Thyroglobulin antibodies
Does anyone know what causes thyroglobulin antibodies to increase after a
thyroidectomy
? Mine have been fluctuating since my TT 5 years ago. They have just increased from 743 ku/l to 930 ku/l.

Thyroid supplements?
I have had a total
thyroidectomy
and am wondering if it is worth taking an all-in-one thyroid supplement. What do you think? Please advise.😊

Voice weak after thyroidectomy
I had a
thyroidectomy
5 years ago and after surgery had a check on vocal cords which were fine. However my voice has recently become a bit weaker and I constantly have to cough to clear my throat. Is this normal so long after surgery?

Hypo with Hyper results!
Had a
thyroidectomy
in 2022. Just had a blood test with TSH - 0.2 miU/l FT4 24.5 pmol/L On levothyroxine 125mg for 4 days and 100mg for 3 days. Any idea why this looks like hyperthyroid? Thanks for any advice.

Partial thyroidectomy
I've been advised to have a partial
thyroidectomy
by an ENT consultant following a Thy3 test result. It's going to happen soon, I am being fast tracked for surgery, pre-op in 2 days. Found the lump in March but it may have been there for some time. Its about 4cm.

Thyroidectomy
So just wondered if anybody who has had experience of
thyroidectomy
with any issues or complications could give me any advice about it and how the operation/recovery was and aftercare and conversion issues and how the NHS has treated them.
