tinnitus and hypothyroidism
Has anybody gotten tinnitus after RAI? Over the years, mine started mildly, disappeared, returned and now it's very loud. I've recently upped my dose of Tirosint from 75 to 88 mcg, thanks to great advice I got here. Is that a cause and it will pass? Could it be due to a vitamin deficiency? Anxiously

Got all my results- what to do next??
I now have all my results back and not sure what to do next? 2003 I had graves and then took RAI. I’ve currently been on 125mg Levothyroxine per day. I’m 42 and I feel awful, fatigue, weight gain, moods, lack of interest, brain fog... joints aches, neck pain- few to mention. I’m sick of feeling like

Recently, I've been experiencing hyperthyroid symptoms that are a bit extreme. I had RAI in January 2019, was diagnosed with Graves. Had a terrible conversion issue on levothyroxine, high reverse T3, high antibodies, and generally terrible time until February 2020. I've been seeing a functional medicine

Iodine drops
Hi, I’ve heard from few natural holistic practitioners that taking iodine drops daily helps with thyroid illnesses to boost energy levels. Can anyone elaborate or have any useful info regarding it or experience in taking iodine drops for their thyroid health. Thanks

Bovine thyroid supplements
Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone has good experiences with bovine thyroid supplements from new zealand. After changing from armour (which worked perfectly) to erfa (not so good for me) to synthetic L thyroxine and cytomel, I gained a lot of weight. Would novothyral be better? I have a new orthomelcular

Really starting to worry. :(
So for the past 5 years I’ve been getting pains around my right shoulder blade area after I eat anything or it can come on when walking. Went to see my GP who put it down to a rotator cuff injury, which I was sceptical about but because it didn’t cause me much hassle, I left it. Fast forward to 9 weeks

A new path - 2 weeks after Aortic Valve and Root Op
Hi all I can't quite believe that 2 weeks ago I'd just left operating theatre. Over the past week I've: - reduced meds down to 4 plus occassional) codeine - ventured out of house for walks round the block - arranged stitch (drains) removal and BP/HR appointment - had glass of wine with tea! I've started

Just managed to talk my consultat about not having RAI and Give the block and replace another go. He said if I have another relapse that i will have to go for it. Why do they push RAI over block and replace? Surely as we know that once it's done it's done and no going back. I am 42 and dont want to give

Here is an extract what I read on Gutsense.org re salt

The table salt in the American diet is the sole source of iodine, a trace element essential for thyroid health. Salt is

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
