Blood test results after reducing dosage of Levothyroxine.

6 was post partial thyroidectomy
Hi folks, 2 1/2 yrs ago my husband went for a regular mot at drs where they told him he had a goitre. He was fit and very active at the time. The doctor arranged for him to be given a radioactive iodine pill and that was it. Since receiving that pill he has gone downhill dramatically. He has no energy

Is a persistent cough of a week a worry?
I had a partial thyroidectomy in October. This was found to be cancerous. I had the remaining half removed in December which was clear. I have had a cough for a week which is very annoying, a cross between tickly and hourse and it promote funny looks as once it starts I cannot stop. Is it anything to

My T3 has arrived! How to take it?
Hi all, Well based on a lot of great advice on here, I bit the bullet and ordered 25mcg of Cynomel tablets from Mexico (the reputable one). My T3 levels were either rock bottom or borderline low since my partial thyroidectomy 18 months ago. I got sick of getting nowhere with my docs who refused to even

DESPERATE FOR SOME ADVICE AND GUIDANCE
Hi I apologise in advance for the length of this post! In 2003 I hade a human heart valve replacement for a congenital valve defect (not sure if this is relevant). In 2012 I had a 3 1/2 gland parathyroidectomy and an unscheduled partial thyroidectomy. The surgeon came to see me the morning after my operation

Bit of an update not been on much

He started off saying he thinks a lot of my pain is fibromyalgia and sleep apnea until he had a look at my blood test results, really high inflammatory markers and changed his mind about that assumption. I aslo told him that

Recovering from cardiac ablation.
Had ablation in mid Jan 2014, recovering well, pulse in sinus rhythm most of the time, only seems to become arrhythmic when i have stomach cramps and diarrhoea. Am on Amiodrone 200mg daily (since ablation), Bisopropal 5mg and Warfarin 7mg, any advice?, anyone else experiencing the same?

Large cyst on Thyroid, is Ethanol injection an option?
Hi all, i have a large thyroid cyst on the right side of my thyroid (6x4cm) that has steadily grown over the last 10 years or so, I've had several FNA and they've all come back benign, but I want the lump to be gone. My endocrinologist suggested partial thyroidectomy to remove the right side. Only

WHO WILL HAVE MADE THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS - ENDOCRINOLOGISTS OR RADIOLOGIST?
Meet with Surgeon tomorrow for results of the partial thyroidectomy I had 2 weeks ago. At a pre diagnosis meeting 5 Endocrinologists believed the nodule to be benign, the radiologist had concerns. Cells sampled could not be identified one way or the other. Interesting to see who is correct. One

Is it possible for blood test results to come back normal if you have Hypothyriodism??
I had a partial thyroidectomy approx. 8 years ago due to a non-malignant tumour. At the time my consultant said that at some part of my life I will need some sort of medication. I have been tested in the past for Hypothyriodism as I showed a few symptoms and all blood tests came back normal so had no
