To take or not to take...iodine?
I know this is a controversial subject, but would like to know if anyone with Hashimoto´s has taken iodine and noticed any benefits? The doctor who prescribed Erfa for me also prescribed Lugol´s iodine solution (12%). I have chosen not to take it as I have read so many times that it should be avoided

My PMR and GCA story so far...
I've had GCA twice so far, and I think I'm going down with it again at present. I've had PMR since October 2009, when I began to get a constant and increasingly painful backache after having a very bad case of the flu. The backache soon spread to my shoulders and by the end of 2009, I had to use a

Feedback on private Blood tests please, before my Endo appt..
I posted earlier this month asking for advice before I see my Endo at the end of November. I've not been feeling too great and my Endo put me on Hrt as my levels were all in range and he thinks my symptoms are perimenopausal rather than thyroid. (graves/Rai Oct 21) I feel it's a mixture of both. Hrt

Gastrografin - Yes or No?
I am due a CT Colonography and have been given Gastrografin to take prior to this. On the bottle it says "If you have an allergy to iodine do not take Gastrografin". I have Hashimotos and have been taking 100mcg Levothyroxine for many years. Should I be taking this? Has anyone had experience of

Good site for vegan nutrition info and some supplements I take
https://veganhealth.org/daily-needs/ For a good B12 source would recommend the 3 natural form supplement here : https://www.sunday.de/en/vitamin-b12/. 500mcg per day is a good safe dosage. You cannot overdose on B12 and although 500mcg seems like a lot, only an estimated 6-7mcg are absorbed of this

Toxic poppy seeds are sending people to hospital in Australia. A reminder that dietary supplements are considered as foods, not drugs
If you are using supplements to hopefully manage your CLL, here is an example of why what's natural can make you very ill and why you need to ensure that you obtain your supplements from a reputable source. Along with their use in foods and drinks, poppy seeds are the source of medically important chemicals

NDT Question
hi there, You guys were great at helping out before. I was having problems with thyroid……again. With my parents help I was able to go to a private endocrinologist and obtain Erfa NDT. So three months ago I started on half a grain in the morning, half in the afternoon. Felt great. Then we did some blood

Ashwaganda?
I just saw someone posting on another site that Ashwaganda has really helped their RLS. Does anyone have any thoughts on this please? I currently take Tramadol but only when desperate as I don't really want to be dependent on any drug if I can avoid it. However I have had to appreciate that I am taking

Can gabapentin intensify RLS?
I’ve been phasing on to gabapentin since the summer whilst I came off ropinerole (been off ropinerole for 2 months). My gabapentin dose has been at 1800mg for 3 weeks (2pm, 5pm & 8pm on Doc’s suggestion) and during the night I invariably am awake for 2-4 hours with the most intense RLS, worse than before

Night time Codeine.
Hi - I have been been on prescription 2x30mg Codeine Phosphate for about 18 months (for my RLS). They now do not work as efficiently as when I first started but I absolutely do not want to increase my dose. In fact, I would like to reduce down to 30mg a night. My tablets are so tiny, that it is impossible

Post op catheter and bowel movement
I had laparoscopy 5 days ago for excision of endometriosis from the pouch of Douglas and right uterosacral ligament. Unfortunately I was in a lot of pain post op and struggled to get out of the bed alone and ended up with 2L urine retention and went home (after a failed attempt without a catheter) 3

Iodine in Oat milk
Hi I have started using Oatly oat milk and there is 22.5ug or Iodine per 100ml. Should I be worried about this and the effect it may have on my Thyriod and medication? Thanks Lindsay

new to lupus and diagnosis: pain and what to do!
Hello, I have been diagnosed with lupus from a skin rash I get with the sun. However I am currently waiting for a Rheumatology appointment as I have chronic pain in lumbar spin, SI joint, and cervical pain. I am currently in a massive flare and I can’t find comfort. Walking gentle is ok, sitting is agony
