I feel like a drug addict asking for pain killers
My endo hasn’t improved much and I have the fear I’m going to become addicted to codeine. I used to be on tramadol but I asked to be taken off because it made everything feel like a dream. I’ve been trying not to take them but when I don’t I get these horrible flare ups and I also just had my period

Iodine
I’m just about to order iodine from Amazon. Can anyone help with type, amounts needed etc. I can’t eat fish so struggle to get much iodine naturally.

Can you have a delayed allergic reaction to iodine?
Hi all! I had my laparoscopy on Thursday (found and treated stage 2 along with cervical ectropion - the relief is sky high!) but I've developed a strange rash on my tummy, it's small bumps raised, quite red. Seems like it could be the iodine as that's where it's worse. Has anyone else had anything similar

Reducing pregabalin
I'm down to 250 mgs pregabalin and there has been no difference to when I was taking 400 mgs. I try to have no sugar which I think helps. This evening I didn't take tramadol or codeine and although I've had mild rls I've copied with it. After going to bed I watched some TV. I had a coffee when my legs

100-150mcg of T3 but STILL COLD AND TIRED
Hello I am a 31 year old female. I have SELF DIAGNOSED as hypothyroid (normal TSH, LOW free T3, normal(ish) free T4). I had an eating disorder for 20 years and this can disrupt the HPA axis making TSH and T4 normal but T3 low due to conversion problem. I KNOW the dangers of self-medicating but I was

Changing treatment, had 12 months out of Kadcyla
Hi all, Not posted for a while, since having covid over Christmas I've had unbearable back pain, taking pain relief daily. Recent CT doesn't show any change to my bone mets, no nerves are being pinched either so onc can't attribute it to that, however the CT does show a 1cm progression in 1 of the liver

TSH of 18.76 yet i'm told i'm on "appropriate medication"
Hi all, I know TSH isn't everything, however, I'm puzzled as to how the notes on my file after my NHS TFT last week say "on appropriate medication"! Just to recap, I had been taking 100mg levo daily for 6 weeks (having reduced from 125mg after being well over range for T4 and having symptoms). My private

Iodine effects on thyroid levels??
i take NDT and am wondering whether the iodine in Dried Wakame Seaweed could affect my thyroid levels? i've been eating around 4 grams (around a 1/3 Cup) with many dinners in a row, and it's just occurred to me the iodine might be a problem?????? Does anyone know?

What's an average thyroid gland size? How small is mine in comparison after RAI? Measurements are here.
I had RAI many years ago, and now take T3 with T4. I was interested to find out how much of my thyroid is left, and I wondered if it being smaller was the reason I now need the T3. So I had a private thyroid ultrasound done. It gives me measurements, but doesn't say how it compares with a 'normal' or

The chewing gum test
I was diagnosed with PMR April 2021 and GCA October 2021. I have been really struggling this last few months with pain all over and fatigue. GP would not advise to increase Prednisolone (currently 8mg) until I see a Rheumatologist and prescribed Codeine for the pain, which I am unable to take because

High TSH, High T4, Low T3 - advice please
Hi everyone, I posted on here around 6 weeks ago after feeling worse and worse and getting nowhere with my GP/Endo. I had RAI back in Feb 20 and since coming off block and replace (due to the reaction after RAI), I can’t say I’ve felt well for more than a couple of weeks at a time. I really started going

Iodine deficiency in pregnancy along a concentration gradient is associated with increased severity of preeclampsia in rural Eastern Cape
I'm sure everyone who has ever been involved with pregnancy has heard about the dreaded pre-eclampsia. Just the thing to get midwives (and mothers-to-be) worrying. Would be rather excellent if this paper represents a significant step towards understand the issue. [i]2022 Feb 4;22(1):98. doi: 10.1186
