Lap yesterday
Hi everyone! So I had my lap yesterday and my consultant said she found some endometriosis but didn’t tell me where! She said it’s stage 2 and I will have a telephone conversation to go over it in more detail. She did diothermy to kill the tissue and said it went well. I had to stay in because I was

My nightmare after taking Amitriptyline
I had never heard of Amitriptyline until my doctor suggested I take 1 every night to help with lower back pain....the only thing she really said was make sure to take it at night as it will make you sleepy..."Fair enough." I said and I left with my new medication to add to the collection. I am already

Can't Find Accurate Description of Liothyronine (T3)
Yikes! I have been searching on Google for an accurate description of the drug liothyronine. So far, nearly all of the sites describe it this way: "Liothyronine is a man-made form of a hormone that is normally produced by your thyroid gland to regulate the body's energy and metabolism. Liothyronine

Hello everyone. I had a telephone appointment with a doctor yesterday to discuss HRT as I’m having a few symptoms and thinking of going on it. We discuss other medical conditions and the risks of HRT. She has really freaked me out as she said because I’ve had RAI I’m at more risk of breast cancer when

Iodine salt pipe
Hi, I've just read about the issue with iodine and hypothyroidism. So I'm waiting for more tests but initial ones indicate central hypothyroidism and apart from weight gain, I have a lot of symptoms. Thinking I may have covid 19 in the spring, I followed advice on Dr Myhills website about iodine inhalation

Colonoscopy

Augmenting on everything
Hi, I've been on codeine phosphate 60mg for the past 6 months and it's been fantastic but once again I seem to be augmenting on it, I've augmented on everything, tramadol, dopamine agonists, etc.. I really thought codeine was going to work this time, iron supplements really helped over the past 2 years

Home remedy/self-care suggestions for tension headaches
For the past five days I’ve been suffering really badly from this self induced tension headache. Which initially started from trying to get through to the GP for other reasons.

If it ain’t broke?????
Hi, I’m new to this forum and seeking people’s view on my position... I’ve had an over active thyroid since I was 19 I’m now 43, I just have carbimazole ( varying dose depending on if I’ve had a break) currently on 20mg. I’ve spent my whole adult life feeling absolutely fine, just taking 1 tablet a day

Been to hormone specialist...not sure what to think?!
I am new here, but not new to thyroid problems. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2001 after years of symptoms no doctor could explain: high blood pressure difficult to control even with medication, hair loss, high cholesterol, weight gain and fluid retention. Doctors suggested I was eating too much

Thinking of going through with RAI Treatment but having doubts.
I've had Graves Disease for 7 years now and managed it on low doses of Carbimazole. This works well most of the time but find my levels still fluctuate and I still struggle now and again with muscle weakness, bruising, brain fog and low mood. I've learnt to manage these symptoms (kind of) but what I'm

Looking for further reading/research on low TSH
Hello again, Firstly, thanks for all the info so far! I have previously posted my results and thyroid background in another thread. I take thyroxine following RAI I was wondering if anyone knew of further reading/information/research on low but not suppressed TSH (I'm at 0.08), specifically in pregnancy

Codeine
I'm interested to hear of people's experience with codeine. Has it worked for you? How much do you take? I realise there are superior opioids out there for RLS but I'm unable to tolerate them. I've taken paracetamol/codeine preparations (panadeine forte) in the past for headaches etc and have had no

Hi all, so I've been on decapeptyl forabout 6 months and HRT for about 3 months, I'm not sure how long I'm going to be on this as I'm waiting for a hysterectomy, I've been mostly pain free for about 5 months but for the last month or so I've been getting pains on my left and right side, and the other
