Experiences with

Thyroid abnormalities

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced Ethanol Ablation on thyroid lobe? The last post I can find was 2yrs ago. I guess it must be more in use now. My husband was scheduled for right lobe removal operation next Thursday then received a letter from his Consultant yesterday saying that on checking

sorry meant to also ask has anyone found taking Ubiquinol helps T4/T3 conversion? Thank you!

(Thyroid scan last week showed no abnormalities, the Doctor said all looked good and thyroid was actually slightly smaller than normal, ????)

I have been wondering if my long term use of heart drug Verapamil has had any affect on my thyroid. I have been on Thyroxine for 22 years and Verapamil for about 18 years. I stumble across the following article and wondered if anyone can make head or tail of it. It says at the end it was safe for the

Hello, I know someone who knows someone etc. at Blue Horizon. And it has been annoying me that they haven't included Active B12 in their Thyroid Gold Premium test as really that only leaves me with Medichecks Advanced Thyroid which is in theory fine, but I like to have a choice. So I told the person

Hi there! I have an NDT thyroid blood test tomorrow morning at 9:00 am. I have read as many posts as I can to understand how to have the most accurate results possible, but because I am currently on antibiotics, I don't think I'll be able to follow all the excellent recommendations. I usually go to bed

I had my thyroid removed in 2003 due to papillary cancer. I have struggled ever since finding the right dosage/supplements. I have just watched Dr Sarah Myhilll's thyroid video for the umpteenth time and have purchased some of her supplements even though some of them contain iodine. Any thoughts

Hello, could you share your experiences if you tried stopping thyroid hormone replacement? I was on NDT for years, developed hyperthyroid symptoms +very low TSH (normal ft3 and ft4), had heart arrythmia and high blood pressure, lost a lot of hair. Taking NDT didn't help with my weight problems or other

Since a young age, I have had hyperthyroidism. I was treated with carbimazole for years and in 2021 I had radioactive therapy (a radioactive table) for my thyroid. This ended up killing it and now I am on level thyroxine. When I first got diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I believe my TSH was 60-ISH. Since

I take 120 Armour Thyroid for Hashimotos . Been on this 2 grain dose for several years but my GP has no clue about it they just allow me to get it on a private prescription.. I’m barely monitored. Been reading on this awesome forum about people splitting the dose and curious to hear if I should do this

Hi there! I was recently prescribed two doses of 5mcg Liothyronine on top of my Erfa Thyroid (90 mcg in the morning and 60 in the afternoon). I find it very difficult to go without food for long enough to squeeze in my second dose of Erfa in the afternoon. This issue has been worse for me lately as I've

Hey thyroid buddies :-) This is probably a question for one of the more experienced members. So I need to move to Sweden and I'm very sad to say that this means I'll need to switch from Erfa to Levothyroxine and Liothyronine. There's very few endocrinologists in Sweden who prescribe NDT and you need

Okay so this may be a confusing and complicated question, but I'm really hoping someone can advise me :-) I’m moving to Sweden soon and need to find a new doctor to prescribe my Erfa (NDT). I’ve heard it can take 6 months to see a private doctor in Sweden. My current dose is 90 mcg Erfa in the morning

These are my latest test results. All protocol done as advised here for blood tests. Would really appreciate any comments on these results, especially if having antibodies well back in range is at all significant? Many of my symptoms have reduced or resolved since being on NDT only for the last 2 years

Hi All I would like help with my latest blood tests results PLEASE and guidance of what to do next ??? I have Autoimmune Hashimotos 27 years ! So to keep this short I’ve recently ( past 3 months ) changed from Armour Thyroid ( took for 5 years ) to Tirosint ( I’m lactose intolerant ) previous

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out for advice on using Ginkgo Biloba to combat brain fog. My previous experience with the Amitamin Ginkgo complex yielded promising results in boosting mental clarity. However, I've noticed it contains iodine (150ug), which I'd rather steer clear of. With that in mind

I posted a few days ago and sadly had no replies! But anyway I had my GP appointment this morning. Explained everything that's been going on, showed her my test results, and her answer to that was i will probably develop an OVERactive thyroid eventually 🤦🏻‍♀️ How she came to that conclusion I do

The British Thyroid Association and the Society for Endocrinology have published their latest consensus statement on the use of liothyronine. The thyroid groups are now working on a feedback document because we have concerns about the impact on thyroid patients of some parts of the guidance. You

I'm just waiting on an endo appointment (T4, T3 have not worked for me, nearly 4 years of chopping and changing meds by gp/endo). Because of gut/stomach issues (malabsorbtion) diarrhoea, cramps, inflammation) I spoke to a parathyroid /thyroid surgeon on Wednesday (with her for primary hyperparathyroidism
