Pain - where my pain comes from! (2)
I used to visit, my GP for annual bloods, the results = nothing unusual all normal every single year on year. My visits to the GP were mainly due to the constant pain, nightmares and fatigue, we talked in the 15 minute allocated slot to determine my future! I have Pain surely I need pain killers? I

Salivary Glands Swollen 6 Months Post RAI
Hi everyone and thanks for reading! I had RAI treatment in October of 2021. My dose was 100 mci. I immediately had swollen and painful salivary glands which subsided in a day or two. I have had no issues with them until the beginning of June. Now, they constantly swell when eating. Some days are worse

Updated Thyroid levels and new Vitamin readings
Hi, I recently posted as a Newbie (under the name Sailorbo, which I've now discontinued as I had a previous registration with the BHF). As a quick recap, had a full Thyroidectomy last September due to Papillary Cancer. I'm not having Radioactive Iodine as I already have poor saliva and it might make

Full panel and limited panel test results
I have my results back after highlighting my decision to do so on here a few weeks back. I took two panels of tests from different providers: Blue Horizon (test - Premium Gold) and Monitor My Health (MMH), both taken from the same single blood draw at my GP's surgery. Blue Horizon tested the same as

Pain support
good morning I am new to this forum. I am undergoing bloods, x-rays etc to see why I am in constant pain, but my Dr has said Osteoarthritis in my knees and possibly fibromyalgia. I have pain in my knees for approx 8 years and the rest of the pain around 2. There are days/nights where I cry in pain.

Statins and underactive thyroid
I've had an underactive thyroid after radioactive iodine treatment 20+ years ago. After a recent health check - no thyroid results - but cholesterol results are 'a cause for concern'. I'm seeing the nurse next week when I expect statins will be suggested. The results are Cholesterol 6.1mmol/l

Iodine contrast for a CT scan with Hashimoto's and reduced T3/T4 after ruptured ovarian cyst
Good afternoon! This morning I attended a hospital appointment for a CT scan to investigate the cause of my tinnitus. I didn't realise until today that I would need to be given an iodine contrast, which was administered during the scan via a cannula. Since having this done I have started to become concerned

I had the worst pain of my life last night. I couldn’t get out of bed for 1.5 hrs!
I come on here sometimes to have a good moan. I’ve had RA since i was 21. (30 yrs). Plus Iritis & Glaucoma. I’ve had an awful time the last month. First i had a very painful flare of my Iritis. Deep throbbing, burning, aching in my right eye, very bad vision. Had to go to Moorfields a&e. Went at about

Non-medical pain relief in pregnancy?
I'm 5 weeks pregnant, and my endo has been plaguing me. My GP and others keep telling me that the pregnancy hormones should kick in and suppress the endo symptoms, but I'm still waiting! I am taking token paracetamol and considering codeine, but am nervous about the potential risks so would rather

Extremely High TSH
Ten months ago I nearly left this world. A lot of stress in my life and I thought I was just run down and tired. Long story short I ended up in ER severely anemic, got 2 blood transfusions and still low blood count so continued with the iron. Upon follow up, for some reason I requested my thyroid tests

GP not really understanding
I had RAI around 5 years ago for Graves disease which I have had since 1991, RAI was considered the best option as I had relapsed 3 times and can't take Carbimozole. When I was controlled by propylthiouracil my TSH was kept around 0.8 and T4 around 20. It took two years post RAI for me to feel any

Family planning and treatment options (Graves)
I am planning on trying to get pregnant in the next year or so. I don't know if I should have permeant treatment (Radioactive Iodine (RAI) or surgery) or stick to ATD (antithyroid drugs) before hand. Hospital doctor/nurse have given me a standard RAI leaflet and explained some of the pros and cons

How long has it take RAI to work for you?
Hi All, My hyper battle has been ongoing for 4 years. First time it settled quicky with Carbimazole and relapsed after stopping, I have now been on Carbimazole for over 3 years, with the only break being for my RAI treatment. So my RAI treatment was 10th May and I restarted Carbimazole 20mg a day
