Natural thyroid meds
Hi. After I had my children I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and subsequently received radio active iodine treatment (to destroy part of my thyroid) and have now need hypothyroid for 15 years. I think that in all of this time I have felt a bit depressed - or rather I struggle to enjoy myself. I wondered

Help with weight gain after reducing my thyroxine
Hi I had Graves’ disease when I was 28 I eventually had RAI in 1996. My question is thyroxine. I’ve been taking 725mcg a week. My doctor reduced from 750 2 years ago as I was hyper but since reducing I’m 2 stone heavier and depressed. I was on antidepressants Citalopram. I stopped them 2 months ago.

Vegan Supplements
This is relevant to my previous post but it seems I can't add an attachment to a reply, only an original post. However, as the supplement I take at the moment contains iodine I should stop using it as there's a suspicion I may have Hashimoto's. As I'm vegan I've been using the vegan societies VEG 1,

RLS, tramadol and the opiate epidemic.
I wish we could start a movement promoting opiates for RLS. John Hopkins University states that "Dr. Willis (as in Willis-Ekbom diesease) in his description of this disease in 1685 also reported on the benefits of opiates for treating the symptoms. Thus for over 300 years opiates remained the only truly

Non- Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism - causes
Hi everyone I was diagnosed with non- Hashimoto’s 25 years ago at the age of 25 when my GP was looking for an explanation for severe headaches that I’d had since I was a child. I had my TSH tested which came back as 25 with no antibodies present. One thing I’ve never had an answer to is what the cause

Any advice? Can’t take carbimazole
Hi all. Mine is a bit of a long story but I’d be interested in your thoughts. At the beginning of June, I started having palpitations, racing heart rate, breathlessness etc. Went to GP who did a whole bunch of bloods. All were normal except: TSH <0.02 [0.3-5] free t3 42.2 [3.1-6.8] I was put on 40mg

Tests we SHOULD get and usually don't.

If you have time you will see that answers are abundant

Levo only
Out of interest, does anyone on here get on okay with just levothyroxine if you can find the right dose? I have had thyroid problems since I was thirteen and been undertreated (although diagnosed CFS) since I had RAI when I was 17. I honestly don't know what normal feels like, how will I know when I

Any advice on a good multivitamin support
After RAI I take 125mcg levo which seems to be balanced out, my energy levels and physical capabilities are not the same as before. I'm due for another blood test soon but wondered if there's a multivitamin to help keep me optimal. I've seen that i can get a discount using a Thyroid UK discount code

Please help , im in Northern Ireland - Anyone find a really good Endo here? (Any info by private message please)
I've finally managed to get through to my GP -(hurrah! must have be a moment when my brain fog cleared)- to agree to give me a referral to see an endo. My Gp has very limited knowledge of thyroid issues , and treating by TSH only, so my symptons over the years following RAI in 2008 have been getting
