Weaning off painkillers
Had hip replacement 6 weeks ago.On 1000mg paracetemol and 60mg codeine 4 times a day pain relief. Had no advice about how long I should take this medication or how to manage coming off it. Would love a drink at Christmas. How long should I be on painkillers and can I get off them this week?

I want to get rid of this disease ASAP. How can I do? I'm really disappointed with my hyperthyroidism.
Because of the side effects of
radioactive
iodine
, I'm afraid to treat it. Now I take Carbimazol vs Propanol. I can't go to hospital because of my country's conditions. I want to get rid of this disease ASAP.

right eye pain
on the 5th round of injections and again a lot of pain but only in the right eye not the left. The pain went on for 10 hours and codeine didn’t really make it better. Also both eyes were so soar l could not open either of them when l tried to tell the doctor he dismissed my pain saying “ it happens”

Salivary Glands Swollen 6 Months Post RAI
Hi everyone and thanks for reading! I had RAI treatment in October of 2021. My dose was 100 mci. I immediately had swollen and painful salivary glands which subsided in a day or two. I have had no issues with them until the beginning of June. Now, they constantly swell when eating. Some days are worse

Mum in extreme pain
My Mum has been suffering with a Prolapse for the past 5 months and it has caused incredible amounts of pain. The pain seems to be easier when she first wakes up in the morning - to the point where she says she is completely resolved. For context, she has been diagnosed with a Stage 2 rectocele and

A brief respite and now back with a vengeance
I suffer from restless legs syndrome and was prescribed pramipexole. I started a reduction program several months ago and by September I was down to half a tablet today. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to have a mastectomy 3 moths ago. Unbeknown to me the surgery temporarily raised my ferritin

GP not really understanding
I had RAI around 5 years ago for Graves disease which I have had since 1991, RAI was considered the best option as I had relapsed 3 times and can't take Carbimozole. When I was controlled by propylthiouracil my TSH was kept around 0.8 and T4 around 20. It took two years post RAI for me to feel any

Iodine in yoghurt...and the possibility of it interfering with correct blood test result.
I am dairy free and I have just had my Thyroxine reduced from 125 mg to 100mg. My question is that the Tesco plant based soya plain yoghurt that I normally would have, now has iodine added. One fifth of a pot, my normal consumption, contains 45.0µg iodine. I am due to have a retest to see if the reduction

MRI with Iodine
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Currently on 10mg and experiencing aches On Wednesday I had MRI with Iodine for contra imaging.

How long has it take RAI to work for you?
Hi All, My hyper battle has been ongoing for 4 years. First time it settled quicky with Carbimazole and relapsed after stopping, I have now been on Carbimazole for over 3 years, with the only break being for my RAI treatment. So my RAI treatment was 10th May and I restarted Carbimazole 20mg a day
