Post Iodine treatment - anxiety and severe depression
Hi, My mum had an overactive thyroid and was treated with radioactive iodine in Oct 17. Since then she has become anxious, depressed and afraid to leave the house. She isn't eating (rapid with loss) and feels like life isn't worth living. This is heartbreaking to watch and no one seems to be taking her

Tried everything and still not feeling ok
I have been very tired/sleepy from when I was child. I also have very dry skin, hair loss, low body temperature. Before I tried NDT my t3 was in optimal range, but TSH was in top border. So I decided to try NDT. I have tried in last 5 years many things. 5 different NDT brands, different doses. I tried

Endo appointment - hyperthyroidism
At Today's appointment I was told some things that seem a bit contradictory to the messages on here. I'd be interested in any thoughts. •antibodies can't be controlled through lifestyle changes. They are what they are and can't be got rid of. So gluten free won't affect antibody levels or how unwell

Iodine
Hi guys, I have been spending time watching youtube videos & reading up information about Iodine and how key it is for us, especially for people with an under active Thyroid. It does all make sense, and I haven’t yet come across any “anti” Iodine supplement people. Obviously there are varying products

Eggs and iodine (plus other restrictions)
I have separately kicked off a discussion on an earlier thread over medical medium’s key dietary recommendation to give up eggs. For those who did not read the thread there are plenty of views pro and Con and some saying they enjoy eggs. An email today from a leading US Edno suggests that can reduce

SIBO: akin to leaky gut; Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth. Difficult to treat, though found info on Lugol's Iodine? Can we do iodine?
Now considering the possibility of having SIBO as well.. Looked it up on line. Found references to Lugol's Iodine. Iodine, the double edged sword. Do we or don't we...yet we get told to eat seaweed? I am confused, fed up, not feeling well and seriously running out if patience. My bowel consultant acts

Hyperthyroidism since 2009 any advise?
Before I was diagnosed I was a fitness enthusiast and looked great, lots of friends and had a great career. I woke up one day and felt like I’d been hit by a bus. I went to the Dr. and asked for a lab work up. It was determined to be hyperthyroidism and I was immediately placed on PTU and once I became

Advice on blood tests. I had RAI treatment for Graves 4 years ago
After my RAI I was on 100mg levothyroxine, felt ok, energy levels lower but I put up with it. My TSH was <0.02 and I saw a new GP who felt I was over medicated. So I alternated 100/75 so my dose was 88 mg. I put on a stone and started getting out of Breath on exhersion and my legs ached. I then went

Hi All, I have an under active thyroid and take 125mg of Levothyroxine per day. I also have a Hiatal Hernia and take 40mg of Pantaprazole per day.

May I have advice on cortisol saliva test results, please
I would very much appreciate your help and advice. My doctor is no help and I have privately tested and self-diagnosed over the last three years. I'm not sure if age matters in relation to these results but I am 72. I have followed the B12 Deficiency protocol on the FB page Pernicious Anaemia/B12 deficiency
