Problem with partial thyroidectomy
My 87 yr old mother in law had partial thyroidectomy 4 weeks ago for suspected cancer, she is still in hospital as she has lost her swallow and can only eat pureed food, & even then she sometimes chokes. She had NG tube fitted but went wrong and now refusing any sort of feed tube. She is also struggling

1st day of a new life
Hello all, Im Jan and I am a Brit living abroad and it is time to shed these pounds. I think most of the excess weight came from depression, even though I love living in another country and have embraced the life. The problem is always the guilt of leaving my parents behind and having a life over here

I know this forum is about anemia but I have a question about polycythemia?
Okay so back in April my red blood cell counts were high 5.31(3.70-5.10). Hemoglobin 15.6, hematocrit 46.9. Doctor initially was testing for vitamin D3 deficiency. Had no idea about the red blood cell count he said everything was fine except the D3 deficiency. Now recently I just had a cardiac ablation

Blood results.....very confused !
So docs finally agreed to test my T4, results were confusing over the phone so went in this evening to get a print out. The instructions clearly say 'test T4 patient symptomatic' but they only tested TSH at the lab ! The nurse taking my blood even took a highlighter to the instruction! I'm fuming! Doc

After a battle GP agrees to test T4!
So after my previous posts about increasing TSH after my partial thyroidectomy I have become a nuisance at my GPs until they agree to further tests. He has agreed to test T4 but that's it, will this be enough to see a picture of what's happening to me alongside my increasing (but still within Range)

Feeling Helpless
The cardiologist put me on
Cartia
XT 180mg and Flecanide 100mg a day. After 6 mo, I went for a check up where he told me I would need an ablation or be on meds for the rest of my life.

Hungry for info.
Hi everyone, I'm a Newby as I've only just discovered this site. I'm a 54 year old female but had a partial thyroidectomy when I was 7 years old. They started me off after that on a tiny dose of T4 and over the years I've gradually increased to 200 mcg levothyroxine daily. All has been OK until I hit

Had my First and hopefully only Cardiac Ablation
Everything went well and I hurt everywhere on my body. Was totally out for about 5 hours and they went in thru my groin area with two catheters either side of my groin to facilitate the ablation plus one for urinary, ouch. Had to spend the night in hospital. Not as traumatic as I was expecting. In

Just Diagnosed with breast cancer
Hello dear women who struggle with breast cancer. I am new to all of this as I was just diagnosed two days ago with Breast Cancer after biopsy. I'm not sure what stage I'm at, the doctor thinks stage zero. I go in Tuesday to talk about options for a full or partial mastectomy. Any advice on nutrition

Partial thyroidectomy
Hi, I'm new to the group and would really appreciate some advice. I had an MRI scan which revealed an incidental finding - a thyroid mass. I've had an ultrasound and an FNA. The FNA showed no trace of malignancy but as there are malignant features on the ultrasound I am now scheduled to have the right
