14yr old - Don't think all the necessary blood tests have been carried out
Hi, I'm writing here about my 14yr old daughter. In November, I took her to see a GP, where her tiredness was discussed. GP said she would request thyroid blood tests. 2 weeks later, she had a nurse appointment for bloods. A couple of days later, I received a letter from the surgery, saying that some

UPDATE New Endo/ Labs
Hi everyone I finally went to see new Endo at John Hopkins Hospital who (Only specializes in thyroid disease and thyroid cancer) for my second opinion about possible thyroid cancer recurrence from a November Radioactive iodine scan. Good news he is confident that reoccurence is probably not happening

Is my diagnosis and treatment correct?
I have been diagnosed with an over active thyroid due to a multinodular goitre with an overall grading of U2 in October 2018. On 22 March 2019 I received Iondine-131- treatment of 555 MBQ. After treatment my thyroid became more over active. I am having a consultation with my Endocrinologist this Friday

RAI or Neomercazole
I have been diagnosed with Graves Disease and need to decided whether to try take the meds Neo-Mercozol for 18-24months which I believe as a 50% chance of working or RAI. I am so confused. Has anyone had success on Meds? Has someone done RAI and wished they didnt?

Can a private endo refer me for NHS treatment?
I’m trying to avoid the long wait to be referred to the endo on the NHS, and then another wait to be referred for radioactive iodine. If I see a private endo can s/he refer me to an NHS hospital for radioactive iodine?

Untreated hyper- A&E?
I’ve had an overactive thyroid for many years. Only recently (within the past year or so) have I had issues with the medication killing my white blood cells. Therefore I had to stop taking it. My thyroid is currently untreated. I’m currently waiting to be referred for radioactive iodine (I’m not sure

Treatment With Intramuscular Levothyroxine in Refractory Hypothyroidism
Given the regular appearance of patients who appear unable to tolerate levothyroxine, I thought this paper had the potential to be very interesting. And indeed the abstract is fascinating - as far as it goes. The full paper will be accessible in PubMed Central from 01/06/2020. [i]Eur Thyroid J, 8 (

Post circumcision care.
I am on my 5th day of post circumcision and I use hydrogen peroxide and iodine to clean the wound I also use BNT antibiotics cream to dress it and wrap it with grazes. However when I'm changing the dressing the grazes tends to stick to the wound and cause bleeding, is there any way I can prevent this

Feeling Hyper with Normal/Hypo Labs;
Hey all, It’s been a minute but now I’m five years out and still struggling. My TSH is mid range and I am on 175 mcg6x a week and now 88 mcg on Sundays. I feel this dose contradict my symptoms. For the last few months I have been waking up with my heart racing, night sweats, headache and adrenaline

Endo appt results
I don’t want to be negative but what a waste of time that appt was! I didn’t see the same Doctor as last time, they STILL didn’t have any details of my RAI treatment so we were still in the dark. He was a nice enough chap but the same answer to every question was very ambiguous so I’m none then wiser
