OPERATIONS WITH RLS
Has anyone suffering from severe RLS undergone a hip or knee operations? I have had both hips replaced and have just got home from having a knee replaced.. It is quite apparent that nursing staff do not know very much about RLS and the effect that it has on the healing process of such operations.

What is the safe time between taking levothyroxine and omeprazole, 6 hours?
Hi I'm new to hypothyroidism after
Radioactive
iodine
treatment and have graves. I'm also still under adjustment of levothyroxine 100mcg at present and am getting heartburn quite a lot. I used to take omeprazole for acid reflux and understand that it affects the absorption of levothyroxine.

Garlic and whole wheat bread are helpful
I noticed that my wife's spaghetti sauce seemed to help my RLS. After a few weeks I realized that it was the garlic in the sauce that seems to make a difference. Garlic alone will not get me safely through the night, but when combined with 24mg of codeine, 1.5mg of ropinirole, and 200mg of gapapentin

Thyroidectomy or RAI - pros and cons
Hello, my husband (39 years old) has been diagnosed with Graves’ disease in January 2018. His results are now very good and the antibodies have dropped significantly, in fact they are very low. He is on 12.5mg of PTU every other day. His endo however thinks that he can relapse very quickly (like within

A Desperate New Mom Really Needs Your Help - Surgery or Radioactive or Carbimazole

Radioactive Iodine Treatment or Thyroidectomy?
However, with the
radioactive
iodine
, my endo said that I would have to stay one metre away from people for three weeks. To me, this feels very isolating. Having gone through treatment like that and not being allowed near anyone. Has anyone had different advice?

Too much iodine
I see a functional doc here in the US. I have blood drawn monthly and usually things are mostly fine. A little over two months ago my bloodwork showed my iodine level to be low, he told me to supplement so I did. I was feeling fine, had my bloodwork last month which showed my iodine had gone back to

Does Tramadol cause rls
My mum has been taking tramadol for 10+ years. She initially took it for pain and then later when diagnosed with rls, she continued to take it. 7 weeks ago I took my mum to the gp as gabapentin was not helping any more, gp gave her pregabalin 75mg twice a day. After this she had an appointment with

Ongoing lower pain- any advice as desperate for help
Hi. I wonder if anyone knows what the severe pain I get over my groin area is? Its also outside my vagina and the pain is like a dagger being twisted constantly. Only thing that eases it is strong codeine together with hot water bottle and laying down. It is very tiring. Have had bowel and gyni specialists

Dopamine agonist withdrawal
Hello to all, I am looking for advice, support and somewhere to whine. I wrote before as I have got off a daily dose of SR pramipexole .75 mg and 1 tab sinemet 100/25. I took 6 weeks to do it . My dr wanted me to do it more quickly but I did not, having struggled through the whole misery once before

Carbimazole side effects
I am quite intolerant of Carbimazole - liver enzymes are abnormal and my white cell count is low -neutropenia and really sore gums/teeth. All a reaction to the meds but my Endocrynologist insists the alternatives medications are not much better. It’s take the meds or surgery or RA Iodine - my anti-bodies

Radiofrequency ablation Thyroid NHS
Hello, I have written a few posts previously and I am looking for any advice you wise people can offer! I have a overactive toxic nodule on thyroid, due to having small children I have now been offered surgery rather than RAI. I have asked my consultant about Radiofrequency ablation instead and whether

2nd question re Hashimotos
I didn't have any replies to earlier request for advice today so perhaps no-one has Hashimotos on this forum? Diagnosed today- 2nd question is what dietary changes are wise and what effect does iodine have- seems to be conflicting advice - particularly re fish so quite unsure here.

Conversion problems :(
My endo strongly insisted that I should not take T3 or even increase T4. We almost had an argument and at the end he was really angry. So we reached a compromise I increased my T4 from 75mcg to 100mcg and these are the results. TSH 0.02 ( 0.30-4.20) FT4 26.5 ( 12.00-22.00) FT3 4.4 (3.10-6.80) previously

Painkillers
So once again I have another appointment at the doctors due to being in constant pain. Codeine does not seem to work. Does anyone have any suggestions for any other pain killers that have worked for them? Thanks
