Hi everybody- hope you’ve all had a good weekend. We had the appointment with my brothers oncologist- he’s a lovely man. We have a lot of drugs to combat the cough - mainly steroids & a codeine linctus. Fingers crossed it works. Unfortunately his cancer is showing extensive spread to his right lung but

Autoimmune, lack of iodine, or something else?
Hello, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last Summer, and received the following blood results: Serum free T4 level: 11.5pmoI/L (normal range 12.0- 22.0 Serum TSH level: 10.49mIU/L (normal range: 0.30 - 5.00) I have since been put on Levothyroxine 50mg which brought my Serum TSH level down to 1.54mIU

Can overdoing it cause a flair
I've been doing fine on 3mg for a while. I'm a gardener and was hedge cutting a low but wide hedge last Tuesday. Bending over, arms outstretched welding a heavy petrol hedge cutter. Bad idea on reflection. That evening I had bad back ache and since then it's got worse rather than better. I can literally

A few years ago I was taking iodine drops (only 5 drops in water a day) after seeing a naturopath because I live in Tasmania and was told that we were all iodine deficient here) but over a period of 3 years it built up in my system and caused me to have a very high reading of an over active thyroid.

What pain killers can I take when on HU?
I am experiencing terrible pain in my left hip/ thigh and leg and slept for only one hour last night. I had an X-ray and blood tests on Wednesday and await the X-ray results. Nothing was broken luckily. But meanwhile I am taking paracetamol every four hours which really doesn’t do much. As I’m on Hydroxycarbamide

Thyroid and the environment: exposure to excessive nutritional iodine increases the prevalence of thyroid disorders in São Paulo, Brazil
We have had many discussions about iodine - specifically, iodine supplementation. This paper from 2008, which I do not remember ever seeing, is quite interesting and is fully accessible. [i]

Beta Blockers
Hi I’ve posted many times in the past but not for some time My question is could my beta blocker Bisoprolol fumerate 1.25 mg be causing my rls? The beta blocker was prescribed some 12 years ago for my svt ( super ventricular tachycardia and has worked well all these years BUT if my memory serves me

Nothing works
I'm taking 300mgs pregabalin. I've tried even more but it doesn't work. Even with tramadol 50mgs it does nothing.I can be walking around until 3.30 to 5.30. I've taken tonight my 300 pregabalin and 2 OTC ibobrufen and codeine. I've just taken 15 mgs codeine and a teaspoon of Kratom. I'm still rubbing

Vitamin D causing tinnitus
Hi, I posted a little while back about vitamin D supplements causing tinnitus, well it turns out its not just supplements. I've been in the sun on a few occasions over the last couple of months and it affects my tinnitus in the same way. What the hell do I do? This has only started since I had radio

Newly diagnosed hypothyroid - medicate or not?
Hi everyone I have recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism - accidentally! I'd had chest pains on and off for weeks, and since I am slim, my GP tested me to see if I was *hyper* thyroid... but it turned out the other way around! My numbers are not dramatic but I do have antibodies suggesting an auto-immune

Non-surgical management of thyroid nodules - the role of ablative therapies
Many here have asked about alternatives to surgery and
radioactive
iodine
- and in some cases, there might be some. This paper seems to be supporting two specific options. Have to say, the phrase "treatments of choice" sticks in my throat.
