And each time it seems to be triggered by something(not graves i'm told) the first time my small goiter was triggered into hyper was an iodine contrast my doctor ordered on my pancreas.it was diagnosed as von basedow

Help.
So I’m just diagnosed have Jsut started spironolactone and metformin along with high dosage of many vitamins etc due to severe deficiencies. I went in holiday so GP gave northisterone even tho knew I had PCOS. I now am on my period first day and never had pain like it. Never normally get cramps anyways

Hashimoto's - cut out iodine?
Pardon my ignorance but should a hashimoto's patient cut out iodine? My supplement has 200iug of iodine.

Adopt a Phytoestrogens diet while going through the menopause and hashimoto's - good or bad ?
Fed up with feeling unwell. Not only am I suffering from hashimoto's but now also menopausal symptoms. Last thyroid test in July was borderline normal. My sleep is erratic, hot flushes are horrendous, muscles ache, shoulder injury not healed in a year, headaches. Been looking at fx menopause but ingredients

RAI i would love to hear your experiences 😊
Hi i saw my Endo yesterday and he suggests i have RAI for my hyperthyroidism due to my Graves disease, i had a relapse FT4 76 and he thinks it was due to me being on 5mg Carbimazole daily. I was stable at 10mg daily but he tried to lower dose to see if he could get me totally off the meds...obviously

In so much pain and so tired, Recent bloods from medichecks,
Since myT4 has been gradually getting lower I was advised to have SHBG checked. I had The anaemia panel done also as I’m so tired, breathless and suffering muscle pain. I can barely lift my arms. I’m on 125mg thyroxine and 30mg liothyronne I had graves and then RAI therefore I’m now hypo this 24 yrs

Thought I finally had an answer for my pain
Had my laproscopy 14 weeks ago where they found endometriosis. I’ve just had my follow up with the consultant who said I had the tiniest amounts of endometriosis, I explained I still had lots of pelvic pain all on my right side and he said that the amount of endometriosis I had wouldn’t be causing this

Hyperthyroidism- First Endo Appointment
Hi All, first appointment with my endocrinologist yesterday following diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in June this year. I’m looking for a bit of help as I feel a bit “bamboozled” with what he said. He explained that the best options were a thyroidectomy or RAI, and the RAI was the one he seemed to steer

What is your dosage after RAI?
Background: I have had graves for 17 years. I battled it successfully for 15 years with PTU but about 2 years ago I had RAI as I became hospitalised with neutropaeonia on both carbimazole and PTU. Since RAI I have had low energy and depression. My question is: What dosage are people on who have had

Not the norm RA symptoms, is anyone else experiencing the same?
It's been awhile since I last contributed here, although I read nras posts regularly. I'm 3 years into a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis but I have never experienced the usual pain, redness, heat and swelling I read about. I've always had hip and pelvic pain that aches and burns, sometimes down my legs

#Confused
After a roller coaster of a year, diagnosed thyroid cancer, total thyrondectomy and RAI. I'm just trying to get my head around all the side affects of not having a thyroid and making sure my medication dosage is correct.

Codeine and Levothyroxine-ok to take?
Hi I have painful arthritis and my GP has just stopped prescribing Diclofenac which worked wonders but has some serious issues with safety. He’s prescribed Codeine instead but I didn’t ask if it interacted with Levothyroxine in anyway? Has anybody experienced issues with taking the 2 meds? Obviously

What do results mean
Had my results for thyroid, the only ones out of range was anti thyroglobulin at 733 and low iodine 75% and spot iodine 89.45 although all other test were within normal findings the optimal findings were slightly above on TSH and low on T3 but would probably be considered normal, Practitioner suggested
