- Dr Renée explains the causes of hyperthyroidism and the treatments. This can often lead to hypothyroidism or complete loss of thyroid tissue which then needs Thyroid replacement therapy.She touches again on the controversial T4/T3 combination therapy. Below are the various groups, petitions and NHS consultation that she mentions.
Thyroid UK offer a wealth of information on all of the topics covered in this video and other Thyroid disorders. They can be found at:
www.thyroiduk.org.uk/
There is a petition demanding that T3 is not withdrawn from the many patients in the UK that currently use it. You can sign the petition here:

I’m taking methimazole, and have reduced gluten from my diet to help with Graves Disease. I think one of my first symptoms was insomnia, and menstrual issues (a cycle every 18 days), panic attacks and mood issues, weight loss. I’m hoping this gets better
Thank you for taking the time to talk about Grave's Disease.
I wish you were my GP. You are the perfect doctor to see. You are clear, understanding and caring. I am due my blood test in a week. It's either thyroid or menopause.
Thank you mine was hyper at first, had radiation, which sent me all over the shop, its been 2 yrs now and im not balanced at all, and feel just as bad as when I was hyper which you talked about, I feel im on a sea saw, I had to fight to have my T 4 taken as well, which was out, I believe you cannot go by your TSH proven that, but they want do my T3 I believe doctors are keeping patience sick, and I don't feel there is a lot of understanding.. and I don't believe Doctors are listen..
Thanks Dr Renee, I had graves DX after pregnancy and years later had a TT and currently fighting for my on going prescription of T3. I can't function without it. I've signed the links. Thank you so much for your support
hln1969 Hiya. Thanks for those lovely comments. It's a fight for us all. I have just published this blog in the biggest GP magazine Pulse. Look at some of the comments from doctors 😩. We will win this fight, I'm sure. You could write to your CCG. I have and I am seeing my MP next week. Good
Luck and thanks for watching!

Dr Renee, yes I've seen your article in a couple of fb groups and we are eagerly sharing it. Unfortunately, once we as patients rate your article, it can only be read by a professional who's signed up. I'll write to the CCG etc. I've got a feeling I'm going to be refused T3 after 3 months supply so will have to either buy myself again or ask for a private prescription but I'm not giving up! Thanks again, we can do this...
Oh and I reported one of the comments from a dr on your article as I believe he should have used clinical evidence and patient reviews to back up his claims....
hln1969 Yes instead of spending his time looking me up on the GMC register and trying to find critical comment! I am going to reply but I have a policy of waiting until calm! 😉
Someone mentioned reversing it with L Carnitine, an amino acid.
Very interesting google on that, I'm astounded that there is info on it...
I take it and it really helps me! I also take “thyroid calm” by Herb Pharm. The Carnitine works fast, too. If I feel my thyroid ramping up and take it within 45 minutes I feel much better. I’ve started taking it at night and the Thyroid Calm 1-3x/day depending on how I feel. So far so good!🙌🏼
My girlfriend has this issue. I'm trying to understand what more I can do than the daily dosage reminders.
Thanks for the information.
Yoko Brian What a nice boyfriend. Hope it helps.
Excellent presentation.. How does it affect your Gynecological system?. I have Graves and postmenopausal. Can breakthrough bleeding happen with Graves?
Thank you , my pregnant friend hv T4 of 11.5 & THS of 0.01 , her mother diagnosed with hyperthyrodism years ago and she is hypo after surgery. the doctor told she is ok. I Need help

