Graves thyroid eye disease (TED) post-thyroidectomy?
Hi all, new here and would appreciate any info you may have re this issue. I've had Graves and associated TED for the past 5 years, and not wanting to be on meds any longer, and also to hopefully help the heart, I scheduled TT for end of 2020. Here is my question: since Graves is the immune system attacking

Undecided on treatment
I’ve read so much about RAI and anti thyroid drugs and I still can’t decide which route to take. I know there are risks with both. I have been diagnosed with Graves and I’m currently on Propylthiouracil. I would like to get pregnant at some point so if I go down the tablet route and end up in remission

Conditions of the brain...
Have suffered from RLS since my teens (I'm 50yo now). Sometimes it gets so bad, I get it in my arms & face as well. I had epilepsy until my late teens & also suffer from bipolar disorder. The only relief I get is to take codeine. It's the only thing that works. All of these conditions are based on

Bleed during Eylea Injection
When he finally appeared, his eye was a mess, it was more or less closed, it has hurt now for 24 hours so taking paracetamol, the eye ointment was dried down his face and the
iodine
was all over the place. I always check who is the Injector after five bad experiences but I was outside.

Fascinating Graves’ Antibodies Study
This is a remarkable study https://eje.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/eje/158/1/69.xml . A couple of caveats. 1. I fortunately have no experience of Graves’. 2. I have not looked for similar studies that may report different results. The study is excellent in that patients were randomly assigned

Pregnant (4 yrs infertility and recurring miscarriage) with (?) Hashimotos - SCARED!
Something without
iodine
? I'm just so confused. THIS TIME I'm 6-7 weeks pregnant. It feels like a miracle. But after 2 miscarriages and trying for almost 5 years I am so nervous and desperate to get this right. What do I need to do!?

Pleurisy? Long post
Hi, new here. 6 weeks ago I went to A&E with severe chest/ left rib pain and vomiting. Without performing an x-ray on me, I was told that it was a spinal disc that was protruding into my rib cage. They said this could have been as a result of giving birth just 9 weeks ago and my posture changing? I was

Is it normal to be in THIS much pain?
The pain is crippling. I’ve had 2 ultrasound scans which showed nothing. The pain comes and goes in waves. On a bad day it’s really bad. The last 7weeks the pain seems to be getting worse. I’m waiting for a date for my laparoscopy. Is it normal for the pain to be mild one day and extreme the next day

Self medicating - Your personal experience and advice appreciated

Critique of Hypothyroidism Basics
Healthy production of thyroid hormones is supported by optimal levels of
Iodine
, Vitamin D, Ferritin, Folate B12, and selenium. Vitamin D can be obtained from sunlight, other vitamins are sourced from supplements like Beef Liver Capsules or other Wholefoods.

Monthly injection continuing
Differences were I was given anti biotic eye drops to use 4 times a day for 4 days also
iodine
was in eyelid for a timed 3 minutes before removal. They are changing those not already in Eylea to that drug and then their next appointment is 8 weeks time.
