Iodine urine test
Can anyone give me any advice on if there are any drugs or supplements I would need to stop prior to this test. I am on liothyronine, diazepam, bisoprolol and various supplements. No biotin

Iron tablets and messed up system!
Hi everyone. I have had stomach/digestive issues all my life and was finally diagnosed with IBS some 7 years ago. I’ve had numerous stool tests, scans and an endoscopy over the years but had kind of managed to find medication that would ease stomach cramps and bloating etc. I always used to veer towards

Transitioning from 150mcg of Thyroxine to Metavive help please
Hi. I have been on 150 mcg of Thyroxine for 20 years. I am 54 and male. What prompted the switch: I recently started getting a lot of itching and hives on my arms particularly and other areas. I consulted a homeopath and found I was likely experiencing allergic reaction to Thyroxine. The treatment appears

An ironic observation by the first synthesiser of thyroxine
Have been looking through some very old papers about thyroid and found one co-authored by Charles Harington, who was very much to the fore in efficient isolation of thyroxine from animal thyroid, and co-inventor of a method of synthesising thyroxine. The irony from today's perspective lies in this paragraph

Recommended diets for IBS-D?
I am new here and have found the posts very helpful. Does anyone else feel the same about the recommended diets? I have had IBS, mostly D, for 16 years. The low Fodmap foods make me want to laugh! I wish I could eat them. I preferred a vegetarian diet before IBS; now I can rarely eat any vegetables

LVA Surgery - Unsuccessful...?
I have primary lymphedema in my right leg. It first presented itself 3 years ago in my late twenties.

Please help me understand my results - will this TSH level affect my fertility?
Hello all. I have been on Thyreogland - an NDT comprised of 100mcg t4 and 25mcg t3, for the last 2 years. Recently, the dosage I normally take was not in stock! So I have been taking 125mcg t4 and respectively more t3 (I don't know the exact amount), I realise this was a bit stupid given that I felt

BP is well down, but an increase in sodium drives it right back up. What to do?
Hello. Through weight loss/exercise/no caffeine/low sodium/medication (Lisinopril-HCTZ 20-25mg), my blood pressure has dropped from about 190/110 to about 100/65. Cutting back on my sodium intake has made a profound difference. I am a 55 year old male, I exercise daily and I hydrate well. Last weekend

Iodine/Ct Scan.
I’d be really grateful if anyone could answer a quick question. Thank you. My GP this morning has refused to issue my thyroid meds as I’m very overdue a thyroid blood test. However I’ve had a CT scan on a kidney this afternoon, and have just been told that any thyroid blood work will be inaccurate

Iodine test for Hashimotos
I am planning on having a urine iodine test. Would being on liothyronine only interfere with this test or contradict it in any way please?

Dietary iodine intake for Hashimoto's patients - yes or no?
I've read tons of available research re the above question, and I just want to sum it up to make sure I understand it correctly. Those who have increased antibodies like me, but whose thyroid hormone levels are normal so they don't take any meds for their thyroid, need 150 micrograms of iodine a day

Hello everybody!

Im pregnant and a bit uncomfortable to make this change- can you please recommend

Anyone eating Imodium like me?
Anyone eating Imodium like pez to get control of watery/oily bowel movements? I consume 4 to 6 daily and am never constipated. I’ve had a colonoscopy, dr says nothing wrong at that end. Let’s run more test that cost more money. I said no and started taking Imodium then.

? safe to wash iodine out straight away
I have had normal saline to wash eyes after injection and one nurse does it before adding tear drops and one adds tear drops first. When tear drops are done first I find I have very sore eyes for a couple of days, I can ask for saline first but wonder if it's safer to keep iodine there for a it to reduce
