Medications that can affect thyroid function
FYI. Izabella Wentz recently sent out an article listing the 9 medications she believes are the most common thyroid disruptors. Those are: lithium, amiodarone, fluoride, HRT/estrogen, Proton Pump Inhibitors, Interferon, Accutane, Iodine (excess), Botox. I have previously heard that beta-blockers

Graves and iodine
Hi everyone, my husband’s endo told him to avoid foods high in iodine. I was wondering what multivitamin would be safe for someone with Graves’ disease? Does it need to be without iodine?

I’m new here
Hi all I’ve been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about 2 years ago and am now on 5mg carbimazole once a day. The endocrinologists that I see all say I should have RAI treatment and that I will most likely be left hypothyroid but not to worry as they can medicate me for that. I don’t see the point in swapping

Update on My take on stress free painless Injections
Had my 10th eyelea injection yesterday. After the preliminaries, eye test, scan, initial anaesthetic drops and iodine I went into the sterile room. For the first time ever, I was asked "Why are you here?" What??? I had to stop myself from laughing out loud. "By appointment and for an injection

Feel like my old self has died
Hi Feeling like I don’t really know which way to turn and would welcome any advice please. I don’t really post but read the posts daily. It’s the only way I’ve learnt anything about this god awful illness. After the RAI the Dr said i had Graves but the Dr who did my biopsies said Hashimotos. The first

Different brands of Levothyroxine.
I have been on Thyroxine since 1994 after receiving RAI but the whole experience has made me worse. Endo now has me on 75mcg but brain fatigue is a lot worse and my legs lack power. No matter what dosage I take , there is no improvement. I have now increased dosage to 100mcg- stopped taking all supplements

Restless leg syndrome Chanel 5 10pm tonight
Hi all, Tonight in Chanel 5 there is a documentary on restless leg syndrome. If you have it or even if you don’t it’s so well worth watching it or grab it on catch up. I have Graves and had RAI. I was left with secondary restless leg. When I took thyroxine it was so severe it moved to my hand. The sensation

My take on stress free painless injections
Like many of us I have had a number of different injectors and I always wonder who I am going to get. Some have been more adept than others, though the aftermath has been more or less the same, except after my 3rd injection when every bone in my face became hot and extremely painful. For the 4th injection

My cure for persistent Balanitis and/or Thrush. Stubborn penis rash that won't go away.
I found a cure for myself. Afetr suffering with this for 2 months and trying suggestions here, which failed for me, I went to a private doctor, this is the 2 things I did: 1) Applied Iodine by Betadine 60ml but any Iodine solution will do. It's a brown liquid and you mix it with around 50ml or so cold

Hi all. My hypo thyroid symptoms seem worse to me despite medication and my endo saying I'm in range. By 12pm I feel totally unmedicated?
Hi I'm really struggling with my hypothyroidism since radio iodine treatment nearly two years ago. I started on Levo but found it difficult to tolerate finally giving up on it at 150mcg with itching, unbearable insomnia and huge weight gain. I went onto Naturethroid which was tolerated better and then

Euthyrox vs.Tirosint, my first question here!
Hello, it's my first post, I'm hipo (after RAI in 2012 due to Graves) on 125mcg Euthyrox+some T3 but I not doing well on it. I would like to know if 125 levothyroxine has the same potency as 125mcg Tirosint? I would like to buy some Tirosint but I'm afraid that 125mcg of Tirosint is more potent than

Thyroid Eye Disease & Prednisone | light at the end of the tunnel? :(
I have been diagnosed with TED by my endo and she has put me on a short course of 20mg of prednisone and referred me to a ted eye specialist. (i am also taking selenium, cut out gluten and have eye drops). This came 2 weeks after an RAI scan (where they use a tiny bit of iodine) and this apparently

Feeling confused...
Hi I am new to the forum and my brain is spinning at 100 miles an hour... I just wondered if people could give me some experience or suggestions of places to look for information - it is a mine field out there and struggling with where to start. Sorry for the long post, but here is the background...

Iodine testing options
Id like to test my iodine level but have found the various, past HU responses a bit confusing. Some may also be out of date eg Blue Horizon dont seem to do it now (they did last December for £49 incl a 20% discount). Any views on the best method? Note: I had it done by blood test with BH 15 months ago
