Help deciphering DNA and blood test results please anyone?
Long post alert. Apologies. I had thyroid cancer in 2013 treated with surgery, RAI and ongoing TSH suppression. Due to DNA results showing a likely problem with conversion (although bloods always normal) I recently upped T3 to 40mcg and lowered T4 to 100mcg. I actually feel worse. I'm also Homozygous

Thyroid and headaches
About two months ago I had extreme fatigue and migraines and found my TSH was 109. Since then I've gone on supplements which have handled the tiredness for the most part. I take Selenium, Magnesium, Iodine and other supplements connected to the thyroid but still get a headache/migraine that incapacitates

Allergic Reaction to Levothyroxine?
Hi guys, So I have Graves disease and got the RAI. I went hypo around the beginning of July and started 50 mcg of Levothyroxine. (These are all in the US scale of measurements) I recently went in to get tested and T4 was .70 (normal range 0.85-1.88) but my TSH was 0.1 (normal 0.45-5). My endocrinologist

Day after RAI
So I had my little radioactive pill yesterday morning. Loved the solid lead gift wrapping! It was a low dose so I've avoided a hospital stay.

hashimotos and contrast dye
Is it safe for me to have an iodine contrast dye injection for a CT Angiogram Coronary ? I have hashimotos and am concerned that the iodine will damage my thyroid health.

RAI
My friend's doctor told her that they no longer treat an overactive thyroid with radio active iodine - because it is to dangerous. Is this true?

Over medicated?
Hi, over the last week or so, I have noticed that I am sweating a lot more than usual, it is similar to when I was diagnosed as Hyperthyroid, however since having had RAI in 2013, the sweating improved a lot. Could it be that I am over medicating? I am taking 200mcg Levothyroxine (my g.p. wanted to increase

Radioactive Iodine Therapy
Hi all. I have Graves which appeared after my kids were born but responded to Carbimazole /PTU. Earlier this year it flared again (stress-related) and the ATDs aren't working (TSH <0.01 FT4 >100) & have caused my white blood cells to fall to dangerous levels. I've had to stop the Carbimazole & am waiting

Alllergic reaction to Fucidin cream? fucidic acid?
Has anyone had an allergic reaction to using Fucidin cream? I was prescribed it to apply to sores on my leg, now I've got an itchy red lumpy rash all over my arms and torso. Saw my GP, doesn't know what it is. To me it looks like an allergy, I know I'm allergic to penicillin. My left leg & foot is swollen

My joints ache my energy has upped and gone. I feel emosh for no reason and I don’t know what to eat as I think food makes me worse.

NDT private prescription what do you pay is anyone getting it on NHS
Hi all, I have no thyroid destroyed with RAI because of Graves. I am intolerant to thyroxine and currently on T3. I am pretty well on it but do feel an underlying something still missing. I was reading up more on NDT in the past I dismissed it as everything I previously read suggested that T1 and T2

First blood test results
've just started my low iodine diet, a few weeks after a TT for papillary carcinoma. Just received the results from a test done two weeks after the op. From my position of not much knowledge it looks like I'm deficient in b12, possibly anemic. I'm on 150mcg of Levo daily, and the oncologist has advised
