TSI information
Hello, I was diagnosed with Graves Disease end of 2019 and had RAI in Feb 2020! I just want more info on TSI results so with this value it means it’s surviving and thriving in my body! Now with high numbers like this I will be prone to get other diseases right? Is there anyway to get these numbers

Iodine for Underactive Thyroid
Hi. I just wondered, has anybody used iodine for underactive thyroid? I’ve seen supplements for it, but I’ve read reports that it can make things worse so I just thought I’d put the question out there. Thank you.

Severe pain and no sleep for weeks
Hi, I've had severe abdominal pain and no sleep for weeks, waiting to see consultant. Usually have constipation but have had a few diahorrea episodes in last few weeks. GP has prescribed amitriyptaline for pain and to help me sleep. Does this work or am I best taking zopliclone or both? Does it cause

Unplug sleeping aid
Sleep is poor at present so this is a long shot. Does anyone use this product? It’s vegan with a blend of botanicals and minerals. I have used it successfully before but don’t know if it’s ok with AFib. It has small quantities of magnesium citrate and zinc picolinate. I know to be careful with amount

Gadolinium vs Iodine for Radiation Treatment
Gadolinium vs Iodine for Radiation Treatment A long-standing problem with cancer radiation therapy is that it is not effective at the center of tumors where oxygen levels are low due to the lack of blood vessels penetrating deeply into the tissue. X-ray irradiation needs oxygen to generate DNA-damaging

Progesterone only pill
I’ve started taking the POP yesterday, just wondering what people have experienced in terms of timescale before I feel any pain relief? I’m awaiting a lap and have been given the POP on top of the other meds I’m already taking (paracetamol, Mefenamic acid and codeine when needed). Thanks

15 days post c section: intestinal cramps and diarrhoea- anyone?
Hello ladies, First of all apologies for the TMI…I’ve had a c section 17 days ago and for the last 3 days I’ve been having terrible intestinal cramps with bouts of loose stools/diarrhoea….was wondering if it’s part of the recovery? Has this happened to any of you? After the section I was on antibiotics

Suicide.
I haven't been on here in a while but I wanted to maybe offer a little bit of hope to anyone who has been struggling with this condition and felt that they had no other options left to them. I had a major flare up of my RLS about 14 months ago and was prescribed Gabapentin. It took about 2 months

Should I try and get referred to add t3?

Returning to a Patient-Centered Approach in the Management of Hypothyroidism
If you watch the sea, as the tide goes out it seems to take forever. You keep thinking that it really must be low-tide. But it keeps receding. Eventually there comes a point at which it does just about stop going out, and maybe the odd stronger wave comes in a touch further than the one before. This

Anyone else get super itchy, highly sensitive fingertips?
This only started a few days ago but I’m wondering if it could be thyroid related. The tip of my finger is irritatingly super itchy. Like I want to constantly rub it against the sharp corner of my worktop. All the time. It’s also really sensitive. I had RAI treatment ages ago and paranoid about nerve

Prenatal vitamins and hypothyroidism
Getting conflicting information online and from doctors... Are prenatal vitamins safe for women with hypothyroidism as most contain 100% RDI iodine?

Medication review
I have decided to ask my GP for a medication review after having too many nights with horrendous rls and concerns about the amount of medication I take and the suspicious that my surgery practice hands out tablets like smarties. I would appreciate any advice I could say to my GP over a telephone consultation

It wasn't a ruptured cyst, it was a miscarriage, without knowing I was pregnant.
Apologies for the rant, I think this forum is the only place that people will be able to understand how I feel right now, because even I don't understand. Over the weekend after thinking what I had was a ruptured cyst and being told at urgent care that I didn't need to attend A&E, my condition worsened
