Hyper + Neutropenia
Damn, I knew it was too good to be true. My thyroid came under control with carbimazole within a matter of weeks. I thought that was too easy! I know have neutropenia. My neutrophils are at 0.1 (range 2 - 7.5), which doctors have assumed is caused by the carbimazole. My thyroid levels on Sunday 15 March

High Free Thyroxine
The kind and generous people on this forum have taught me all I know about thyroid generally. Thank you! Now, I really would be grateful for your views on my personal condition. Diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2014 I underwent RAI Therapy in 2016. From the outset my blood results were anomalous.

I live in Australia. I am aged 66. I was diagnosed about 3 years ago, with an overactive thyroid. I was told that my reading should be between 10 and 20 and when I had my first blood test it was 79. I had been taking mollecular iodine drops for a period of 3 years or so, as I was told I was deficient

Gargling for upper respiratory tract infections
Random trial reported below. Not Coronavirus but may reduce viral load in throat which has been reported to be initially high in the throat for Coronavirus, see second extract. Gargling with salt water is common in UK for throat infections. If I get a sore throat I think I will try gargling with a high

Research on Links between Fibromyalgia and Thyroid
Can anyone point me towards recent research on links between thyroid health and fibromyalgia please? I started with fibromyalgia since having thyroid problems which has got significantly worse since having radio iodine treatment about 18 months ago. I am desperate and cannot get any help or support.

New nodule after total thyroidectomy
I had a total thyroidectomy in August, RAI in September followed by full body scan which showed uptake only in thyroid area. I had an ultrasound last week which showed a small nodule with vascularity. Doctor doesnāt want to āover treatā so weāre doing another ultrasound in 3 months. Has this happened

I was told I had Graves, but TSH Receptor antibody tests just in. Was it Hashi's all along?
I just had my Medichecks TSH Receptor Antibodies result (the first time I've had this done) The doctor's comment was "Your thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies is normal. This is reassuring as these antibodies are positive in autoimmune thyrotoxicosis such as Grave's disease hyperthyroidism

Iodine dressing and thyroid tests
Hi quick question, I was bit by a small dog this morning and was sent to minor injuries unit by work. They put an iodine dressing on me but mentioned that they used to say not to use iodine in hypothyroid patient's but because it's on my skin and superficial it will be fine. I have little faith in health

Iodine and goitres
Hi Iāve just been diagnosed with having multinodular goitre. I also have an underactive thyroid, take T3 only and feel well. However I still cannot lose weight. Iāve bought some iodine as Ives read it helps with goitres and with losing weight. Does this seem an effective method to take iodine?

Questions about types of scans.
We've done 2 PET/CT scans this year. One in May and one in August. I'm trying to avoid another one. Can anyone say why a PET/CT is better than asking for a full body MRI. At this point we are trying to avoid any more radioactive tracer in his body. We will do it if needed. We've had MRI's in the

Should I be referred? GP says no...history of Graves
Hi everyone I was diagnosed with Gravesā disease in 1999 and eventually had radioactive iodine treatment. This seemed to work and I have been having yearly blood tests to monitor things. 18 months ago I hit menopause (Iām 54) and my skin became really dry to the point of eczema and puffy swelling around
