Anyone else having to take repeated time off due to pain?
I haven't been officially diagnosed my gp strongly suspects that I have Endo. First symptoms back in 2019 left pelvic pain, pain during sex, pain when trying to stand, felt like something was being torn inside when coughing or sneezing and painful contraction like pain when needing a bowel movement.

Watchful waiting
A few weeks ago I posted with a query regarding RAI or surgery to deal with a large non-toxic retrosternal goitre. Thank you to everyone that replied, I found your comments really helpful. This afternoon I saw another consultant who was a bit more forthcoming than the previous one. RAI wasn’t mentioned

Steroid injections for back pain.
I have osteoporosis following a crack in my right femur which was not set or pinned in 2015 when I had an accident. The right leg deviated out to the right. Over 18 months to 2 years I had 3 steroid injections into my spine. No one told me about risks. Last November I had my leg straightened. This

Iodized or non iodized salt in hypothyroid ?
Which one should we use? In USA we get enough iodine from our food. Recently I saw a non-iodized Salt and purchased it thinking that people with thyroid should avoid iodine. Your thoughts please!

How to reverse high antibodies?
Hi, I an unsure whether I can share my experience and what I am allowed to say. However, I went to a naturopath for 8 month and my antibodies went through the roof under his care. I had Hashi antibodies but only 50 before I started this journey. I am trying to get an appointment with a qualified endocrinologist

Ear Infection
Evening all, after suffering from a sore throat and blocked nose I developed an ear infection, the walk-in centre GP prescribed me Amoxicillin and I requested codeine from my own GP due to the pain I was suffering. After visiting my own GP after a few days with still the same pain he further prescribed

Laparoscopy next week, scared they wont find endo
So after a particularly nasty flare up - where they could find no reason for it at the hospital, I bit the bullet and have paid to go private. Must say what a experience from the NHS. I am in no way criticizing the NHS, I work as a nurse myself and no how tricky it is with the endless back log! Got

Life with fibro
Hi there I can easily relate to what your all been saying I've been diagnosed for around 4-5 years and still haven't found any middle ground. Dr gave me amitriptyline and codeine was managing okay day to day but weekends I was bed bound unable to do anything. He removed my codeine from my prescription

After total thyroidectomy RI treatment, good idea?
I’ve had all of my thyroid removed and some thyroid cancer around my windpipe. It has been recommended I have radio active iodine treatment. I am taking 125 levothyroxine at the moment but have only been on them for 4 weeks. I would be interested to hear what anyone has to say about this situation

RLS/Thyroid
Hi All, Normal caveat ( we are all different) but pleased to say that 5 days in, taking as advised by GP 100mcg Levothyroxine, no adverse effect. I perhaps should also say that being desperate trying to get some relief from the nightly torture I restarted Pregabalin 6 weeks ago having a stockpile

Hip and groin pain .
I started with left groin pain about 3 weeks ago . This sometimes goes around the outside of the hip . I saw a doctor ( not mine) and he thinks it is osteoarthritis. I have RA and OA and have had a knee replacement, same side , and a right elbow replacement. The doctor said he thought it was osteoarthritis

Being treated for Graves' Disease and wanting to conceive
- I am fearful of relapsing and having to go down the definitive treatment route anyway (
radioactive
iodine
or surgery).. so wondering whether I may as well take the leap and do it already to be able to start a family sooner I can't seem to find any examples of women my age who are wanting to start

Struggling with symptoms I presume are from Levothyroxine
Hi there. A bit of background before I waffle on… RAI treatment (for overactive thyroid in Feb 20). Thyroid became tender and I felt unwell about 1 1/2 weeks after treatment. Put on block and replace until Sept 20 (due to my thyroid being irritated by the RAI). Taken off all meds to see what my thyroid

Good afternoon, I was diagnosed with Intermittent AF in January last year. I had my first episode in January 2021 and was Cardioverted. This only lasted 3 weeks and then I had an episode lasting approx 4 weeks which reverted spontaneously. I have had none since. I am currently suffering from right knee

Is it safe to take Biotin Supplements to try and promote hair growth & reduce thinning.
Hi! Can anyone in the know about vits & supplements advise or give their thoughts on taking Biotin supplements please... My hairstylist has recommended me taking it to help with my hair thinning, but I have read it can alter your blood test results, so I am presuming rightly or wrongly, that it can change

Hi, so glad I found this site
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed a week ago with under active thyroid after taking radiation iodine back in October for Graves’ disease, to say I’ve had a bad couple of months is an understatement but finding this forum is going to help me a lot I hope, I’ve been put on 75mg levothyroxine only 6 days in

Iodine
Hi A quick summary, I had a partial thyroidectomy 20+ years ago. Currently take T4 and T3. But I also have to take calcium because of low blood levels. I take seaweed calcium because I’ve read it’s better for bones (I have low bone density), but I’ve just noticed it contains iodine. And I’ve seen

Severe Flare up but no bleeding..
Hi, Is anybody else experiencing painful flare ups but no bleeding? If so, how are you managing?
