Ongoing fatigue following thyroidectomy due to cancer
In 2019 I had a full thyroidectomy and RAI treatment due to cancer. Since then I have had problems with fatigue, which I understand is not unusual after this type of treatment. I was given125mcg Levothyroxine initially but this caused near hyperthyroidism, I am at present on 100mcg but find I am still

T3 only - Thyroid less.
Hi my thyroid was removed approximately 6 years ago thyroid cancer. Radioactive iodine followed straight after in a cell for 3 - 4 days and lucky I appear to be free of cancer. I have a resistance to T4 so have only ever taken T3 120 ug spread over the day. My problem is the feeling of total exhaustion

Armour or the single pill - hair loss
Hi Has anyone got Hashimotos and tried Armour or been on the progesterone only pill? As about three months ago I went from NP to Armour NDT as my TSH was nearly 4.5 taking 1.5 grains of NP (I have always taken 1.5 of WP and done ok on this) But then at the same time I also changed from the depo injection

Just received the full copy of my blood test where I can see my TSI
My TSI is 1.20 (0.00 - 2.00) Does it mean that I ddi not have Graves and RAI is not right treatment for me? Thank you very much for your opinions.

Pregabalin, Dosage thoughts?
Hi, I restarted Pregabalin in Feb. this year partly I have to say out of desperation, there being nothing else prescribeable available to me, GP had allowed me to trial Codeine but it took 90mg to suppress symptoms and there was no way that was going to be viable long term, more potent Opioids were

Iodine as a potential endocrine disruptor-a role of oxidative stress
Am somewhat surprised by this substantial paper on iodine - deficiency and excess are both addressed. As well as protection from radioactive iodine. They claim: [i]Universal awareness that iodine is a potential EDC would make consumers more careful regarding their diet and what they supplement in tablets

Graves' Ophthalmopathy in the Setting of Primary Hypothyroidism
I have heard a specialist ophthalmic nurse insist to a patient that Graves' Ophthalmopathy only occurs in hyperthyroidism. Whilst a full review article including links to all known case reports might be desirable, even one case report demonstrates that it is possible. I think it is also good that the
