chlorella and hashimotos
Hi anyone have any knowledge as to whether it is not advisable to take chlorella if you have Hashimotos since it contains a small amount of iodine?

T4 over range yet again due to side effect of Amiodarone. I have no thyroid, am on 25mcg levo daily now. In a dilemma
Hi all I am aware that most people on this site will have little knowledge about the drug Amiodarone so here is a brief account of what it is used for and it's potential side effects that can alter conversion of thyroid medication such as levo or NDT so pushing levels either up or down. It can also effect

Amiriodone & NDT update
So I was put on Amiodarone post heart surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. I thought it was a three week course but it's not. Now on 200mg per day for the next few months . And yes I think it's messing my thyroid hormones up. I did protest over taking it...due to its high iodine content and contrary indications.

Dr Alan Christianson - Iodine Controlled Diet
Hi, Does anyone follow Dr Alan Christianson on social media or read any of his material? I find his video's very very informative and enjoy his content. He seems to be a very big supporter of an iodine controlled diet, and thyroid disease can be controlled by regulating iodine intake as appose to thyroid

Airedalelady
I am about to start a course of hydrolyzed marine collagen to help my loss of hair. It is by British Supplements, and the ingredients just list Pangasius Fish. Is this okay to take with Levothyroxine? Someone has told me this would probably contain Iodine, which would not work with thyroid meds. Could

Graves disease and RAI
Hi I was diagnosed with Graves disease 16 months ago. I have been on carbimazole on reducing doses and T levels were almost normal but then went up. So I am now on 15mg per day. They asked me to think about radio active iodine. I am very unsure about this. From the little I have read it can make your

Fluctuating High Blood Pressure
I've had hypertension 140-150-160/90 for a while and I received treatment (Atacand 16mg)from a cardiologist, but I have the impression that the medicine interacts with my hormone level, as if it puts me in a hypo state.

good morning, I’ve just received my advanced thyroid panel from medichecks and I hoped someone could interpret them for me please? A bit of history, I developed an overactive thyroid with graves and t.e.d in 2001, I had radio iodine which obviously knocked me underactive. I got put straight on levothyroxine

Just a little rant
One thing I have learned since being diagnosed with Osteo is that this medical condition is a money maker for big pharma. I would encourage everyone to look up publication on actual studies done around the world with men and women with osteo and what they were given naturally along with calcium supplementation

Hello! I am 20 years deep at age 40 into basically helping doctors regulate my thyroid after a horrible medical overdose at age 17 my thyroid was never the same ….perhaps it was like that as a kid from a traumatic move because I gained 40 pounds seemingly overnight, however I didn’t become medicated

I have a prolapsed stoma which is 4 inches long and 55mm in diameter I've also herniated my bowel with it being 10cm in length. I also have 1 metre of small bowel left so not really much at all when

Wits end
I need some advice please. I am currently on 300mg of pregabalin and one codeine tablet a day but this has stopped working. I struggle to get to sleep and when I do I am woken after 1 - 2 hours with restless legs and sometimes arms. I am at my wits end with exhaustion. I had a full blood count recently
