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

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

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

Thyroid Cancer twice..!
Had hashi then thyroid cancer 10 years ago. 3 years it came back after having RAI and lateral neck dissection! My TSH levels are suppressed 0.02 which is good however my T4 has been abnormally high for over a year. My consultant reduced my Levi from 175 to 150 6 months ago but its still really high.

Vaping CBD and IVF
I don't know if anyone will be able to give a definitive answer to this as I know there is little research into the effects of vaping and even less into CBD, but I'll give it a go. I have a chronic pain condition which has recently flared up with constant severe pain in my shoulder. I've been prescribed

Questions about bone marrow biopsy (having my second one Tuesday 😰) and MDS
I’m really scared, I had thyroid cancer in 2009 with
radioactive
iodine
treatment, and my first bone marrow biopsy back in December was normal but slightly hypocelluar, but does anyone know much about the prognosis if they do find something this time?

"... thyroid stimulatory hormone (TSH) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) ..."
New study from Hungary [1]. Odd to think that the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) might affect PSA, or vice versa. "PSA levels were higher in patients with TSH below (n = 405) than in those with TSH within reference range (TSH 0,35-4,95 mU/ml) (n = 6698) (PSA level: 1.118 [0.639-2.338] vs. 0.920 [0.508

Since I havent seen my neurologist in about TWO YEARS, I had a bunch of questions for him. here they are and here are his answers: Any value in genetic testing? No. Should we test my gut bacteria? No. Would Stem cell replacement be beneficial? Still experimental. No. Have you ever heard of the Marty

Is an iodine supplement a good idea?
Does anyone have any information on iodine supplements? I read that iodine in the form of Kelp is good for HF but not sure whether to try it. I can’t find any interactions with other medications but if it is such a good thing, then why don’t more people take it?

GRAVES AND THYROTOXICOSIS : NEURAL AND MENTAL CHANGES
The patient received 4 mCi of
radioactive
131I. After
radioactive
iodine
therapy, the patient was given an antithyroid drug that brought her thyroid hormone levels back to normal. When this drug was discontinued, her FTI returned to 15.7.

Graves, now 'hypo' after RAI, but always feel hot
I find it hard to manage over 23 degrees. Last summer was really difficult, and last week I had to hibernate with a fan. I was diagnosed with Graves, and had RAI in 1989. I have been 'hypo' ever since, and I thought that would mean I'd feel the cold but I don't. My TPOAb are slightly high eg 56 (0

Iodine as a Prostate Cancer Preventative
I've been on a soapbox lately espousing the benefit of iodine supplementation. Here is an article by Dr Brownstein that is of interest regarding prostate and breast cancer. https://www.newsmax.com/health/davidbrownsteinmd/prostate-cancer-iodine-cysts/2017/05/10/id/789369/ It might be too late for many
