but have discovered that one of the components, iodine, is something I shouldn't supplement as doing so is likely to increase the risk of auto immune attack on the thyroid. As I have a thyroid disorder this is not acceptable to me. I need to find

Natural thyroid meds
Hi. After I had my children I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and subsequently received radio active iodine treatment (to destroy part of my thyroid) and have now need hypothyroid for 15 years. I think that in all of this time I have felt a bit depressed - or rather I struggle to enjoy myself. I wondered

Help with weight gain after reducing my thyroxine
Hi I had Graves’ disease when I was 28 I eventually had RAI in 1996. My question is thyroxine. I’ve been taking 725mcg a week. My doctor reduced from 750 2 years ago as I was hyper but since reducing I’m 2 stone heavier and depressed. I was on antidepressants Citalopram. I stopped them 2 months ago.

Vegan Supplements
This is relevant to my previous post but it seems I can't add an attachment to a reply, only an original post. However, as the supplement I take at the moment contains iodine I should stop using it as there's a suspicion I may have Hashimoto's. As I'm vegan I've been using the vegan societies VEG 1,

Non- Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism - causes
Hi everyone I was diagnosed with non- Hashimoto’s 25 years ago at the age of 25 when my GP was looking for an explanation for severe headaches that I’d had since I was a child. I had my TSH tested which came back as 25 with no antibodies present. One thing I’ve never had an answer to is what the cause

Any advice? Can’t take carbimazole
Hi all. Mine is a bit of a long story but I’d be interested in your thoughts. At the beginning of June, I started having palpitations, racing heart rate, breathlessness etc. Went to GP who did a whole bunch of bloods. All were normal except: TSH <0.02 [0.3-5] free t3 42.2 [3.1-6.8] I was put on 40mg

Levo only
Out of interest, does anyone on here get on okay with just levothyroxine if you can find the right dose? I have had thyroid problems since I was thirteen and been undertreated (although diagnosed CFS) since I had RAI when I was 17. I honestly don't know what normal feels like, how will I know when I

Any advice on a good multivitamin support
After RAI I take 125mcg levo which seems to be balanced out, my energy levels and physical capabilities are not the same as before. I'm due for another blood test soon but wondered if there's a multivitamin to help keep me optimal. I've seen that i can get a discount using a Thyroid UK discount code

Please help , im in Northern Ireland - Anyone find a really good Endo here? (Any info by private message please)
I've finally managed to get through to my GP -(hurrah! must have be a moment when my brain fog cleared)- to agree to give me a referral to see an endo. My Gp has very limited knowledge of thyroid issues , and treating by TSH only, so my symptons over the years following RAI in 2008 have been getting
