Leg swelling - hyperthyroid
Hi, I was diagnosed with Graves two months ago, put on 20mg Carbimazole, 120mg Diltiazem daily. My last blood test on Dec 7 showed my thyroid numbers are in the normal range for the most part and so my Carbimazole dose was reduced to 5mg once per day; I was taken off the calcium channel blocker. I

John Midgley
Hi Everyone, I am so sorry to tell you all that our beloved Dr John Midgley passed away peacefully on Saturday afternoon. I am so saddened by this news, as I know many of you will be. He worked so hard with his colleagues to make things better for thyroid patients. He will be sadly missed on this

TPO ab dropped to 'normal' levels
Good Morning all! I'm not here very often these days because largely thanks to the advice and support of the superstars here, my thyroid medication has been under control for a few years now. I hope this is a beacon of hope for those of you still battling through. I take my NHS t4 and I supplement

Surgeon in Liverpool as requested thyroid bloods and thyroid antibodies 🤗
Hi everyone ❤️ Just posting this, as some members who have been following my struggle with thyroid medication these past 4 years, I decided to discontinue the T4 teva, the silly endo put me back on after taking me off the t3 which was not working due to gastric issues, forgetting also that teva t4 did

Thyroid ultrasound
I've had my thyroid ultrasound done and the report says I have a very small gland. Smaller than average. Does this suggest less activity? Has anyone else been diagnosed with a smaller than usual thyroid gland

Does this sound like Hashimoto's please?
Hello, My thyroid has been under suspicion for many years but I cannot seem to get any answers. Postnatally, (four months after giving birth), some fifteen years ago, my TSH was tested and was 12.6. Nothing was done about this. ( I have only just seen this on my NHS app). Fast forward to eight years

Covid booster shot and thyroid levels
Hello everyone: I’m just wondering if anyone has noticed new hypo symptoms after taking the new bivalent booster. I had my shot two weeks and started having new joint pains a couple days after the shot. It’s now two weeks later and symptoms have intensified. Pains all over my body, the worse ones
