I was told I had Graves, but TSH Receptor antibody tests just in. Was it Hashi's all along?
I just had my Medichecks TSH Receptor Antibodies result (the first time I've had this done) The doctor's comment was "Your thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies is normal. This is reassuring as these antibodies are positive in autoimmune thyrotoxicosis such as Grave's disease hyperthyroidism

Iodine dressing and thyroid tests
Hi quick question, I was bit by a small dog this morning and was sent to minor injuries unit by work. They put an iodine dressing on me but mentioned that they used to say not to use iodine in hypothyroid patient's but because it's on my skin and superficial it will be fine. I have little faith in health

Iodine and goitres
Hi I’ve just been diagnosed with having multinodular goitre. I also have an underactive thyroid, take T3 only and feel well. However I still cannot lose weight. I’ve bought some iodine as Ives read it helps with goitres and with losing weight. Does this seem an effective method to take iodine?

Please help with interpreting recent blood results.
I’ve been on Levothyroxine since 2008 after receiving RAI treatment. I’ve been prescribed 100mcg over the past few years , My symptoms go up and down, sometimes hypo , sometimes hyper symptoms. In a previous post I outlined the problems I’ve had with my gut over the past couple of years, all investigations

Questions about types of scans.
We've done 2 PET/CT scans this year. One in May and one in August. I'm trying to avoid another one. Can anyone say why a PET/CT is better than asking for a full body MRI. At this point we are trying to avoid any more radioactive tracer in his body. We will do it if needed. We've had MRI's in the

Should I be referred? GP says no...history of Graves
Hi everyone I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease in 1999 and eventually had radioactive iodine treatment. This seemed to work and I have been having yearly blood tests to monitor things. 18 months ago I hit menopause (I’m 54) and my skin became really dry to the point of eczema and puffy swelling around

A negative association between urinary iodine concentration and the prevalence of hyperuricemia and gout
In my mind, some sort of association between gout and thyroid has long seemed likely. However, it would probably be a gross over-simplification to suggest that everyone with gout is hypothyroid, and their gout was caused by that hypothyroidism. As so many papers, this too calls for further research.

Losing lymph nodes after lung cancer

How are your calcium and PTH levels?
I had RAI treatment for Graves 40 years ago. 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with a parathyroid adenoma and had that removed. (by the way--people who took radio active iodine are advised by the NDC to have their PTH hormone levels tested every 5 years) Recently I have suffered from insomnia and extreme

Looking for advice (post-revision... frenuloplasty...)
I have been on this forum for a year now, reading what you've all been through so it really eased (as well as heightened) my own experience. However, I am still experiencing all sorts of drama. Let me know what you think... I'm 23. I knew I had phimosis my whole life, but I never said anything - daddy
