Recent blood results. May I have your thoughts please
I was diagnosed Hashimoto's and take Metavive as prescribed by Dr P; it's whole bovine thyroid gland. Lately, I'm unconvinced that I'm taking enough because of being unable to shift some stubborn weight and chronic insomnia but also, I wanted to know what my thyroid status is without help, so I stopped

Untreated hyper- A&E?
I’m currently waiting to be referred for
radioactive

Is it ok to take Quinine
Hi. I have suffered with RLS off and on for years and years but stretching my calf muscles seemed to fix it. Recently RLS has got much worse. I had complete knee replacement 12 weeks ago and all is good. About 10 days ago RLS flared up one night and I couldn’t get rid of it. I’ve now been taking

Please help with interpreting recent blood results.
I’ve been on Levothyroxine since 2008 after receiving RAI treatment. I’ve been prescribed 100mcg over the past few years , My symptoms go up and down, sometimes hypo , sometimes hyper symptoms. In a previous post I outlined the problems I’ve had with my gut over the past couple of years, all investigations

Advice on pregnancy supplements - currently taking Wild Nutrition but worried about the low iodine content.
Hi there, I am looking for view on pregnancy supplements. I really like the Wild Nutrition brand as they are developed by a nutritional therapist and are food grown but I'm worried about the low iodine content. It seems much lower than the recommendations for pregnant women. Any thoughts on whether there

Determined to walk Darcy this morning
3 weeks now I have walked Darcy 2 miles every morning. Woke this morning stiff and sore had to take codeine, Etoricoxib and paracetamol but determined to walk. 1/2 a mile less but it took an extra 45 minutes. Hate when this disease beats me I’m a bad looser. Thanks for listening to my grump. I’m off

Restless Legs in Pregnancy
Hi everyone, I am not even sure why I am writing this message - partly because I want to vent; partly because I would like some advice. I have had about 2-3 episodes of mild and short lasting (3ish days) of restless legs outside of pregnancy. I remember the restless legs to be quite bad in my first pregnancy

Goitre appearing after 15 years even though on T4 and T3 replacement meds
I am a 37 year old European male (75 kg - 183 cm). I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism around 15 years ago. At that stage I had a goitre, which eventually went away either due to Thyroid meds or perhaps the immune response lessened or it killed off most of the thyroid (thyroid antibodies were detected

Thyroidectomy/Buying T3 in Turkey
Hi everyone. I’m currently in hospital in Turkey awaiting a thyroidectomy due to carbimazole induced neutropenia. I’m taking Lugol’s iodine to bring my levels down, and as soon as it’s safe to do so I’ll be having surgery. If anyone has any tips or advice related to the surgery or recovery, it would
