Thyroidectomy or RAI - pros and cons
Hello, my husband (39 years old) has been diagnosed with Graves’ disease in January 2018. His results are now very good and the antibodies have dropped significantly, in fact they are very low. He is on 12.5mg of PTU every other day. His endo however thinks that he can relapse very quickly (like within

'Brief radiation spike' after rocket engine blast in northern Russia
With the history of Chernobyl so recently revisited, anything even slightly related is going to hit the headlines. But the reason I am posting is not about the incident itself, certainly not intending to cause concerns or worry. (I think the wind is blowing it in the oppostite direction.) No, it is

Radiofrequency ablation Thyroid NHS
Hello, I have written a few posts previously and I am looking for any advice you wise people can offer! I have a overactive toxic nodule on thyroid, due to having small children I have now been offered surgery rather than RAI. I have asked my consultant about Radiofrequency ablation instead and whether

CRPC & 'Drug Repositioning'
New study [1]. "The drug candidates of sorafenib, olaparib, elesclomol, tanespimycin, and ponatinib were predicted to be active for the treatment of CRPC. Meanwhile, CRPC-related genes, in this case MYL9, E2F2, APOE, and ZFP36, were identified as having gene expression data that can be reversed by these

I also seem to remember them telling me it was okay but I am not too sure what this might mean? is this

Iodine Content of Thyroid Hormones
Another document to try to help in understanding thyroid hormones. We have had many threads where the iodine content of thyroid hormones has been discussed. This has often not been understood. Sometimes it has looked as if iodine is an extra ingredient - not a fundamental part of the thyroid hormone

High iodine induces DNA damage in autoimmune thyroiditis partially by inhibiting the DNA repair protein MTH1
We see an awful lot of people "advised" (by anyone they talk to and most especially anyone who speaks beyond their understanding) to take iodine simply because the word "thyroid" has been mentioned in relation to their disorder. Doesn't seem to matter whether they have hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism

Graves, now 'hypo' after RAI, but always feel hot
I find it hard to manage over 23 degrees. Last summer was really difficult, and last week I had to hibernate with a fan. I was diagnosed with Graves, and had RAI in 1989. I have been 'hypo' ever since, and I thought that would mean I'd feel the cold but I don't. My TPOAb are slightly high eg 56 (0
