Started new thyroid medication Mon 😡
Sorry everyone but this is going to be a rant.... As many members will know I stopped taking my thyroid medication on January 31st because the incompetent endo put me back on teva, which I certainly don't get on with (gastric side effects amongst other side effects) Through my surgeon in Liverpool for

Hi. Hope you all well. Does anyone have experience coming off levothyroxin 50mg? I had my left thyroid removed 10 years ago. My right thyroid producing too much thyroxine and making me very ill. Many thanks.

COPD & thyroid problems
After having what I thought was an elongated COPD exacerbation lasting over 8 weeks which has resulted in me taking 4 lots of antibiotics and 2 lots of steroids, it’s now been suggested that I may have a thyroid problem. I always felt the problem was in my throat region, with lots of throat clearing,

Thyroid nodules surgery survey (BTF)
Posting this because helping with research is often a good idea. However, there are only three days to go! I've only just noticed it and have not gone through what they are asking for. [i]

Fennel Seeds
Hi everyone, I've recently done some research into fennel seeds, and I've read that apparently it contains a compound called Anethole, which helps to relax the muscles in your digestive tract. I was just wondering if anyone here has eaten fennel seeds before and can verify this. I am looking for ways

half life T3 in NDT
I've read over a period of time that T3 has half-life of anywhere from 2-2.5 days. I have, always, assumed (bad thing!) that was for synthetic T3. Anyone know, if that time-frame is applicable to dessicated T3? My FT3 shot up from 2.7 in late Feb. to 3.85 2 weeks ago. I had increased dose from97.5

Amoxicillin
I have to take anti biotics 3 x a day for 5 days. I take thyroid meds at 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. Could someone help with how I fit my anti biotics in between thyroid meds? Thank you.

No more propafenone!!!! What???
I'm in the U.S., diagnosed PAF ~3 years ago. Have achieved excellent control with propafenone (Rythmol). My pharmacy informed me they cannot refill my prescription, as there is a supply side problem with propafenone. From what I have read, there is a dangerous shortage of propafenone in the U.S and

High Thyroid Antibodies symptoms
Hi everyone, I am wondering whether having high antibodies can affect one's overall being. After a very bad experience of labyrinthitis in 2022 which led me to an ultrasound investigation when a multi nodular goitre was discovered by an endocrinologist. I was advised then that it was benign and

why does our thyroid suddenly become less effective?
I was almost 54 when a blood test told me I had a less effective thyroid and since this time last year I’ve gone from 50mcg to 75 and now up to 100 to see if it can get to the right level. I’ve been a serial dieter for 30 years and have blamed this. My Father had a goitre most of his adult life that

Shingrix vaccine for immunosuppressed people aged 50+
I thought I would just post this from the gov.uk website because I have just a bit of struggle convincing our surgery that I was eligible, so maybe other people haven't been invited either. The full list is on chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk

Scared and Frustrated
The beginning of February i thought i had the beginnings of maybe a stomach bug. Bloating, gas, sudden urge and need to use the bathroom.... only nothing would come, just mucus and very very small amounts if unformed fluff. This continued till I noticed i hadn't had a real movement for nearly two weeks

hip replacement & taking Flecainide 150mg x 2
Hi everyone - I have been on Flecainide 150mg twice daily for nearly a year now (increased from 100mg x 2) and thus far the A.F episodes (17 in 2022) have ceased. My problem now is I am facing the prospect of hip replacement surgery & wonder if anyone else has experienced this and did they have to stop

Some advice please
Hi, I'm in surgical menopause and have not felt 'well' for a number of years now. I won't bore you with the backstory of my trials and tribulations with HRT, all in the pursuit of feeling well enough to fully function. I've questioned Thyroid for some time, I had tests last September and posted them
