Levo and Sodium
Hi everyone it’s been awhile since I’ve been here. So I have a question I’ve taken the RAI pill two years ago and I’m on 112 mg of my Levo it has Sodium in it. I also have early stages of Cirrhosis and I don’t have any trace of Hep-c so I been reading up on my meds and noticed it will make my liver worse

REVEALED: UK Athletics chiefs' held mystery meeting on controversial use of thyroid medication in 2014
This post is just of general interest and does not have much relevance to our day to day thyroid issues. Sorry to quote this paper but I couldn't readily find another source of the story. [i]

Taking Levo only as I have needed it - 5 months diary.
I have been taking levothyroxine as I have been needing it since about the start of this year. If I had hyper symptoms I lowered my dose. If I was feeling weak I increased my dose. I started keeping a diary of how much Levo I take daily since July this year. This is the result - in circles, starting

Reducing T3 are these results normal?
I have been taking T3 since the beginning of the year and was doing great but my insulin sensitivity went downhill badly and I realised it coincided with being on T3 (which other people have experienced) . Due to other dietary and health changes I was hopeful I could get my thyroid to function again

Conflicting information / Need Help!
Hi again As your aware from previous post about a whole body radioactive iodine test I had done and it shows thyroid cancer recurrence and spreading into my lymph nodes. My intern Endo called confirmed that scan revealed recurrence but my thyroglobin and thyroglobin antibodies tested normal so he doubts

Medichecks mistake?
I just read the latest Medichecks email message. Normally their articles are quite helpful but I was concerned about something in this one: https://www.medichecks.com/blog/the-thyroid-diet?iitt=VuU9RM4lhMPshF6ZxFY7xF1lxIzD&utm_campaign=Thyroid%20health%20-%20discover%20the%20diet%20changes%20that%20can

I am a bit confused x I did an iodine patch test as advised by nurse as she said it may affect how my levothyroxine is absorbed. The patch has faded after 8 hours What does this mean? Thank you

Recurrence (vent)....Update
Hi everyone I was diagnoised with thyroid cancer 3 yrs ago and was always told I'm low risk for recurrence and that yearly US of neck weren't needed. I spent 2 yrs fighting Endo to get at least a neck US to make sure everything is ok because I was worried that my increasing neck pains and constant

I’m shocked!
My Endo who sent me for radioactive iodine whole body scan isn’t a Endocrinologist after all he’s a military medical intern who now works in pediatrics and I’m left without a doctor and have thyroid cancer recurrence. Can you believe this I even asked him you plan on sticking around here and he said

Dr Toft has retired.
Hello everyone. After six weeks of feeling very ill . Excruciatingly pain exhaustion migraine etc I decided to make a appointment with Dr Toft. Dr Toft has now retired and in his place is a lady called Dr A. Wow what a breath of fresh air. She treats on a person centred listen to the patient view.

Answers please!
I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s a few years ago and was proscribed 25mg of Levothryoxine along with 50mg of Zoloft. I eventually upped to 50mg on the Levo and did fine until April of this year and was upped to 75mg as I had put on weight and was lacking iodine in my diet. (I’m still so new this

Extreme TRAB levels (2577 iu/L)
Extreme TRAB levels. Hello all. I am being treated for severe Graves disease. I had I131 treatment three months ago. Since then, my TRAB levels have increased to 2577 I/L (from 40 and 255 prior to iodine treatment. TRAB should be less than 0.55, so I am tracking at around 5000 times (the maximum) normal

Findings of the 2016 Article in MedCrave on 2 June 2016 in relation to the Use of Potassium Citrate in RLS?
Anyone got information on the Findings of the 2016 Article in MedCrave on 2 June 2016 in relation to the Use of Potassium Citrate in RLS? The Study in Bangladesh showed a 100% success rate in using Potassium Citrate in RLS in 2012. Has this been proven wider or was this just another false hope for us

RAI treatment......
A couple of days ago I asked if anyone had experienced any positive benefits from having RAI treatment for overactive thyroid and there were no replies. Can this be true.....😳

Your thoughts.......part 2
The responses to part 1 were incredible and extremely helpful in enabling me to better understand the potential risks of having RAI treatment for hyperthyroidism. As some of you may know, I am actively involved with the AF Association forum which is significantly smaller than this one. However, like

Your thoughts please......
I know this is likely to be a question which is normally asked after other important issues have been considered, but at the moment, your thoughts would be welcome. I’m 73 and have AF, controlled by ablation and Flecainide as and when required. Since the late nineties, my TSH has hovered between 0.01
