Post-ropinerole aches?
Hi. I “was” an RLS sufferer. On ropinerole. Augmented. So after seeing loads of chats about DAs, I’ve come off it - I followed my doctor’s prescribed steps, gradually reducing to nothing about a month ago. I also concentrated on upping my ferritin from the last measured value of 81. I was on codeine

Hi everybody- hope you’ve all had a good weekend. We had the appointment with my brothers oncologist- he’s a lovely man. We have a lot of drugs to combat the cough - mainly steroids & a codeine linctus. Fingers crossed it works. Unfortunately his cancer is showing extensive spread to his right lung but

Autoimmune, lack of iodine, or something else?
Hello, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last Summer, and received the following blood results: Serum free T4 level: 11.5pmoI/L (normal range 12.0- 22.0 Serum TSH level: 10.49mIU/L (normal range: 0.30 - 5.00) I have since been put on Levothyroxine 50mg which brought my Serum TSH level down to 1.54mIU

Can overdoing it cause a flair
I've been doing fine on 3mg for a while. I'm a gardener and was hedge cutting a low but wide hedge last Tuesday. Bending over, arms outstretched welding a heavy petrol hedge cutter. Bad idea on reflection. That evening I had bad back ache and since then it's got worse rather than better. I can literally

carbimazole
A few years ago I was taking iodine drops (only 5 drops in water a day) after seeing a naturopath because I live in Tasmania and was told that we were all iodine deficient here) but over a period of 3 years it built up in my system and caused me to have a very high reading of an over active thyroid.

What pain killers can I take when on HU?
I am experiencing terrible pain in my left hip/ thigh and leg and slept for only one hour last night. I had an X-ray and blood tests on Wednesday and await the X-ray results. Nothing was broken luckily. But meanwhile I am taking paracetamol every four hours which really doesn’t do much. As I’m on Hydroxycarbamide

Thyroid and the environment: exposure to excessive nutritional iodine increases the prevalence of thyroid disorders in São Paulo, Brazil
We have had many discussions about iodine - specifically, iodine supplementation. This paper from 2008, which I do not remember ever seeing, is quite interesting and is fully accessible. [i]

Nothing works
I'm taking 300mgs pregabalin. I've tried even more but it doesn't work. Even with tramadol 50mgs it does nothing.I can be walking around until 3.30 to 5.30. I've taken tonight my 300 pregabalin and 2 OTC ibobrufen and codeine. I've just taken 15 mgs codeine and a teaspoon of Kratom. I'm still rubbing

Multi Minerals
I’m considering trying a multi mineral supplement, any advice on which type to try, and should I avoid ones containing zinc and iodine. Thanks Morgan 2014

Hyperthyroidism first appointment
Hi This is a follow on from my previous post. First appointment with consultant and as my liver enzymes were raised, they are taking me off carb, done blood tests and said other options radio active iodine or surgery if liver still raised. Wouldn’t entertain the idea of the other medication when I mentioned

Newly diagnosed hypothyroid - medicate or not?
Hi everyone I have recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism - accidentally! I'd had chest pains on and off for weeks, and since I am slim, my GP tested me to see if I was *hyper* thyroid... but it turned out the other way around! My numbers are not dramatic but I do have antibodies suggesting an auto-immune
