IM IN A STATE OF CONFUSION! I desperately need help to understand and actions to take following recent blood results.
My GP reduced my levo thyroxine from 100mcg to 75mcg, at beginning of March, as my TSH was 0.13 (0.27-4.2)..... T4 was21.1 (12-22) T3 was 4.9 (3.1-6.8) Of course he thinks that TSH is the most important reading , 😡 and I hadn’t the energy to dispute it . Was supposed to be retested in 6 weeks but

Reintroduction of gluten into my diet and possible iodine deficiency
Hi everyone, Following on from my post about 4 months ago and suggestions made in reply by SlowDragon and Greygoose, I reintroduced gluten into my diet as an experiment after more than two years of being gluten-free. The plan was to see if I felt any different and if my antibodies would go up again -

tinnitus and hypothyroidism
Has anybody gotten tinnitus after RAI? Over the years, mine started mildly, disappeared, returned and now it's very loud. I've recently upped my dose of Tirosint from 75 to 88 mcg, thanks to great advice I got here. Is that a cause and it will pass? Could it be due to a vitamin deficiency? Anxiously

Got all my results- what to do next??
I now have all my results back and not sure what to do next? 2003 I had graves and then took RAI. I’ve currently been on 125mg Levothyroxine per day. I’m 42 and I feel awful, fatigue, weight gain, moods, lack of interest, brain fog... joints aches, neck pain- few to mention. I’m sick of feeling like

Advice please
Recently, I've been experiencing hyperthyroid symptoms that are a bit extreme. I had RAI in January 2019, was diagnosed with Graves. Had a terrible conversion issue on levothyroxine, high reverse T3, high antibodies, and generally terrible time until February 2020. I've been seeing a functional medicine

Critique of Hypothyroidism Basics
Hi Could I get your thoughts on this summary: BACKGROUND A healthy thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones which regulate body, brain growth, development, body temperature, energy levels and metabolic functions. Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough of hormone T4 and T3, with

High TSH, mid f T4 graves ablated thyroid now on thyroxine
Hi I had overactive graves thyrotoxicosis which was ablated using Radioactive iodine. The TSH levels are currently (Aug 19) 4.42 (range 0.3-5) and free T4 12.2 (7.9-16). I have gained weight and also have PCOS but heard that ideally TSH should be lower than 2 to be optimal. My doctor said as it’s in

3rd time lucky??
Just managed to talk my consultat about not having RAI and Give the block and replace another go. He said if I have another relapse that i will have to go for it. Why do they push RAI over block and replace? Surely as we know that once it's done it's done and no going back. I am 42 and dont want to give

Monthly inj
Hi everyone, hope your all coping with lockdown. The new consultant (same clinic) I've been seeing since January after reading my notes put me on monthly inj....I think it's because other consultant kept me on 8 weekly even though they stopped inj in left eye due to scarring ( I was told)...although

Bleed during Eylea Injection
Hi, hubby had his 17th Eylea injection yesterday for BRVO. Good Covid arrangements in place and he was the first appointment 👍👍 or so we thought. He zoomed in after a temp check but patients came out and he didn’t appear! The usual excellent nurse injectors were there, who fill him with much needed

Thyroid/Afib issues
Hi, I need some help please! I have PAF so on daily dose of 5mg warfarin but for years I've had thyroid issues which are dealt with by taking 100 mcg of thyroxin every day. Been speaking with a Naturopath lately and she told me to do an iodine test which involved dropping some iodine onto my wrist

Pregnant (4 yrs infertility and recurring miscarriage) with (?) Hashimotos - SCARED!
I've had two miscarriages in the past in 2017 (have posted before)! Had bloods 15th June 2019: TSH 0.02 T3 7.9 T4 32 and a bunch of other stuff - I basically had everything tested prior to starting IVF. Couldn't start IVF because my thyroid was crazy. Further blood tests November 2019: TSH 3.76 T4

Do we have Graves antibodies forever, even after RAI?
I was hyper in 1987, and in my medical records one endo mentioned Graves, and one mentioned Hashimotos thyroiditis. There's no record of any antibody tests, just high T4 and low TSH. I had carbimazole and PTU, but relapsed afterwards, so was given RAI in 1989, and have been very hypo ever since. I

Hyperthyroidism and treatment question
I recently got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. My doctor has told me it's either RAI or surgery and I am trying to understand whether this is the normal course of action or whether people would tend to be put on medication first. My doctor seemed very reluctant to give medication. I live in Japan, so