Hi Doctor ..what is the treatment for graves ? Is there any specific medications for graves ? And can you please tell me how to get rid of exaphthalmos of the eyes because of graves...eyes are bulging kindly help me
Excellent video!
drwanderlust Thank you so much.
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism early stage since last month. By now I have been taking for 1 month and a half of Phyrotheurocil PTU and beta blockers. I don't yet have goiter and it can't be seen the reason I'm confuse about the disease. I have been experiencing palpitations and atrial fibrosis, joint pains, muscle cramps, hands trembling, headache and underweight severe weight loss. In my lab test it was found that my FT4 is high and my TSH is high. And in my observations, I am experiencing symptoms of hypo and at the same time hyperthyroidism that's why I'm confuse literally.
I also have hyperthyroidism but at times i feel like I have hypothyroidism also
February 2024 ~ Late to the table here, and, also from Southern California; but was very curious what happened with the petition about not withdrawing T3 as a remedy/medication for treatment of thyroid problems?!? Curious too - why it was to be withdrawn in the first place? I am new to hyperthyroidism - believe I initially developed it in late August 2023 when I caught a bad case of COVID. I was simply not feeling better & went down the Google rabbit hole. Finally, after much research, I went a clinic in November, had blood work done (indicating hyperthyroidism). A few delays occured but just got my blood work re-done recently to confirm that my thyroid levels had not returned to normal, but no improvement! Now my doctor has prescribed Methimazole a few days ago, but I haven't started taking it - worried about the side effects! Lastly, I am scheduled for an ultrasound on my thyroid in March - so we'll see. Glad I came across your UA-cam channel ... ❤️🩹
Thank you doc, watching fr alberta Canada
Dr. Renee...for the past 22 years of my life I was diagnosed with autoimmune hashimoto's. I went gluten-free for 9 years, limited dairy, and soy, and I was taken off thyroid medicine. I still had symptoms of being cold even now, dry skin, hair...etc fatigue...but was better with a gluten free diet. In july of this year, my daughter got covid, and I did too though I never tested positve..I was left with a constant low grade fever when my body temp had always been 97 degree, heart palpitations, and night sweats...after the covid virus went away. My TPO numbers where above 500. I was given a beta blocker and thats it...Every day since July I have had racing palpitations...and now my blood pressure has increased from being low most of the time...
What advice can you give me to help.
All thanks to DR IYAREMOSES on UA-cam. I have been sick from PCOS for several years now but I recovered after I contacted him thank you doc
The problem is so many of these symptoms are menopause
Hi Dr. Renee. hi. my wife have hypertyriod for the last 9 year. and now we are not sure if we should take the either radioactive iodline or surgury. but my point is either way. the person will became to hypo after treatment and will take medication for life. then what is the point to take these two treatment? we can stay on current hyper medication cabemizole for life too？
Excellent and very helpful video! Thank you for sharing.
ann jean ah it’s my pleasure, thank you!
Good afternoon, everybody! I have a question: Did actually someone get over Graves disease ,did someone really experienced get back healthy after methimazole treatment or get back healty again is just a Chymera? I read a lot of comments where people said after 2-3 years of regression they've experienced falling back to the initial ilness state. I've consulted several endocrinologists and they all speak about a rate of 40-50% of the Graves's patients that managed to completely get rid of the disease ,but I never heard a person to speak about a complete recovery and actually being a complete healthy individual with completely healthy tyroid after being GD patient. Is that possible? To get back healthy again.
I don't know where you li'm sorry that they are taking that stuff off the market. I was just diagnosed with grease disease and hyperthyroid. I'm starting my journey. I am going Thursday and Friday for my ultrasound would die. I hope everything will be OK for you. It's a terrible thing they're doing. It's a terrible thing they're doing I live in. United States North Carolina. I know it's an old video I hope everything. Worked out well for you
Doc my ft4 is 41.65... before my neck is not bulge. But when I'm taking medicine it becomes bigger but my feelings become better. I'm still taking medicine name methimazole 20mg.
i get itchy dry eyes sometimes i use dry eyedrops to moisture my eyes ive had double vision before only couple times though. im not sure why i feel like this i had blood test but waiting for my results. ive had extreme fatigue bladder problems heat intolerance sweating anxiety palpations sometimes i get soreness in thyroid i have low vitamin b12 deficiency i get irregular periods.
Hello! We are sorry to hear about your condition. Did you get your blood tests results? how was it?
We hope you are doing well. Good luck.
I had a virus in my thyroid that lasted about 2-3 months. The doctor first thought I had the onset of Grave's Disease until he did further tests. I went through a series of symptoms that came and went and eventually I became extremely exhausted to the point of sleeping constantly. I didn't have the energy or interest to do anything. This was also accompanied by random tremors in arms, legs and head. There was no treatment other than to let the virus run it's course.
alias dak interesting.
Alias person How are you doing? Did you do anything or used supplements to help your condition?
Alias person, do you know what kind of virus you contracted?
what was the virus??
I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism about 5 months ago. I have been on Carbimazole which I now take every other day as my blood results are normal but I am still very much symptomatic. I am on a waiting list in the Uk to see an endocrinologist. I don’t know what to do as I am still on the meds (lowest dose) and do not want to get to hypo since my blood work is normal. What do you suggest ?
Thanks doctor your video is helpful
Kunsoth kalyan Naik Pleasure.
very helpful information
Thanks Doctor, my three and a half year old daughter just had a blood test where it showed she has a high red blood cell count and high haemoglobin, l asked the hemotologist if the red blood cells were small but he said no there normal size, which was a relief because my wife is Thai and has suspected alpha thalassemia minor/trait. However my daughter's Thai grandmother and great grandmother have thyroid disease, my daughter sweats heavy when she exerts herself, meaning if she just runs round a little for a short while she sweats heavily around her head. She gave a second blood sample last week and we are going back to the hemotologist in May 2024, she's going to get a heart scan then, should l ask the hemotologist about a thyroid hormone test when we go back? Thank you

