Hi everyone, am new to this, I just wondered if anyone else suffers from this with Graves’ disease
I’ve recently been diagnosed with graves, am not on any treatment at the moment after having iodine treatment before Xmas. Does anyone suffer from joint pain? My hands and feet ache a lot. And I feel like my legs are really heavy , I am struggling to get regular blood test done because of the COVID,

Update feel much better
Dear All Wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support you showed me over the last few days . Hubby had a pain management review with GP and was prescribed codeine phosphate with paracetamol. I wasn’t convinced with this due to bad reviews of codeine so decided to stick

Do we have Graves antibodies forever, even after RAI?
I was hyper in 1987, and in my medical records one endo mentioned Graves, and one mentioned Hashimotos thyroiditis. There's no record of any antibody tests, just high T4 and low TSH. I had carbimazole and PTU, but relapsed afterwards, so was given RAI in 1989, and have been very hypo ever since. I

Coming off the pill
After my last period I have stopped taking the pill (I’ve been taking it for 11 years) as me and my partner are trying for a baby.

Hyperthyroidism and treatment question
I recently got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. My doctor has told me it's either RAI or surgery and I am trying to understand whether this is the normal course of action or whether people would tend to be put on medication first. My doctor seemed very reluctant to give medication. I live in Japan, so

Possible Triggers
Hi all, Has anyone experienced a link between RLS getting worse by the regular use of painkillers for other problems? RLS started recently during lockdown and getting worse, even sometimes when I sit or watch TV. It seems to be worse after days when I take painkillers for managing back pain. The connection

The Importance of Nutritional Factors and Dietary Management of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
This paper was written with specific reference to Poland. For that reason, there will be elements which are inappropriate in other countries. My main aim in posting is not to distribute the advice contained so much as to highlight that there are at least some people who recognise that there are issues

How much iodine should be taken
Does anyone know what a therapeutic dose of iodine is? David Brownstein treats thyroid disease with large doses but the was a recent docuseries by Alan Christianson saying the exact opposite and that it is too much that causes thyroid disease. The docu series is finished but the Q&A is still on YouTube

Conditions of the brain...
Have suffered from RLS since my teens (I'm 50yo now). Sometimes it gets so bad, I get it in my arms & face as well. I had epilepsy until my late teens & also suffer from bipolar disorder. The only relief I get is to take codeine. It's the only thing that works. All of these conditions are based on

Thyroid scan
Hi, just wanted to say a big thank you for your patience and advice on here. My previous blood results were normal and didn't show raised antibodies but was advised to go for thyroid scan to completely rule out hashimotos. I went yesterday and the scan showed no signs of hashimoto or thyroid disease

Pleurisy? Long post
Hi, new here. 6 weeks ago I went to A&E with severe chest/ left rib pain and vomiting. Without performing an x-ray on me, I was told that it was a spinal disc that was protruding into my rib cage. They said this could have been as a result of giving birth just 9 weeks ago and my posture changing? I was
