Iron Levels
I am on a reduction program for pramipexole, and it’s going really well. I’m taking gentle iron every other night. I also have some codeine tablets and I take one at bedtime. However I had surgery about eight weeks ago. I had my second full iron panel blood test about four weeks ago. My ferritin levels

My PMR and GCA story so far...
I've had GCA twice so far, and I think I'm going down with it again at present. I've had PMR since October 2009, when I began to get a constant and increasingly painful backache after having a very bad case of the flu. The backache soon spread to my shoulders and by the end of 2009, I had to use a

Another private blood test for advice please
Hi all, I’m not quite sure if I’ve gone from one extreme to the other with TSH maybe in the last few months. Here is my latest test result (done early without meds etc) (I’m Graves’ disease, had RAI 2017 and currently on 100 levo and my own added T3 which I’m not sure I should drop this or reduce

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

help managing palpitations
I have had to stop taking Carbimazole because I am going to have radio active iodine in 7 days. I have been told to ‘manage’ my palpitations by taking propranolol. I had previously stopped taking it because my thyroid levels were down to normal (on Carbimazole) and I had no heart symptoms. But since

Supplement advice please for a newbie
I have had to cancel my GP appointment, that I have waited three weeks for, as I have contracted covid and the next one available is in four weeks. I want to feel as well as I can, as soon as I can. I had a total thyroidectomy late last year for thyroid cancer followed by RAI in March. I got through

Toxic poppy seeds are sending people to hospital in Australia. A reminder that dietary supplements are considered as foods, not drugs
If you are using supplements to hopefully manage your CLL, here is an example of why what's natural can make you very ill and why you need to ensure that you obtain your supplements from a reputable source. Along with their use in foods and drinks, poppy seeds are the source of medically important chemicals

To take or not to take...iodine?
I know this is a controversial subject, but would like to know if anyone with Hashimoto´s has taken iodine and noticed any benefits? The doctor who prescribed Erfa for me also prescribed Lugol´s iodine solution (12%). I have chosen not to take it as I have read so many times that it should be avoided

Ongoing fatigue following thyroidectomy due to cancer
In 2019 I had a full thyroidectomy and RAI treatment due to cancer. Since then I have had problems with fatigue, which I understand is not unusual after this type of treatment. I was given125mcg Levothyroxine initially but this caused near hyperthyroidism, I am at present on 100mcg but find I am still

Gastrografin - Yes or No?
I am due a CT Colonography and have been given Gastrografin to take prior to this. On the bottle it says "If you have an allergy to iodine do not take Gastrografin". I have Hashimotos and have been taking 100mcg Levothyroxine for many years. Should I be taking this? Has anyone had experience of

Ashwaganda?
I just saw someone posting on another site that Ashwaganda has really helped their RLS. Does anyone have any thoughts on this please? I currently take Tramadol but only when desperate as I don't really want to be dependent on any drug if I can avoid it. However I have had to appreciate that I am taking

Good site for vegan nutrition info and some supplements I take
https://veganhealth.org/daily-needs/ For a good B12 source would recommend the 3 natural form supplement here : https://www.sunday.de/en/vitamin-b12/. 500mcg per day is a good safe dosage. You cannot overdose on B12 and although 500mcg seems like a lot, only an estimated 6-7mcg are absorbed of this

Can gabapentin intensify RLS?
I’ve been phasing on to gabapentin since the summer whilst I came off ropinerole (been off ropinerole for 2 months). My gabapentin dose has been at 1800mg for 3 weeks (2pm, 5pm & 8pm on Doc’s suggestion) and during the night I invariably am awake for 2-4 hours with the most intense RLS, worse than before

Night time Codeine.
Hi - I have been been on prescription 2x30mg Codeine Phosphate for about 18 months (for my RLS). They now do not work as efficiently as when I first started but I absolutely do not want to increase my dose. In fact, I would like to reduce down to 30mg a night. My tablets are so tiny, that it is impossible

Just received the full copy of my blood test where I can see my TSI
My TSI is 1.20 (0.00 - 2.00) Does it mean that I ddi not have Graves and RAI is not right treatment for me? Thank you very much for your opinions.
