Hashis and Graves? Watch and Wait has now caught up.
About 15 months or so, I had an appointment for a thyroid specialist as my thyroid tests pointed towards Graves. I had been hypothyroid for about 17years when my different results meant my gp prescribing less and less levo. When the amount became 12.5mcg, (after an original 150 mcg) I asked to be

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

The uptake results are in... and more confusion
I've received my uptake scan results today, which I was expecting to show a toxic nodule or few. Instead the report states..... There is uptake seen throughout the thyroid gland with relative increased tracer activity on the right when compared to the left, however, no focal nodule is seen. Thyroid

Painkiller for after Dental Procedure
So next week I’m going to my dental surgery to get three tooth implants. The first session is when they drill metal rods into the bone. Once the local anaesthetic wears off it’s very painful. I’ve had one done before now this time three at once!! Last time I didn’t know about my CKD so as I can’t take

lidocaine infusion didn’t work - I feel so down, what should I do?
I have severe chronic pain, and I’ve tried lots of medicines (nortriptyline, amitryptyline, co-codamol, codeine, tramadol, tapentadol), I’m currently on gabapentin 400mg x 3 times a day. But still in SO much pain. So I went to a private doc who suggested lidocaine infusions. I had my first infusion

Iodine
I know there are discussions about the possibility of worsening Hashimotos but would there be a problem having a very low dose of it whilst on T3 and T4 meds if careful?

is it back again?
I’ve been off prednisolone for almost a year now and I’m really, really stiff in the mornings and I literally hobble out of bed. During the night I wake several times with throbbing pain deep in my leg muscles and also sometimes in my arms. I feel as if it sometimes spirals round my groin and legs so

Update on safe pain relief
Received phone call from Liver Doctor yesterday tea time. I was told that it was safe for me to take up to 3g Paracetemol daily which is up to 6 x 500mg tablets daily. 8mg of Codeine daily can be taken if necessary along with a laxative as it can cause constipation. Tramadol and other Opiates should

Checking medication
Hi, I was chatting to a colleague today about their restless legs which have been unbearable lately. Their doctor put them on Perindopril for high blood pressure, Amiodipine- a calcium channel blocker, and Fenofibrate for high cholesterol. He thought they made his legs so much worse (his doctor doesn't

Mother in pain
My 88 year old mother has severe osteoporosis and kyphosis. She has episodes of severe back pain under her shoulders, which I am assuming is due to vertebral fractures of the spine. She uses a heating pad, over the counter pain medicine, and Tylenol with codeine when she cannot tolerate the pain anymore

On Lithium, have hypothyroidism,no longer responding to T4 and less to T3. Starting low iodine diet.
I have just started a low Iodine diet as set out by a recent book advocating this to reset the thyroid for Hypothyroidism patients. I have been on Lithium by Bipolar for 15 years. 7 years ago I developed Hypothyroidism. Initially I partially responded to T4 but after 3-4 years I completely slowed down
