Hi, 73 17 years ET, on HU 8months now just over 600. 1 x 500mg daily extra 500mg every second day. 1 x asprin daily. Lots of meds for diabetes type 2. Just had Ultrasound on thyroid. Have total 13 nodules on thyroid, some quite large. Now having Nuclear ultrasound not until 6th October. Really worried about this.
Suffer fatigue, dry skin and hair thinning as well. Also sun sensitivity.

Hoping you'll get great benefits from that treatment!
Today's prescription: Ice cream sundae.

Ugh, it's always something, isn't it? I had a thyroid biopsy a few years ago. The biopsy team said these things are fairly common and almost always benign, so hope this will just be a small blip for you, too. My GP tests thyroid function every so often, and it's normal.
