Light brown pigmentation under jawline only, hypothyroidism issue or something else?

I have had this light brown pigmentation under just my jawline that I developed after having a thyroidectomy in 2016. I had a hysterectomy 17 years earlier and did not have this light brown pigmentation could this be from the thyroidectomy? Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

Total Thyroidectomy advice/questions

My main questions would be: How easy is it to regulate thyroid levels after a thyroidectomy? Is it worth not removing it and seeing how it progresses? Do you actually never feel the same after it? What helped anyone with recovery? Any other helpful advice? Thank you for reading and your time!

Thyroid levels and heart failure

I had a thyroidectomy 20 years ago and have taken Erfa thyroid and T3 for 19 years. My T4 and T 3 levels are within range but TSH is very low and always has been. It was only 4.5 when I had my thyroidectomy with a shrunken very diseased thyroid gland.

Thyroidectomy - Any Happy Stories?

Having a total thyroidectomy soon, and it seems like the only thing I find online for life after the surgery are horror stories. Does anyone have anything close to a normal life after a total thyroidectomy or should I only prepare for despair?

Total Thyroidectomy last week

Hi, I had a total thyroidectomy last week. I had multi-nodule goitre. Completely normal thyroid levels, although @radd had pointed out that some were low in the percentage scale. At one point one of my antibody panels was off but then completely normal on the next test.

Waves of tiredness

I think I probably felt a bit like this before my thyroidectomy but it hits me worse now. Does anyone else suffer from this?

Help understanding post Thyroidectomy numbers

Hi, Almost a month out of thyroidectomy. Do not have pathology back - both surgeon and endocrinologist are perplexed and frustrated, don't know if it is a staffing issue due to Covid or if I should be concerned by that. But I will hear tomorrow if it is now in (Endocrinologist).

levothyroxine and Angina

I had a Thyroidectomy on March 29 of this year. Since taking levothyroxine (about 3 weeks after starting it) I've developed SEVERE Angina. I am going to my doctor on wed. Previously, I went to my cardiologist who found nothing wrong (not suspecting the medication).

Thyroid Medication Generating High Glucose Blood Levels

Before my thyroidectomy I had no issue with cholesterol or blood glucose levels. After my total thyroidectomy I was started on Synthroid. Immediately my Blood Glucose level increased and I once was considered pre-diabetic. The only thing the doctor said was “that happens with some folks.”
