Help please!
Please, please could anyone give me advice! I am new to this site. I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism in September 2019, 13 months ago. My endocrinologist has now told me my condition will not reverse / stabilize on carbimazole as I couldnt get down to 5mg a day without my levels

High ferritin level and skin problems
After my RAI treatment in January by March I started to become hypo. My scalp looked like a salt lake, white and crusty and very itchy. I mentioned it to my endo but as soon as I used the word lumpy he cut me off, nothing new there. Since then I’ve developed itchy, crusty spots and rashes . Having paid

Iodine when hypo?
Hello I would like to take some iodine, selenium and molybdenum to help with my b2 and b12. But I am hypo on 50/75mcg levo with antibodies 950 (autoimmune thyroid). Just wanting to ask is it safe to take iodine in this case (just the recommended daily amount)? I find it all very confusing

Getting off levo is possible. My experience.
I stopped taking levothyroxine in May after weaning off it for a year and a half. For those that are interested in what happens when you wean off levo - it takes about a month/month and a half for the body to adjust to not having the external hormones coming in. For me, one of the surprising changes

Iodine not listed in ingredients list, but I wondered if it was under a "different" name?

Lower back lump - is this an endo related cyst?
Hi everyone! I’ve been struggling with symptoms for years now and still undiagnosed. I mainly struggle with lower back pain that takes at least two codeine tablets to go away (for a while). I noticed a small lump on my lower back about 6 months ago and no one else could feel it, since then it’s become

Hyperthyroidism - treatment sequence?
Hi guys I've been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and referred to see a consultant, which I'm researching now. I can see from my limited research that there are approximately 2 or 3 different treatment options, including some medication, radiates iodine and finally surgery. I'm wondering if all

Allergy to iodine ..why now!?
After my eye injections in August I had an allergic reaction I’ve never had before. With 10 minutes of leaving hospital my nose started streaming ...which I thought may be hay fever but when I got home one eye was swollen and badly bloodshot. Had a little sleep and when I woke my cheeks were red and

Options for multiple severe asthma exacerbations
I am getting to my wits end and hoping for some good ideas from this great community. I suffer from severe asthma. In less than a year I have had 8 chest infections: 4 - required steroids 6 - required antibiotics 2 - were COVID like but were not, though I did receive codeine for 1 one of the flare-ups

Diet for hashis
Hashis. Just got results back of 1.8 TSH from NHS so they have kept my Levo at 75mg. I take one and a half 50mg as the 25mg Veto gave me a headache. Have asked for medical records to put on here but it’s taking an age to get them. After which I’ll pay to get some private tests done and make sure T3

Dystonia ?
Recently this has been added to my ( Portfolio )😱 of medical problems . Two bad falls last year resulted in my neck being twisted . A referral to a Consultant has resulted in Botox injections to see if any difference could be made . A warning of side effects most importantly difficulty in swallowing

Some doctors will some doctors wont?
I was prescribed codeine for many years for pain relief however my doctor has suddenly stopped prescribing codeine quoting it is against national guidelines. The doctor in the next village to me is still prescribing codeine for pain relief however?

MRI scan and iodine dye.....is it a problem for Hashi sufferers ?
I’m hoping someone on here can advise. I’m booked in for an MRI scan as part of an investigation into a trapped nerve in my neck. It’s all a bit scary but as I live in France it’s also an unfamiliar process (not that I’ve done it before). From what I can see, they inject a dye into intravenously before

TEVA Medications - not just a Thyroid issue?
Hi, this is just a general observation... I know some people on here have trouble with TEVA Levothyroxine products and recently I had knee replacement surgery. I was given codeine and paracetamol as painkillers for the two nights in hospital. Despite the 4 maximum doses I was given through the day/night

Iodine - can't find link to recent article
Not long ago someone posted a link to an article suggesting that iodine is not as bad as we have been led to believe. I meant to read it at the time, but didn't and now I can't find it. Does anyone remember this and can give me a link to it? This time I'll bookmark it and read it! My naturopath adviser
