GRAVES
So a few mentioned this, esp when I had Hyper before the Radio Iodine, now when I went Hypo, what is the chances of still having episodes of Hyper, as I had my symptoms before the Iodine and still having them only not as often. Trying to get info to go back to GP, although not hold out much hope with

Povidone
Does anyone know whether Povidone-K should be taken with thyroid medication, it has appeared as a filler in some new blood pressure tables, I think it is iodine related, and had thought if one was on t3 and t4, you should not have iodine, is this correct

Sick to death of GPs treating symptoms and not dealing with cause- fibromyalgia is not a disease, it's a symptom
When I had serious fibromyalgia last year my GP wanted me to take a muscle relaxant and an anti-depressant. I was not very receptive, more and more of us are being "diagnosed" with similar thyroid symptoms and having them treated individually, this is pointless and endless... get the thyroid regime,

Does anyone have long term remission from GRAVES DISEASE?
Hi I’m desperately trying to get Graves’ disease into remission. I’v only managed 18 months in 8 years. I’m being pressured by endo to make a definitive decision but I don’t think either RAI or thyroidectomy will cure graves and I will be left with graves plus hypothyroidism. I get so cross at the way

I have a question about iodine as it is controversial
my iodine showed a little low such as 39 with a range of (52-109). Would that cause symptoms of weak and shaky, dizzy and off balance? I don't think i was using much salt back then as it was hurting my stomach so it is probably higher now as I am using light salt.

Eight years battling Graves’ disease and batting off endocrinologists willing me to have RAI or thyroidectomy neither of which I want as I don’t have any faith these options will cure the Graves’ disease but I’m back to endocrine on Thursday and I know they will pressure me to give them a difinative

Iodine test
Can anyone recommend the best test for iodine level? I note that 3 months ago, Humanbean suggested a (non-loading) urine test from Genova which costs £71 https://www.gdx.net/uk/product/urine-iodine. However, 2 months ago, another forum member stated that a naturopath had suggested a urine iodine test

I’ve reduced my thyroxine from 150mcg to 50mcg over the last few years. My GP is now telling me i’m Within normal range but I feel

Treating Graves Disease naturally
Good afternoon all, I'm new here and have joined after doing a mass amount of internet trawling the past few days. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in Feb 2015 and I'm sure like everyone else here it's been a real struggle adapting to life with this disease. I am currently on my second round of Carbimazole

Interesting study about early intervention for Graves Disease
I am posting a link to this study for those with Graves who are candidates for either RAI or TT. You may find it worth reading. Sending positive thoughts for your health to all. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28681142

Not feeling well after RAI
Last Wednesday I took the glowing RAIpill to remove my thyroid. It’s now Monday and I am still feeling nauseous and can’t tollerate heat. I am on beta blockers but my heart rate is still 100bpm average. How long does it take for your thyroid to shrink? How long is it until you feel ok again? Should I
