I wonder if other have these symptoms..
Hello, I posted here a few months ago about my hypothyroidism treatment. I'm currently on 125 L-thyroxine and mostly fine. I'm even back to doing the housekeeping! In a couple weeks I'm having another blood test and will see the endo to adjust the drug level. I say 'mostly fine' because I have an occasional weir... 23 Jul 2008 09:11

Thyroid eye disease: Can it recur?

In March of this year, I got light sensitivity again. Not as bad this time, but it is still lingering. I didn't t... 20 Jul 2008 16:35

Update, can anyone recommend a maverick Endocrinologist?
Hi everyone I saw the Endocrinologist today and she has refused to recognise anything other than the Short Synacthen results. As my cortisol went from 230 to 700 when injected with that huge dose of ACTH she is refusing to treat my adrenal problem on the basis that she 'might get struck off' if she does let ... 23 Jul 2008 15:23

I need some idea's/ advice please; long :-(
I don't know how common this is for Hypo patients in general - but I definitely have this problem when I am too Hypo. I can't speak clearly. It is *extremely* frustrating. I can't speak without mumbling AND I can't recall words quickly enough to speak in an intelligent way. The latter I attribute to the "brain fo... 22 Jul 2008 10:38

Iodised Salt in Processed Foods
Necessarily UK-oriented as that is my experience. Yesterday I looked at a pack of stock cubes - and saw that they were made with iodised sea salt. I can't remember ever seeing this *as an ingredient* before. (Probably me forgetting. :-) ) Then I looked at all the other stock cubes - not one is made with io... 15 Jul 2008 07:10
