Surgery or RAI
Hi. I’ve been told I have a lump on my lower right lobe of the thyroid which has been picked up in a RAU scan. I’m now booked for a ultrasound next week and need to decide on what I want to do : RA treatment or surgery but I’m unsure. What are the pros and cons? Possibility of cancer has been mentioned

Testosterone Therapy & Thyroid Function Issues
Would appreciate some advice on my latest bloods. For the past 6 months or so I’ve been on testosterone replacement therapy and been struggling to dial in a dose that works for me. All in all been feeling awful which I suspect is partly due to my thyroid struggling. I think I had a thyroid issue before

Occurrence and management of an aberrant free T4 in combination with a normal TSH
One of the more common questions we see is why Free T4 levels do not always correspond with TSH. Although in many ways this paper is not that important, it does provide a neat, simple check list of possible reasons for FT4 being higher or lower than would be predicted by TSH alone. The very fact that

iodine
I have Hashi, high TG antibodies. My urine iodine level is 1. Optimal is 100-200. Can I take iodine without creating a flareup? I have started to take organic iodine 231 mcg with 200mcg Selenium. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thyroid scan vs Endo - who’s right?
Hello all, strange question here. I am diagnosed hypothyroid and take euthyral (a combo pill t3/t4) as prescribed by my old endo, and everything is ok in that area. However, my old endo is unavailable and I am seeing someone new. I find some of her statements already very strange/questionable and would

Agony after injection-Remedy
I am in unbearable pain after every injection for wet AMD in left eye. I understand I am allergic to the iodine they must use during the procedure. The inside of my eyelid feels like sandpaper and the injection site is like a stone that scratches my eye every time I blink. I have tried every painkiller
