NO ENERGY & UNDERACTIVE - HERE IS MY READING

Immune system post-TT or RAI?
If you 'resolved' Graves with TT or RAI some time ago - do you feel like your immune system calmed down after? Or do you feel it got worse? In theory thyroid antibodies should decrease after thyroid removal, but I wonder if an immune system messed up enough to attack one organ might just pick a different

Potassium for Ectopics
I was just wondering what is the dosage that most people here take for Potassium where you can see a significant improvement in the ectopics frequency? I just received my Amazon order - Potassium Citrate 99 mg and I'm looking forward to see how it will improve my problem..

8 years of not knowing
Hello. In 2012 I was diagnosed with graves disease. Carbimazole wasnt helping and I was given RAI and now have UAT. For 8 years they have struggled to get my dosage right, I've been as low as 25mcg of thyroxine and I am currently on 275mcg thyroxine. This changes constantly. My most recent bloods show

Duloxetine . Side effects ?
I have finally seen a Consultant after a year of failed appointments etc. As I am in my late seventies I saw a Gerontologist (don't know if this is right) and what it boils down to is my taking of NDT . The elephant in the room . I have a tremor and don't sleep because of you guessed it . My NDT . I

Hypo symptoms flare after RAI, anybody?
P.S. Would love to hear from fellow post-RAI sufferers. Has anyone also experienced a sudden accumulation of symptoms years after, like exhaustion, joint pains, swollen belly, tinnitus, brain fog &weight gain, eyesight change. (I think they're all covered...) I feel like I've aged at least 10 years in

what vitamins, minerals are good for joint pain linked to hypo.?
In 2018 my hypo symptoms, many years after RAI (in 2010) -- some weight gain and tiredness -- worsened quickly, starting with stiff finger joints. Then in one month I gained 7 kilos while eating very lightly. 2 months later, back pain from stiffness. So I know it's not due to arthritis. My last endo

Iodine drops
Hi, I’ve heard from few natural holistic practitioners that taking iodine drops daily helps with thyroid illnesses to boost energy levels. Can anyone elaborate or have any useful info regarding it or experience in taking iodine drops for their thyroid health. Thanks

TSH after RAI treatment.
Just wondering is there a pattern to how the TSH performs following RAI treatment. I had RAI in 2008. Presently my TSH is very low/suppressed. As to be expected my Gp has reduced my levo from 100 to 75 mcg. And seeing Greygoose most comprehensive response to Supul , I know my thyroid has been mismanaged

So scared of starting PTU
I have a hot thyroid nodule which makes me hyperthyroid. I had RAI at the end of 2017 (don't want surgery) and while it greatly improved my condition I am not fully cured. I am 38 years old and just found out I am pregnant. So my doctor will be changing me from methimazole to PTU, half a pill a day.

Blood test redukts
Hi everyone I am in absolute shock. The GP has just rung me about reducing my levothyroxine down to 100mcg from 125. I said I was not happy about it and she said the usual because my TSH was very very low she had to do it. On pennyannies great advice I said in the nicest way do you know I have had RAI

Here is an extract what I read on Gutsense.org re salt
Moderate consumption of salt. Salt was always prized as one of the most valuable foods. The Roman centurions were paid salārium, or salt money (either in salt or money to buy salt). The table salt in the American diet is the sole source of iodine, a trace element essential for thyroid health. Salt is

Changing from Levo to NDT
Hi All, Can I ask those of you that did not get on well with Levo and changed to NDT, what changes did you notice? Especially those who have had either TT or RAI. Just curious. Thank you.

Blood test results
Hi everyone. I’ve had some test results back. I had RAI in 2011 for hyperthyroidism and I’m therefore hypo. I’ve never really felt healthy since and in more recent years have got worse with aches and pains, anxiety, low energy levels, weight gain and more. So as you can see, B12 is low so I know what

Will I ever feel like my old self again?
Hi I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer after a TT and had RAI last month. I thought after RAI I would magically return to my old self but it just hasn't happened. Im constantly worrying that the treatment hasn't worked, I don't find out until the end of the year when I have my scan. I try to keep myself

Hi everyone, am new to this, I just wondered if anyone else suffers from this with Graves’ disease
I’ve recently been diagnosed with graves, am not on any treatment at the moment after having iodine treatment before Xmas. Does anyone suffer from joint pain? My hands and feet ache a lot. And I feel like my legs are really heavy , I am struggling to get regular blood test done because of the COVID,
