Stopping thyroxine pre RAI treatment
Good afternoon I am going to have a six month check-up in November after having a total thyroidectomy and RAI treatment for cancer. I would like to know if I need to stop taking thyroxine and go on a low iodine diet before my next scan and possible further treatment. I have found varying opinions on

First Post, DME sufferer with approx. 40 injections
Diagnosed approx. 4 years ago, diabetic for the last 30 years. Had avastin injections in left eye for a while, then both eyes were treated and the right eye cleared completely after about 12 injections but left eye still has leakage. Ophthalmologist recently switched to Eylea so I think I'm on my 6th

Highly Illogical Captain. A GP explains why he relies on Thyroid Stimulating Hormone to measure thyroid performance.
Patient: Doctor, why do you measure Thyroid Stimulating Hormone? GP: Thats an easy one. TSH is a reliable indicator of Thyroid health. Patient: So, does the TSH come from the Thyroid gland then? GP: No, it comes from the pituitary gland. Patient: So is TSH a thyroid hormone? GP: Well no, it comes from

Thyroid and low GFR
I was treated for hyperthyroidism in 2004 with iodine. I am now hypothyroid. I am also CKD 3. My Endo recently changed my meds and my recent labs indicate that my level was at 8.6. Way too high which really means way too low. My meds have been since changed. My question relates to Thyroid and GFR level

In, out... in, ?
Went into Christie's as an emergency a week last Monday -things moved fast that day, ascites drainage and onto Ward 14 later that day. Was supposed to have a clinic appointment following day but told that someone would come and see me. Hubby went along at 5 to find all shut down and gone home.

Under-active thyroid
Hi. Two years ago, It has been diagnosed indirectly by blood test that my thyroid is under-activate and the TSH was 11. May be I have this condition but I have not notice that. I took Thyroxine 25 mg for two monhs but I did not retest my blood to check TSH again until one year later. The second test

Still not feeling well following RAI in January
Hello all. Am really struggling following RAI treatment in January and would welcome any advice. I was diagnosed with Graves 7 years ago and prescribed Carbimazole for 1 year and my Endo then stopped it and said to 'wait and see'. I relapsed and he suggested RAI which I resisted. I then took Carbimazole
