This a weird question, even for me!

I lost my thyroid almost 4 yrs ago and developed psoriatic arthritis shortly after the thyroidectomy and have been pretty much house bound because of the PSA that has left me overweight and full of cellulite (its horrible) the amount of cellulite I have way more than before thyroidectomy.I lost my thyroid almost 4 yrs ago and developed psoriatic arthritis shortly after the thyroidectomy and have been pretty much house bound because of the PSA that has left me overweight and full of cellulite (its horrible) the amount of cellulite I have way more than before thyroidectomy.

Where can you buy T3 without a prescription online? I am in the United States. I'm finding I'm doing better on the T3.

I had a thyroidectomy in 2017 after having Hashi's for 10 years because I was bouncing up and down. Doctor is not going to let me go on T3 by itself.I had a thyroidectomy in 2017 after having Hashi's for 10 years because I was bouncing up and down. Doctor is not going to let me go on T3 by itself.

BICHECTOMY DUE TO EDEMATOUS FACE

I am interested in this surgery because my edematous face no longer disappeared, in addition to the thyroidectomy problems, self-esteem goes down the drain due to the appearance transformation.I am interested in this surgery because my edematous face no longer disappeared, in addition to the thyroidectomy problems, self-esteem goes down the drain due to the appearance transformation.

Trying to get my T4 and TSH levels in better range

I had a total thyroidectomy 5 years ago and the results are always similar. Do I cut down my intake very slightly? I'm on 125mg per day. Any advice would be appreciated.I had a total thyroidectomy 5 years ago and the results are always similar. Do I cut down my intake very slightly? I'm on 125mg per day.

Medication after thyroidectomy

So I had a total thyroidectomy on Saturday morning. Everything went perfectly, my 4 parathyroid glands and vocal cords are preserved (yay!) and I’m beginning my long journey back to the UK tomorrow. The aftercare at the hospital was abysmal, I wasn’t even seen by an endo (or the surgeon!)So I had a total thyroidectomy on Saturday morning.
