The uptake results are in... and more confusion
I've received my uptake scan results today, which I was expecting to show a toxic nodule or few. Instead the report states..... There is uptake seen throughout the thyroid gland with relative increased tracer activity on the right when compared to the left, however, no focal nodule is seen. Thyroid

Treatment decision Hyperactive
Does some of your thyroid remain if you have a low dose of
radioactive
iodine
meaning you may not go completely under active? Thank you for looking and any advice or thoughts you may offer.

Vitamin and mineral supplements? My latest results
Hi all, I've just had my latest Blue Horizon results (see image) which I would welcome comments on, particularly regarding the vitamins and minerals I might need to supplement. All blood tests were done no later than 9.30am, no levo for 24 hours before. I've worked really hard this year on my diet, but

RAI and persisting inflammation research
Not sure if this has already been posted, but will definitely be following this: BTF research award: 'Does persisting thyroid inflammation explain poor quality of life after radioiodine therapy (RAI)?' https://www.btf-thyroid.org/btf-research-award-winner-2023 Just reading the title I thought OMG

Blood Results - and poor treatment/support from NHS - feel lost and unwell
I have been diagnosed severe Graves with high antibodies for about 8 years and suffered a number of relapses where usually end up in A&E. Due to reading a lot on this forum and other websites I have refused RAI treatment due to the often poor outcomes and don’t really want surgery either as read about

N.I.C.E to stop the use of Lyiothronine (T3 ) prescribing
This is an absolute disgrace, it is obvious that it is a cost cutting move, so what about people like me who have no thyroid (destroyed completely by
radioactive
iodine
) and need T3 in addition to Levo, with T3 being prescribed by my very supportive NHS Endo.

iodine to take it or not?
could someone clear up the iodine issue with me? I was under the impression that it was bad to take iodine. Due to trying for a baby I have resorted to a private nhs gp who specialises in hormone health. She put me on a methylated pregnancy multivit containing iodine as well as referring me to a functional

Hi Guys, New to this forum but have 7 years tackling & experimenting with nutrition for Hashimotos. With a keen background in nutrition I was determined to address it with this and avoid any thyroid drug interaction if possible. My antibodies were as high as 3500 at worst and are now 528 and dropping

Here’s a herbal for the lungs
I have just come across this herbal formula which has many reviews on the benefits for chest congestion coughs, breathing problems. It has an extensive list of herbs in it. Some have been shown to be anti anxiety, anti oxidant, anti inflammatory inducing. Might be worth a shot if you have issues

Raised Thyroglobulin ab
Hi. I had a total thyroidectomy and radio iodine treatment in 2016 for Papillary Ca. I've been having annual monitoring since with no concerns. My most recent blood test shows normal thyroglobulin but raised thyroglobulin antibodies at 40. My latest is TSH 0.7 and T4 in normal range. What I want to know

should I do radioiodine therapy for hyperthyroid?
Hi Everyone, I’m debating whether to get radio-iodine therapy to treat my hyperthyroid. I have been diagnosed with hyperthyroid for 7 years now. I was very bad at taking any medicines and didn’t take anything for years. I don’t have any of the symptoms that is normally associated with hyperthyroid.
