Hi I’ve just joined and struggling to find my way around so excuse me if I mess it up. I have had fibromyalgia for many years. I believe it’s all linked to having my thyroid RAI destroyed. I feel dreadful and struggle most days . I refuse to give up and give in so I often reach bad flare ups when I

5 weeks post RAI
Had RAI treatment 5 weeks ago. I should have had it much sooner as my symptoms ( all 1000)) of them raged on even with Antithyroid meds for months. My most recent bloods have shown improvement. Since Grave’s original diagnosis my TSH now registers 0.01, T4 1.7 and T3 is 3.4.. see my Endo this week and

Advice please?
Hi. I'm a hypothyroid male who was put on levothyroxine after radio iodine treatment in ever increasing doses (150mcg) when I last took them. The Levo made me feel quite awful, making me itch badly but giving me the most debilitating insomnia ever. Through research and going to forums like this I discovered

Thyroid Blood Tests with Comments
Could anyone help with comments on our blood test results? Yes, there are two of us, Meryl & Ian, with thyroid problems. Despite working on a paleo diet and vitamins, we are both still suffering from scalp Psoriasis, brain fog and a general lack of enthusiasm. This is frustrating, knowing that

Measuring iodine before you start selenium?
Hello all! I'd started selenium in an attempt to bring antibodies down (I'm following Isabella Wentz The Hashimoto Protocol) but then I realised that she says in a previous book that you should have your iodine tested before doing so, so I've stopped again. Is this the case? If it does need to be tested
