Lesley, Sorry me again!! ha ha. Just looking at the web link and i recall that i had a CT scan prior to my TT in Sept 05. I assume that this also would have...
Hi Lesley, Apparantly these PET scanners cost a small fortune and here in Scotland there is only one PET scanner (in Aberdeen) and only a few in England. I've...
Ah, a CT scan.............haven't "needed" to know so haven't researched! However, I have a recollection that it's one of those scans you don't want to have...
No, Louise, it's not a stupid question. It's not possible to know immediately if you're iodine resistant. It would be a suspicion raised over time because of...
Crikey, Sharon, you're welcome! I knew nothing about Thyca until I got it. I learnt nothing about it until I found the US group - like less than a week before...
I'd love to go to the thyca conference but it's highly unlikely that I could. But in my place I'd like to send all our medical teams and when they get back I'd...
What causes these feelings Lesley?? Is it fluctuating levels of thyroxine? I once pretended I'd not seen a very familiar woman in our town once as I couln't...
Yeh me too!! Its a bit scarey realy. Sometimes I cant hold a thought in my head!! I was 3 years into my studies to become a Counsellor, only had 2 more to do...
hi lesley, thanks for your postings, it's all fascinating reading. Just a couple of questions if you don't mind - if your thyroid cells didn't take up iodine,...
I saw my oncologist today but unfortunately didn't get the chance to ask about % uptake, Craig. Got the impression he didn't have time to sit and answer...
Hi Louise, ... I've had three different endocrine surgeons along my journey. They each insisted on seeing me every six months or so until 2-3 years after...
Hi, Been out all day and just got back to a whole raft of questions! I've answered these just below each one and will catch up with the others as soon as I...
Hi Louise, I get my blood tested both suppressed and unsuppressed. Suppressed may not give a totally accurate picture but is a good guide - if Tg has been low...
I suspect that, currently, this is an unanswerable one, certainly as far as the medical profession goes! A lot of doctors tend to dismiss this "symptom"...
Hi Lesley, ... I appreciate this may be the practice in the USA for high risk patients or those who have not yet had a clean scan or undetectable Tg while...
Hi Louise I had my Tg levels done both while on thyroxine and then a couple of months later after having Thyrogen, it was undetectable both times. Fiona x ...
Hi all Well, I had my completion thyroidectomy 2 weeks ago and I finally feel well enough to sit at the computer for a while :-) All went OK, but I had to...
Hi Claire Good to hear from you. I had a similar experience with the calcium. Took suppliments for a few weeks after which my blood test was ok and came off. I...
Of course, there's no totally hard and fast rule because different doctors have different opinions and guidelines are just that; there are variations even for...
Hi Claire, Glad to hear it's over and you're back home. I hope you make a speedy recovery, take care of yourself! Lesley ... From: Claire O'Callaghan To:...
Good to hear everything went well and that you're feeling ok! Take it easy and listen to your body though. Karenx ... feel well enough to sit at the computer...
Hi Judith, I've not been hypo for ages, in fact have only been hypo once in 2005 when I had my RAI treatment! My thyroid levels were ok when I had them tested...
Hi Karen, How are your calcium levels? High calcium can wreak havoc with your concentration and memory and is only one of many possible causes. If you're still...
Hi Judith, my calcium levels have been normal according to the last couple of blood tests. It's almost a year since I was able to stop taking the Sandocal and...
Hi all! Had routine bloods done last week by my G.P and got a call to make an appointment concerning the results. I went today and was shocked to hear my TSH...
Hi all - in theory I responded to this yesterday but it seem to have got lost! I'm relieved to hear that many of you suffer from painful joints but as someone...
Hi Kazz, This happened to me once and I was furious to discover years later that my consultant wrote to my GP to say I was probably not taking my tablets...
