Hi everyone,I have been on Levothyroxine for 4 years, I just switched to Tirosent medication 6 months ago. I have struggled with Diverticulitis and HPlori. The Dr keeps putting me on Protonix (Proton Pump Inhibitor) until yesterday, I was told to go off it and take Amoxicillin and Metronidazole. This

Graves, low TSH low hormones
Hi all, I was hyperthyroid in 2003 treated with thiamazole, Hashimoto's hypothyroid in 2015, in 2018 TSI antibodies went up again, but I was left untreated for neither one thing nor the other. Then I started having these horrible awakenings (adrenaline surges), fatigue, tachycardya… it got better with

New GP who understands thyroid!!
Private endocrinologist discharged me back to my surgery as he "could not" treat me with my TSH being back in range, positive TPO in the 300's & ultrasound showing small thyroid (ords) still highly symptomatic, saw another GP at the practice really to ask for a 2nd opinion. New GP listed my symptoms

Taking LEVO. Should I stop eating goitrogenic vegetables?
I’ve just read about Goitrogenic foods and their effects on the thyroid. Do all of you that have Hypothyroidism and are “in the know” avoid these? I’ve been vegetarian (for many years) and my evening meal always consists of lots of vegetables, (including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower etc), but I’

Thyroid s
Hi, I asked about purchasing thyroid s in uk before and someone was kind enough to pm me with the details. At the time I decided not to go ahead, but with my wife now also being prescribed armour the cost is just becoming too much. Could someone advise, please. Thanks

You were all right!
Ok I posted a couple weeks back that I had mild active Thyroiditis and TED.....but somewhat blocked the idea of Graves. Saw my endocrinologist today ....firstly he was impressed (thanks to the dedication of my optician) how quickly I had been seen and treatment started ....but feels it looks like Graves

Another CLL ‘wobble’, seems like I’m ‘losing it’ slightly.
Hi all, and once more I am looking for information from the vast well of expertise which is out there. Recently I ‘wobbled’ about being in subset 6. The thing that precipitated my regrettable ‘wobble’ and erroneous ‘consultation’ with Dr Google & Dr ChatGPT was the fact that I was reviewing my CLL position

Modafinil - thoughts
I am nervous in posting this. Please Admins jump in and close / moderate if needed etc. I think modafinil has helped me get through low thyroid. There did not seem to be much on the web about modafinil and thyroid. A post on reddit I think, says it used to be prescribed to support thyroid in US but
