Experiences with

Thyroidectomy

Hi everyone I had a total thyroidectomy in July and have had nothing but trouble since. I keep getting swelling in my neck and have had numerous scans, Ct scans etc. My Gp now thinks I could have Laryngeal nerve damage and has asked for blood test to be done.

I really don't know what to do I have had one thyroid removed (mistaking)the thyroid that has the toxic nodule was left hence now they want to remove that due to undetectable tsh. I really don't know what to do. I feel like I'm jumping from the devil to the deep blue sea. Jumping from hyper to hypo.

Can you please tell me the best vitimins to take after aThyroidectomy for Thyroid cancer.

Had 2x eyelid surgeries and orbital decompression surgery and then I had a thyroidectomy after 3 opinions. Took 125mg Levo but felt unwell so tried ndt which made me feel better in myself but I still had painful muscles, no energy and palpitations. I've now gone back to 100mg Levo and 10mg t3.

Any one who's had a total thyroidectomy had negative experiences particularly with extreme fatigue, pain, neuropathy and autonomic dysfunction such as POTs?

I asked the GP for blood tests in December following tests in September after Thyroidectomy in August. the GP only requested TSH so I managed to get the hospital endocrinology to do tests but I don't seem to be able to get a follow up appointment.

It is now 20 years since my thyroidectomy and loss of one or more parathyroids, requiring me to take meds for my lack of parathyroids. I would like to know what other people take? I am on Alfacalcidol, VitD3, Magnesium for my bones.

I had a total thyroidectomy 5 weeks ago today and was wondering if anyone else has had the same operation that I can ask questions about.

I had a total thyroidectomy 25 years ago. I currently take 100mcg thyroxine a day, with no supplements. I decided to check my levels with Medichecks this week and followed the patient to patient tip about taking my thyroxine prior to testing. My test was done at 09:05 am.

Hi, I have had Long Covid for four years now. Tests showed nothing they though of as 'Covid' at the time, but they spotted a Thyroid tumour. After four years of mucking about, this week I had the thyroid removed , it had been done in stages - another story. For four years I had been assured that my LC

Thank you for all your input earlier on enlarged thyroid gland and the possibility of having thyroidectomy. Now it’s a wait and see if the pathology report will come back benign or not, praying 🙏 for a clear diagnosis. You guys have a wonderful week and God Bless everyone!

I'm really scared completion thyroidectomy will make it worse.

I had TT in 2014 for TPC. At first I was taking 150mcgms daily but now Ive been taking 125mcgms daily for awhile now. Everything has been fine until around three months ago.

Review 3 months- Consultant will likely recommended thyroidectomy if increasing TRAb or things aren't stabilising.

Hi all I had my thyroid removed at the beginning of May due to it's size and the fact it was growing behind my oesophagus and down into my chest area. This has resulted in a paralysed vocal cord with all the issues that creates, but I wondered if any of you good people could explain my results to me
