How long between does changes?
Hi all 8 weeks ago I started 75mcg of levothyroxine daily following overly successful RAI. I think they left me too long before starting medication as the wanted to be sure the RAI had worked this time as I was slightly hypo before the treatment due to over medication. when I started the Levo my Tsh

Hashis and Graves? Watch and Wait has now caught up.
About 15 months or so, I had an appointment for a thyroid specialist as my thyroid tests pointed towards Graves. I had been hypothyroid for about 17years when my different results meant my gp prescribing less and less levo. When the amount became 12.5mcg, (after an original 150 mcg) I asked to be

Can thyroid function recover after RAI
I received RAI in 2010 for alleged nodules but then consultant thought I may have had Graves disease instead. Over the last 13 years, I have had my levothyroxine reduced from 150 to 100 and I fear it will be reduced again. I am 55 years old. My question is why does the doseage need reducing? Is it

The uptake results are in... and more confusion
I've received my uptake scan results today, which I was expecting to show a toxic nodule or few. Instead the report states..... There is uptake seen throughout the thyroid gland with relative increased tracer activity on the right when compared to the left, however, no focal nodule is seen. Thyroid

Help!
In the last few years I have put on a lot of weight on my stomach.. but have very slim arms and legs. My waist is now 48 inches. I cannot wear anything that zips up etc around my waist. I am normally a 32 inch waist. I have had my pituitary gland looked at, and it is slightly enlarged, but nothing

Vitamin and mineral supplements? My latest results
Hi all, I've just had my latest Blue Horizon results (see image) which I would welcome comments on, particularly regarding the vitamins and minerals I might need to supplement. All blood tests were done no later than 9.30am, no levo for 24 hours before. I've worked really hard this year on my diet, but

RAI and persisting inflammation research
Not sure if this has already been posted, but will definitely be following this: BTF research award: 'Does persisting thyroid inflammation explain poor quality of life after radioiodine therapy (RAI)?' https://www.btf-thyroid.org/btf-research-award-winner-2023 Just reading the title I thought OMG

Blood Results - and poor treatment/support from NHS - feel lost and unwell
I have been diagnosed severe Graves with high antibodies for about 8 years and suffered a number of relapses where usually end up in A&E. Due to reading a lot on this forum and other websites I have refused RAI treatment due to the often poor outcomes and don’t really want surgery either as read about

Typical…
Started taking magnesium supplement from the supermarket and slept really well and felt more relaxed and less joint pain. Have only been taking half a tablet every night for about three nights, with the intention of building up to a full tablet slowly. Today my bladder seems to be irritated, running

Iodine
I know there are discussions about the possibility of worsening Hashimotos but would there be a problem having a very low dose of it whilst on T3 and T4 meds if careful?

On Lithium, have hypothyroidism,no longer responding to T4 and less to T3. Starting low iodine diet.
I have just started a low Iodine diet as set out by a recent book advocating this to reset the thyroid for Hypothyroidism patients. I have been on Lithium by Bipolar for 15 years. 7 years ago I developed Hypothyroidism. Initially I partially responded to T4 but after 3-4 years I completely slowed down

Ramblings of an old Parky , Vitamins and finding a professional methodology
I have read so much information on this theme that I should know the subject, but I do not , and the more I read the more I appreciate those professionals that study and research it . My general understanding is that in the past a diet resulting from a complete lack of a particular vitamin would cause

Advice urgently needed: Endo reducing levo dose yet again based on flawed blood results.
Hello everyone I had thyroidectomy 1992 and since then been on levothyroxine. Roughly, 6 weeks ago levo dose was reduced by GP from 75/50mcg alternate days, to 50mcg daily due to T4 being over range. A very toxic iodine based medication I'm prescribed to treat afib, namely Amiodarone, is pushed T4 over

Iodine Uptake?
I need to use iodine solution, but am not sure what "absorption of iodine from this solution may lower the iodine uptake of the thyroid" means in terms of my hypothyroidism. Does the reduction of uptake mean that I will be more hypo, or less?
