Iodine excess and hyperthyroidism

The presence of thyroid autoimmunity in patients residing in iodine-insufficient areas who develop iodine-induced hyperthyroidism has not been unanimously observed.

Going from Graves to being hypothyroid without RAI or thyroidectomy

Appointment as aspected 😢
As expected, I got nowhere. Consultant apologised and said he knows it’s frustrating but as results are in range, he can’t do anything. He said normal range is the average range of the normal population and I’m in that range for everything so as an endocrinologist, he can’t do anymore. Said the people

Good news - different injector - no blood shot eyes!
I recently wrote than when a particular individual did my eye injections I came out with two bloodshot eyes. This person said there may be some bruising as I’m now taking blood thinners. I wasn’t sure this was true as thought it was more likely her technique, which despite reassuring words felt more

Appointment tomorrow
Hi everyone. I have a hospital appointment tomorrow and don’t hold much hope. Long story short... RAI in 2011. Now hypo and health has got worse over the years. Lots of symptoms. Never get anywhere trying to get a T3 trial. Last hospital appointment in September was a waste of time and was fobbed

My Thyroid Story Part II
Dr OPQ, GP/homeopath So, after lengthy chats with one of my students, who was a great fan of homeopathy, I thought I’d give that a go. Not much choice of doctors where I live, but managed to find one that also did acupuncture, which was a bonus. To his credit, he did say straight up that he didn’t know

Sublinical Hypothyroidism?
Hi Everyone, I've recently been to A and E for palpitations and they have found no issue with my heart. This is the second time this has happened this year. These always come with the usual symptoms below that occur in the run up and aftermath. Usually I dose up on vitamins and it eventually seems to

Diet and exercise for hyperthyroidism?
Hi all, Has anyone tried a low iodine diet combined with exercise to control their overactive thyroid (Graves’ disease), either as a sole treatment or in conjunction with other treatments? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

The ABC of Disease book by Philip Day
Has anyone read the above book and especially his section on thyroid disease? He recommends, for hypo, taking Lugo's Iodine (self medicating before having to resort to thyroxine) - has anyone tried this? His advice on diet & supplements is also very helpful. Interestingly, he refers to the book called

Iodine Content of Celtic Sea Salt
We see many people mentioning that they get iodine from Celtic Sea Salt. I don't dispute that it does contain some iodine. But the amount might be rather less than we tend to imagine. I went to one company's web site (Selina) and checked on their plain Celtic Sea Salt. [i]Q. Does Celtic Sea Salt®

Iodine in end stage Hashimoto´s?
I had a thyroid ultrasound a couple of weeks ago which showed a "completely atrophied thyroid gland" according to the radiologist´s report. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 1999 based on very high anti-TPO and anti-thyroglobulin levels, but both have been in range for the last couple of years which

OLD on blood results
OLD does indeed mean old. The blood sample needs to go to the lab the same day for some tests including Folate Potassium chloride and sodium. My bloods were taken in the afternoon so we’re sent to the lab the next day. A lesson that bloods should be taken early morning. I shall have them done again

SSRI toxicity on thyroid ?
I've read that SSRIs contain halogen atoms that can substitute for Iodine (itself an halogen), making thyroid hormones inefficient. Will it show on the biology (normal T3 and T4 and higher TSH because it will not slow TSH secretion) ? I can't find anything online...

Which Thytoid test is best?
Hello all. I have hypothyroidism after having Radio iodine treatment for Graves several years ago. Levo (irrespective of quantities) hasn't worked for me. I was prescribed Armour two years ago and it was a miracle drug for me but then my health board refused to keep prescribing. I have tried Thai Thiroid

Hashimotos disease?
Hi all, my mum got these results & I was wondering why she would have such high antibodies but thyroid levels in range? Does this mean she has hashimotos? She's not on any medication. I myself have graves disease but now hypo after RAI treatment. Thanks.

iodine deficiency and hashimoto endocrine cancer
I have hashimoto and iodine deficiency. I developed diarrhea and pain in my throat and chest when eating. My 24hr urine test 5hydroxy HIAA was positive. This can indicate neuroendocrine carcinoma. I am trying to find answer to the question whether iodine deficiency contributes to many diseases including