Hello. How are you feeling? What did you do at the end?
Let us know, we are happy to help you.
I have iodine induced hyperthyroidism from taking ioderal given to me from my nature doctor that was not monitored for 7 months. I am only taking a beta blocker. Its been 2 months and my T3 is finally normal and my T4 is coming down. TSH is still the same. How long does it take to fully heal? and is there anything I can do to help heal other than the meds. I have Lyme disease and have to protect my liver. Thank You

Hi Simone. There is medication that can be used. I do cover them in the VLOG.
I am a hyper on Carbimazole and propanolol and adding so much weight despite being keen on my diet and exercising.
What could be the reason of the weight gain?
Great video I've just been put on cabmirazole 20mg for an overactive thrioyd feeling really tired lately

Could you translate this video in Urdu or at least with sub titles. Thank you
Doctor currently am taking methimez 5 mg per day and my thyroid harmones are in normal.state since a year but the protruding of my eyes is not going back to normal state..I have spoken with my endocrinologist and asked him about the treatment for graves he is not telling anything about that.. kindly help me wat is the solution for this ?
pavithra raji Hi. The treatments are covered in the blog. I’m effect it is suppression of your own thyroid and then replacement hormone or if that fails, radio active iodine to destroy the thyroid enough to make you euthyroid/hypothyroid. I’m afraid their is no treatment to reverse the exophthalmos. It is therefore important to treat as early as possible.
Sad to say they will not offer you a solution only a lifetime offer of Med to keep them rich and enjoying their lavish lifestyles … Wake up people … There is hope it’s just not found in this wicked system run by the powers tht should not be …They know there is hope & a cure but they suppress the truth to keep ppl sick and dependent on meds … Thts right so said it To TaTa NZAMBI be all Kembo
Thank you for the video it is helpful to understand the mechanics of hyperthyroidism. I have been diagnosed with graves disease and my thyroid is very inflamed. I am currently on Carbimazole ( gone from 40mg once a day to now 5mg once a day. Is it possible to only treat with Carbimazole and eventually stop ? I have had a reaction recently but lowering the dose has alleviated the reaction. I am hoping that after a few months or a year I can stop taking Carbimazole altogether, is that a viable path to take?
La Bohemienne Hi. Glad you found the vlog helpful. The answer is that the carbimazole should be at the lowest dose to keep T4 abs T3 in normal range. Remission usually occurs 18-24 months after starting. At this point it may be possible to have a trial without any medication. If however you return to a hyperthyroid state it is likely that you will need some level of carbimazole for life. Hope that helps. Good luck,
Thank you for explaining. I will keep my fingers crossed. :)
My doctor prescribed me Methimazole and she gave me the option of staying w the medication and hoping that it went away. It can leave but come back... And it's an economical option compared to a surgery or Radioactive pill ($1,000-$5000)... but I asked about pregnancy and my doc said that if I stick to Methiazole it can hurt the fetus, so to prevent that she'll prescribe a pill called PTU to not hurt the bby. BUT ptu has toxic liver damage... so yeah.. there is nothing good out there. Lol but I'm ok with having Liver damage so that my bby could be safe and healthy
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and i am 11 weeks pregnant. I am scared. I am allergic to PTU
AL C. PTU?
@@DrRenee its propylthiouracil it is prescribed by my doctor but unfortunately i am allergic so i stopped taking that medicine.
AL C. That’s tricky because you really need to control your thyroid especially if pregnant. Your heart needs protection alongside your baby. Hopefully they have other solutions for you?
@@DrRenee i just had an appointment with my doctor today. She did not give me any medicine as replacement for PTU. She just said she will monitor my tsh and ft4.
@@DrRenee my tsh reads 0.06 only. Im afraid my baby might be affected with my condition.
Did you have Ted?

