The Importance of Nutritional Factors and Dietary Management of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
This paper was written with specific reference to Poland. For that reason, there will be elements which are inappropriate in other countries. My main aim in posting is not to distribute the advice contained so much as to highlight that there are at least some people who recognise that there are issues

How much iodine should be taken
Does anyone know what a therapeutic dose of iodine is? David Brownstein treats thyroid disease with large doses but the was a recent docuseries by Alan Christianson saying the exact opposite and that it is too much that causes thyroid disease. The docu series is finished but the Q&A is still on YouTube

Graves thyroid eye disease (TED) post-thyroidectomy?
Hi all, new here and would appreciate any info you may have re this issue. I've had Graves and associated TED for the past 5 years, and not wanting to be on meds any longer, and also to hopefully help the heart, I scheduled TT for end of 2020. Here is my question: since Graves is the immune system attacking

Undecided on treatment
I’ve read so much about RAI and anti thyroid drugs and I still can’t decide which route to take. I know there are risks with both. I have been diagnosed with Graves and I’m currently on Propylthiouracil. I would like to get pregnant at some point so if I go down the tablet route and end up in remission

Just expressing blood results without T3
Hi all I hope the weather is suiting and D3 soaring 🙃 Just to briefly update I've been upping levo to trial it for a good while, and up to 125 now although it always been near top,of range anyway. . And t3 near bottom I'm wondering if I'm stored up in RT3 I'm still unsure about it? Am I right

Fascinating Graves’ Antibodies Study
This is a remarkable study https://eje.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/eje/158/1/69.xml . A couple of caveats. 1. I fortunately have no experience of Graves’. 2. I have not looked for similar studies that may report different results. The study is excellent in that patients were randomly assigned

Thyroid scan
Hi, just wanted to say a big thank you for your patience and advice on here. My previous blood results were normal and didn't show raised antibodies but was advised to go for thyroid scan to completely rule out hashimotos. I went yesterday and the scan showed no signs of hashimoto or thyroid disease

Nice guidelines post Radioactive iodine
Hello everyone, I am just reading the NICE guidelines which now state that post RAI you should start patient off with dosing as per 1.6mg per kg weight. Monitoring after radioactive iodine treatment 1.7.1 Consider measuring TSH, FT4 and FT3 levels in adults, children and young people every 6 weeks

Hello all, hope everyone is keeping well during these times. Apologies in advance this is going to be a long one! I found my way here after telling a friend about how bad my hair loss was getting.

supplements interfering with medication
I know it's an obvious one but what are your thoughts/experiences with taking supplements that may interfere with, in my case hydroxychloroquine, or other RA/PsA meds? I started pizotifen a few weeks ago for severe migraine and cluster headache prevention. It worked like magic but I gained 3/4 stone

Radioactive iodine treatment uk
Hi I’m new here and live in the UK. I underwent radioactive iodine treatment twenty years ago for an overactive thyroid but now left with no thyroid function at all so have taken 150mcg synthetic thyroxine ever since. Since reading about NDT I would love to find a doctor here in the UK who would consider

How you doing guys. I hope everyone is keeping safe and well. Was just wondering if I could get your thoughts on my latest bloods? This is after taking 125mcg levo and 12.5mcg Tiromel for two months. I still feel dreadful. I don’t think the T3 has done anything for me. I’ve read that if T3 doesn
