Iodine
I've read about having a 24 hour iodine loading test (urine). Does anyone know about this?

Serum iodine in the dumper
Hi, I just received the results of my iodine blood test, and it’s 24 out of a range of 52-109. I had my thyroid removed many years ago after Graves disease, and have never been able to keep my T3 levels above the bottom third of range, regardless of T4 and TSH. I keep reading that it’s not a good idea

Looking for some help and advise ( Hashimoto's )
Hi all! I would like to share my story to see if you could shed some light. I’ll try to be as brief as possible! I’m 38 and I've been suffering from Hashimoto's for 15 years and half of them I was on a wrong medication / not well diagnosed. 2 years ago, I found a good medical herbalist that helped me

Help with test results please.
I had RAI in July 2017 and I have been not feeling great on 100mcg of Levothyroxine even though GP/Endo say this is the right dose for me. The endo agreed to trial t3 for 6months to see if I felt better, unfortunately the GP refused and endo said she is no longer able to prescribe it by managers etc.

The parade and opening of the gates went well and i got some lovely photos of the occasion.My

Is RAI the right decision for a 20 year old.

High iodine dietary intake is associated with type 2 diabetes among women of the E3N-EPIC cohort study
There has always been quite a lot of interest in and controversy about the idea of taking iodine in thyroid disorders. The opinions range from actively avoiding foods known to be among even the slightly higher range of iodine content (e.g. some fish and shellfish), through simply eating without making

Surgery or RAI
Hi. I’ve been told I have a lump on my lower right lobe of the thyroid which has been picked up in a RAU scan. I’m now booked for a ultrasound next week and need to decide on what I want to do : RA treatment or surgery but I’m unsure. What are the pros and cons? Possibility of cancer has been mentioned

Testosterone Therapy & Thyroid Function Issues
Would appreciate some advice on my latest bloods. For the past 6 months or so I’ve been on testosterone replacement therapy and been struggling to dial in a dose that works for me. All in all been feeling awful which I suspect is partly due to my thyroid struggling. I think I had a thyroid issue before

Occurrence and management of an aberrant free T4 in combination with a normal TSH
One of the more common questions we see is why Free T4 levels do not always correspond with TSH. Although in many ways this paper is not that important, it does provide a neat, simple check list of possible reasons for FT4 being higher or lower than would be predicted by TSH alone. The very fact that

iodine
I have Hashi, high TG antibodies. My urine iodine level is 1. Optimal is 100-200. Can I take iodine without creating a flareup? I have started to take organic iodine 231 mcg with 200mcg Selenium. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thyroid scan vs Endo - who’s right?
Hello all, strange question here. I am diagnosed hypothyroid and take euthyral (a combo pill t3/t4) as prescribed by my old endo, and everything is ok in that area. However, my old endo is unavailable and I am seeing someone new. I find some of her statements already very strange/questionable and would
