So very grateful for Thyroid UK
I just have to express my gratitude to this forum and the admins who give of their time to help us who are or have been floundering with NHS input (or lack of input+even dismissiveness of our thyroid journey) with regard to our thyroid and other connected issues. My son will be 48 this year and that’

thy3f thyroid nodules on either side - doctors recommend total thyroidectomy
hi there I was recently diagnosed with 2 thy3f nodules on either side of my thyroid. Thy3f is an indeterminate result (25%malignancy 75% benign). I have no symptoms recently had a baby, breastfeeding, busy mom of 3 on no medication. Has anyone elected watch and wait tactic instead of thyroidectomy?

Pub med article challenging traditional TSH-based approach
Hope the web address works - interesting! [i]In a study evaluating tissue function tests before total thyroidectomy and at 1 year postoperatively when using LT4, it was found that peripheral tissue function tests indicated mild hyperthyroidism at TSH <0.03 mU/L and mild hypothyroidism at TSH 0.3

Endo no longer wants to see me.
My recent blood tests show my tsh is 0.54 (0.35 - 4.94 ulU/ml) and my t4 is 14.5 (9.0 - 19.0 pmol/ml). I am on 75 mcg euthyrox. I had a scan on Friday and now have residual thyroid tissue on both the left and right side, 6 months ago I only had thyroid tissue on the left side. Total thyroidectomy was

Thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter
I underwent a full thyroidectomy due to several big nodules. I have never been told whether it was due to Hashimoto or Graves… Is there any way to know at all?

Total thyroidectomy - anyone have a positive story ?
Hey everyone - I’m very nervous about having a total thyroidectomy in mid February. I have seen so many horror stories. Do any of you have an experience that didn’t turn sour ? Some have said they have levithyroxine issues … I’m not sure if this is the right decision but my heart rhythm is being seriously

To Thyroidectomy or Not to Thyroidectomy
Hi there! Hoping for some guidance, advice and possibly real life results from some members. I was diagnosed with Graves' Disease this time last year. I had every possible symptom you can imagine. I started on Methimazole almost immediately. My numbers have gotten better but are still not controlled.

TSH STILL 00.1 AFTER HALVING T3 DOSE TO CONCIEVE AND REPRODUCTIVE ENDOCRINOLOGIST RECOMMENDATIONS IN LONDON OR MANCHESTER PLEASE
Hi all HMY! I have been on T3 for about 8 years very successfully and VERY happy on 20mg daily T3 and 150mcg thyroxine. I felt great. Whichever endo I see private or nhs has told me despite feeling well that I am over medicated as my TSH is 0.01 and I need to reduce my T3. I have always refused
