RFA on 130mm goitre?
He's recommending a complete
thyroidectomy
. 😩 He also mentioned Thyroid artery goiter embolization (TAE) and said that's the breakthrough treatment that could work and save my thyroid but it's going to be at least 2 years before it comes to the UK. 😭😭😭 Anyone here got any advice?

Just got my updated blood results
Hi all, I have had a partial
thyroidectomy
, this is my results. My ferretin is severely low and I wanted to ask does low iron <15 cause severe fatigue and tiredness and joint pain as that's what I've been feeling. Not sure if I should take thyroid medication as my iron dropped after the surgery.

But good news on the parathyroid issue, looks like another neck op, if it's safe enough for her to rummage around after full
thyroidectomy
👍

Avoiding dose reduction, advice appreciated!
Hi, I had a full
thyroidectomy
in 2000 and although it took a little while to stabilise / find the correct dose of levothyroxine for me, I’ve now been taking 125mcg for many years and feel pretty good despite a few issues with my white blood cells which is another matter… I have an annual blood test

I had an under active thyroid, been taking 50mg levothyroxine for 1 yr, 3 blood tests since all show perfect levels but I can’t lose weight.
Even though my blood tests show that I’m on the correct dose of Levothyroxine since having a hemi-
thyroidectomy
, I cannot shift the pounds, even though I am eating very few calories every day.

Please help me understand T3 etc as a medication
In May this year I had
thyroidectomy
and given thyroxine: all was well until the heat intolerance started again mid June and this week my face is breaking out in small blisters. Is this connected to thyroxine dosage / brand ?

Total thyroidectomy remnants/ recurrence
I had a total
thyroidectomy
last year for graves disease. Throat scan 2 weeks ago shows recurrence or remnants of over 4 cms on my left lobe. My tsh is 0.6 uIU/ml and t4 is 11.7 pmol/L and I am taking 25mg euthroyx. Would this be classed as a near total
thyroidectomy
or sub total
thyroidectomy
?

muscle pain after thyroidectomy
hi all, I had a full
thyroidectomy
on the 17th of April this year. The recovery has been a bit slower than I anticipated. I’m experiencing muscle stiffness. It can happen at any time all across my shoulders, neck, higher back, both arms and even my legs randomly.

Interpret blood test results
I had a
thyroidectomy
in 2018, and do keep a close eye on dosage of Levo and blood test results. Having just done tests, I think I should probably lower the dose slightly, and would be interested to see if any of you knowledgeable people out there are in agreement.... or not!

Thyroid tests
I have Graves disease since 2007 and had
thyroidectomy
in 2019. I have felt fine for the last 4 years on levothyroxine (75mcg Monday to Saturday, 50mcg on Sundays). I've recently developed digestive issues with some indigestion and morning diarrhea or loose stool at best.

Advice urgently needed: Endo reducing levo dose yet again based on flawed blood results.
Hello everyone I had
thyroidectomy
1992 and since then been on levothyroxine. Roughly, 6 weeks ago levo dose was reduced by GP from 75/50mcg alternate days, to 50mcg daily due to T4 being over range.

Thyroid Function Results
Serum free T4 level Result 15.9 pmol/L Serum TSH level Result 0.62 mU/L Serum vitamin B12 Result 253 ng/L I apparently had thyroiditis as well as the cancer but that was only identified post
thyroidectomy
. Consequently I was unable to have RAL.

Looking for T3 online again
Hi all, I’m having to have the T3/T4 battle with Endo’s again after 13 years on T3 only (post cancer
thyroidectomy
). 3rd time it’s been withdrawn by GP - 4th time I will have to go through the whole, sorry thyroid hormone replacement saga with an Endo.

buying thyroxine
I’ve had a
thyroidectomy
and get prescribed a couple month worth at a time but I do not trust that it will always be readily available here in Germany and would like a supply.

The good doctor
I told him that I’d quite like to have my own brain returned as it had been ‘rewired’ by psychotropic drugs several times since my total
thyroidectomy
for various complaints which, prior to the TT, I’d never had. He said that he would wean me off Gabapentin very slowly and wrote out a schedule.
