Levo only
Out of interest, does anyone on here get on okay with just levothyroxine if you can find the right dose? I have had thyroid problems since I was thirteen and been undertreated (although diagnosed CFS) since I had RAI when I was 17. I honestly don't know what normal feels like, how will I know when I

Any advice on a good multivitamin support
After RAI I take 125mcg levo which seems to be balanced out, my energy levels and physical capabilities are not the same as before. I'm due for another blood test soon but wondered if there's a multivitamin to help keep me optimal. I've seen that i can get a discount using a Thyroid UK discount code

6 month T3 trial
Hi I am hypothyroid following radio iodine therapy for Graves’ disease which was done about 20 years ago. Fed up with feeling ill and putting on weight and not being able to shift it. Also the fact my leg muscles are very weak and very painful feet. I was referred to a female endo who was sympathetic

Please help , im in Northern Ireland - Anyone find a really good Endo here? (Any info by private message please)
I've finally managed to get through to my GP -(hurrah! must have be a moment when my brain fog cleared)- to agree to give me a referral to see an endo. My Gp has very limited knowledge of thyroid issues , and treating by TSH only, so my symptons over the years following RAI in 2008 have been getting

New and new meds too
Hello I have recently found your site and have posted a few comments. I would love to get some feedback on the new to me combination of Etoricoxib 60mg and Nefopam 30mg as I’m having several undesirable side-effects, notably lack of sleep which never helps anyone suffering with pain. I’m only three days

Sea Kelp - does anyone find it helps with u/a thyroid?
Does anyone take Sea Kelp with Levothyroxine? I have taken it in the past but stopped recently. Research says both "Kelp is a type of seaweed known for its rich iodine content. In some individuals, the high iodine load can result in thyroid dysfunction" and "The National Institutes of Health (NIH) say

Immune system post-TT or RAI?
If you 'resolved' Graves with TT or RAI some time ago - do you feel like your immune system calmed down after? Or do you feel it got worse? In theory thyroid antibodies should decrease after thyroid removal, but I wonder if an immune system messed up enough to attack one organ might just pick a different

8 years of not knowing
Hello. In 2012 I was diagnosed with graves disease. Carbimazole wasnt helping and I was given RAI and now have UAT. For 8 years they have struggled to get my dosage right, I've been as low as 25mcg of thyroxine and I am currently on 275mcg thyroxine. This changes constantly. My most recent bloods show

High TSH, mid f T4 graves ablated thyroid now on thyroxine
Hi I had overactive graves thyrotoxicosis which was ablated using
Radioactive
iodine
. The TSH levels are currently (Aug 19) 4.42 (range 0.3-5) and free T4 12.2 (7.9-16). I have gained weight and also have PCOS but heard that ideally TSH should be lower than 2 to be optimal.
