Thyroid disease and osteopenia/osteoporosis
Hello everyone, I've had the results of my DEXA scan which shows I am at the top of the osteopenia score - any higher and I will have osteoporosis. Oddly, this is only in my hips - the scan showed my spine and femur compares well with someone in their 20s. I'm wondering if this is in any way linked

adrenal gland & thyroid
I recently read a book āThe Great Thyroid Scandal (and how to avoid it)ā and ātickedā my way through the book as I have had 90% of the various symptoms detailed in the book for the past 30 years. It suggested that the adrenal gland & thyroid work closely together & if thyroid is not functioning as it

Trying to make sense of thyroid ultrasound
Hello everyone šš» I went for a thyroid ultrasound scan this morning. I explained to the doctor what I've been through the last few months, that I have TPO antibodies, thyroid hormones fluctuating etc. finally I found someone who knew what Hashimotos is! But, he's not an endocrinologist so I'm guessing

HRT after Thyroid Cancer
Hi everyone this is my first post. I had papillary thyroid cancer 12 years ago when I was 26. Radical neck dissection full thyroidectomy dozen lymph nodes removed. I've been on a rollercoaster with thyroxine for all that time struggling to feel well. Just got a new diagnosis of significant endometriosis

Subsequent to previous posts
Went back to GP again today after previous visit about clubbed fingers and breathing trouble. Booked an urgent blood test and need to provide samples then I will get a scan to check for cancer. I don't know how I feel about this tbh, wanted him to tell me it was all in my head and for that to be true

Swallowing issue
It's not a huge deal, but I seem to have some trouble swallowing lately (last month or so). Could that be related to my thyroid meds adjustment? I added T3 (15mcg) to my 75mcg Levo about 7 weeks ago. Or IS IT POSSIBLE to have a goitre inside the throat area that doesn't show on the neck? I do have Hashimotos

Shoulder pain and stiffness
in the last few months I have been experiencing a lot of pain in the base of my neck, across my shoulders and in my shoulder joints. I also have really tight muscles and knots in my upper back. Having read previous posts on here and read other information I am wondering if it is all thyroid related.

Can thyroid function recover after RAI
I received RAI in 2010 for alleged nodules but then consultant thought I may have had Graves disease instead. Over the last 13 years, I have had my levothyroxine reduced from 150 to 100 and I fear it will be reduced again. I am 55 years old. My question is why does the doseage need reducing? Is it

Graves Disease
Hi, I have type 2 diabetes, I was over-prescribed metformin which had its horrors. When I came off it I was quickly diagnosed with thyroxicosis and hypercalcemia. Saw the endocrinologist yesterday. |He sat there and said do you know what you have wrong with you, then he told me I had Graves disease
