Amiodarone
I just wanted to clear up such negative responses to amiodarone. What is the mortality rate for amiodarone? In unadjusted analysis, amiodarone recipients had a slightly higher risk of death compared to non-recipients in the full cohort (87 vs 73 deaths per 1,000 person-years; P<0.001) but not in the

contrast dye
Hi, I have Sjogren’s and osteoporosis among other things. I’m due to have a CT scan on my lungs with contrast dye. I suffer with many allergies and wondered if anyone on here has had an adverse reaction to this iodine based dye? Many thanks 😊

Help with Substernal Thyroid
Hello to you all. I haven't been active for a while as my kidney problems took over. Last week I had a thyroid scan and apparently my thyroid on the left side has grown under my clavicle. According to the radiographer, the next step is up to me. I have looked on line and I seems to have a substernal

Cruciferous veggies and thyroid - yay or neh?
Hi All, I have heard many times that you should avoid cruciferous veggies with thyroid problems. Yet, I am yet to actually see any solid evidence behind it. Raw cabbage, sure, probably not a good idea. Raw broc sprouts is probably not a good idea. A lot of cruciferous veggies, maybe not a good idea

Spinal stenosis
Hi, I am quite new here so unsure how it all works. I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, bulging disc, fibro, nerve damage, problems in my knees . I knew about the disc whilst working but saw a chiropractor twice a year & kept fit walking. I'm now unable to work since my back went in 2020. Sciatica

IUD mirena coil fitted extreme pain
Hi so I'm hoping someone can reassure me this is normal and will ease in time. I just had an IUD fitted this morning I had no idea what to expect I figured it was like having a smear test, uncomfortable but not painful. This was not the case for me I found it extremely painful I had to use gas and air

Thoracic CT Scan - With contrast.
Not that remarkable having a CT Scan - But today I was not feeling the best before I wnt. It was a Thoracic CT with contrast. I have had many of these and know they can make you feel warm, and even an urge to urinate although it never happens. I was placed on the CT Scanner and was given Iodine as

Subclinical thyroid disease for 5 yrs
My thyroid has caused me few obvious problems in that time, other than varying T3 results.Before Xmas, 2022 I had a radionuclear scan which diagnosed toxic nodular goitre. I returned in January '23 to discuss what Endo want to do. Apparently, my choices are RAI or take Carbimazole. The dose was low,

night time pain
Hi there everyone. Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, but I my sleep is being ruined by severe lower back pain./stiffness in the night. My neurologist has prescribed me slow-release madopar overnight. This is proving completely ineffective. The only reliable way I can get a decent Sleep

Anti-inflammatories?
I've seen a lot of posts recently on how inflammation is the main cause of RLS. But if so, why don't NSAIDs alleviate RLS? I'm on codeine, but would rather be taking ibuprofen or aspirin if they worked. Alas, they don't. : (

Comments On Blood Test Results Please
I had
radioactive
iodine
some years ago and am on levothyroxine (100mg). My results from the GP always come back as 'normal' but have fluctuated wildly within this over the years.

it started with a low back pain, now I can’t move except in agony. Had the helpers come and raise my chair and put a frame around the toilet. They say I can have eight paracetamol and codeine each day. Waking up in the morning and trying to get out of bed is agony. My soon is trying to help. Love

advice please!
Morning all, I will try and keep this short. I’ve recently turned 40, I have suffered with heavy, painful periods for most of my adult life. I did have IVF 12 years ago and nothing was found (IVF due to being gay and have a distinct lack of sperm in our relationship) In 2019 I went to the GP but