Doctor can you please tell me this ... My thyroid glan is enlarging so will it come back to normal shape after course of medication? I have hyperthyroidism.. Please answer me
Hi Rose. Its impossible for me to predict because it really does depend on what is causing the thyroid swelling but it could. Have you asked your treating doctor who will have all of your detail to hand?
Good luck. R
If I asked also the doctor use to say that I have hyperthyroidism.. Am so worried.. Thank you for the reply
So there’s no natural cure for hyperthyroidism?
Lovely Cocolicious I’m afraid not.
@@DrRenee what?? What about normal T3 and T4 connection to iodine and selenium?
The connection up the destruction of the soils in the world?
Keep researching. Ever wonder why just 40 years ago thyroid problems were extremely small and now common place?
It's as if my epiglottis can't work properly, I choke so easily it's not funny!!!

There is a 💯% cure to hypothyroidism and am permanently cure,with Dr iyaremoses on UA-cam remedy...
Sad to say this video only gives the same old adage … pharmakia .. no real solution just more medication .. this is not a solution. It’s a band aide .. I’m 30 years plus tired of the bandaid
Well I am sorry you are disappointed. However, there are some conditions when the body malfunctions that need pharmacology solutions. The risks of not doing so are dangerous sadly.
I was all intune and calm until I heard radioactive sperm..... lol, then my mind just went in too many directions to focus any further.
I rather die than kill off my thyroid.

What about treatig it naturally? I dont wanna have surgery to get another disease, HYPO thyroidism! I know people with it and theyre miserable plus its a known thing in my country that they never give you the dosage you feel good on.
And what happend with prescription of T3? Did they shut it down?
Hi. There is no natural treatment. If you have Graves disease for example the treatment needs to be quick to protect your heart against the excessive stimulation of thyroxine. It could be dangerous therefore to spend time looking for a natural treatment. And yes the aim of treatment if to render the patient hypothryoid but that is much safer in terms of life expectancy than being hyperthyroid. It isn't ideal and I have made my experiences of being treated open in this and other VLOG's.
@@DrRenee What do you suggest I do? I was probably born with Graves bc I've had symptoms since birth and they found it when I was 35. Theyre treating it with thacapzol for the second time now but they're going to talk to me about surgery on the 25'th. I'm so scared and I'm in great back pain aswell. My lower back is very very painful. Dont know why.
Graves Disease isn’t a CAUSE it’s a symptom. This video is not helpful.
Perhaps you could explain your comment further and i will answer. This is an informative and accurate video as a summary of hyperthyroidism but happy to discuss any errors you feel you may have found. And if you would allow me to kick off; Graves disease is most definitely a CAUSE of . hyperthyroidism. It is the underlying autoimmune process that is Graves disease which causes the thyroid to produce excess hormones which in turn causes symptoms. A name (which is what Graves is) for a disease process, can't be a symptom. A symptom is (for example) feeling hot. And if you want further support for this, please check out the first cause here www.nhs.uk/conditions/overactive-thyroid-hyperthyroidism/causes/
This may help.
SYMPTOM:
evidence of disease or physical disturbance
broadly : something that indicates the presence of bodily disorder
CAUSE: a person or thing that gives rise to an action, phenomenon, or condition.
SIGN: an indication of bodily condition that can be directly perceived (as by auscultation) by an examining physician
