Suppressed Thyroid ore unable Thyroid plus T3 problem
As this is my first post I will try and give short history as it is important. At the age of 17 (I am now 74) I was diagnosed with Hypoactive thyroid which strangely made me put on weight and also made one of eyes bulge. I was given iodine in tablet form and eventually things went back to normal .

Just started 100mg levothyroxine how long until symptoms improve?
I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease 4 years ago and had radioactive iodine treatment last October. Since then my bloods last week confirmed I’ve gone severely underactive which explains why I’ve felt so terrible recently. Really suffering with constipation, issues sleeping, anxiety, depression, muscle

Stopping thyroxine
Sorry can’t seem to reply to anyone. Yes it is a radioactive iodine scan to see what is going on. It is normal practice to stop meds for 4 weeks for best results

Swollen face ( parotid gland) and NDT?

Iodine supplementation doesn't affect foetal outcome.
I just make this post which isn't groundbreaking, which shows that giving iodine to pregnant women with a degree of iodine insufficiency improves their personal iodine level but has no effect on the foetus. Unsurprising, because the foetus takes what it needs from the mother, regardless of whether the

Graves’ disease
Hi I am 58 years old and was diagnosed 5 years ago. I took methimazole and got severe allergic reaction. My liver levels are high so my doctor has no other medications for me. She insists I get radioactive iodine to kill it. I am refusing and struggling. I have no symptoms. Once again in awhile

How long can you take meds?
hello everybody. I’ve been taking 40 mg of carbimazol and 100mg of levotheroxin as my bock and replace therapy for Grave’s disease for about 4 years. My levels kind of stable and “in range”. But the endo is constantly bringing the question that I had to stop all meds. I don’t agree with that as I know

Is all Lugol's Iodine created equal? Many brands imply safe oral use but come with a disclaimer 'talisman use only'. help!
Are there labelling restrictions / recent guidelines that prevent companies from 'encouraging' oral use of their lugol's iodine? Or are there different kinds of Lugol's solution, some which are 'food grade' and some not?
