Ibrutinib and Tylenol with codeine
Beastly toothache for 4 days and extra strength Tylenol isn't doing a thing to cut the pain. Can I safely take Tylenol with codeine until I am able to get into a dentist?

Immune system post-TT or RAI?
If you 'resolved' Graves with TT or RAI some time ago - do you feel like your immune system calmed down after? Or do you feel it got worse? In theory thyroid antibodies should decrease after thyroid removal, but I wonder if an immune system messed up enough to attack one organ might just pick a different

8 years of not knowing
Hello. In 2012 I was diagnosed with graves disease. Carbimazole wasnt helping and I was given RAI and now have UAT. For 8 years they have struggled to get my dosage right, I've been as low as 25mcg of thyroxine and I am currently on 275mcg thyroxine. This changes constantly. My most recent bloods show

Hypo symptoms flare after RAI, anybody?
P.S. Would love to hear from fellow post-RAI sufferers. Has anyone also experienced a sudden accumulation of symptoms years after, like exhaustion, joint pains, swollen belly, tinnitus, brain fog &weight gain, eyesight change. (I think they're all covered...) I feel like I've aged at least 10 years in

what vitamins, minerals are good for joint pain linked to hypo.?
In 2018 my hypo symptoms, many years after RAI (in 2010) -- some weight gain and tiredness -- worsened quickly, starting with stiff finger joints. Then in one month I gained 7 kilos while eating very lightly. 2 months later, back pain from stiffness. So I know it's not due to arthritis. My last endo

Iodine drops
Hi, I’ve heard from few natural holistic practitioners that taking iodine drops daily helps with thyroid illnesses to boost energy levels. Can anyone elaborate or have any useful info regarding it or experience in taking iodine drops for their thyroid health. Thanks

TSH after RAI treatment.
Just wondering is there a pattern to how the TSH performs following RAI treatment. I had RAI in 2008. Presently my TSH is very low/suppressed. As to be expected my Gp has reduced my levo from 100 to 75 mcg. And seeing Greygoose most comprehensive response to Supul , I know my thyroid has been mismanaged

Really starting to worry. :(
So for the past 5 years I’ve been getting pains around my right shoulder blade area after I eat anything or it can come on when walking. Went to see my GP who put it down to a rotator cuff injury, which I was sceptical about but because it didn’t cause me much hassle, I left it. Fast forward to 9 weeks

Bovine thyroid supplements
Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone has good experiences with bovine thyroid supplements from new zealand. After changing from armour (which worked perfectly) to erfa (not so good for me) to synthetic L thyroxine and cytomel, I gained a lot of weight. Would novothyral be better? I have a new orthomelcular

A new path - 2 weeks after Aortic Valve and Root Op
Hi all I can't quite believe that 2 weeks ago I'd just left operating theatre. Over the past week I've: - reduced meds down to 4 plus occassional) codeine - ventured out of house for walks round the block - arranged stitch (drains) removal and BP/HR appointment - had glass of wine with tea! I've started

So scared of starting PTU
I have a hot thyroid nodule which makes me hyperthyroid. I had RAI at the end of 2017 (don't want surgery) and while it greatly improved my condition I am not fully cured. I am 38 years old and just found out I am pregnant. So my doctor will be changing me from methimazole to PTU, half a pill a day.
