post Papillary Thyroid Cancer
had full
thyroidectomy
and neck dissection in May 2022 which removed 24 lymph nodes and 2 parathyroid glands as well. All good, apparently now cancer free. Was not able to have RAI as had apparently had thyroiditis (picked up when thyroid examined post op).

Thyroidectomy
A year ago I had total
thyroidectomy
and I obviously rely on Levothyroxine 125 mcg. Next Monday I'm due to have a gastroscopy and colonoscopy because of my out of range full blood count and blood in my stool.

thyroidectomy
back in July 2022 and I’ve been getting symptoms such as tiredness, aching, hair loss, loss of appetite , constant overheating and weight gain.

Does anyone have any information on T2 and if it is necessary if you've had a
thyroidectomy
? Many thanks

Very Scared and suffering with Graves Disease - don't know what to do next?
I appreciate nobody can tell me what to do but any wise words/own stories about Graves or experience of RAI/
thyroidectomy
and subsequent hypothyroid disease and Levothyroxine treatment very much appreciated. I have to think of some darn thing to say to endocrinologist before Tuesday.

Blood Test Results 4 Months On
Hi everyone, I posted a few months ago about the results of a thyroid blood test after I had a partial
thyroidectomy
back in July 2022. I’m currently on 25mcg of levothyroxine a day and had another blood test last month. I just wanted to see what your opinions are?

Possible hypothyroidism, No Thyroid and on 50mg Levo since Nov 22
I take liquid Vit D, B complex and Fish Oil plus bloodpressure meds (Felodopin 10mg) and sleep really well as given a CPAP machine after
thyroidectomy
. I take my levo in the morning and am worried that this is not the right drug for me.

Thyroid blood results
I had a total
thyroidectomy
in December last year due to a large goitre. No medication prescribed prior to the operation. Currently on 150 mg of Levo. Blood results after 4 weeks on medication TSH serum 0.05 T4 level 21. What does this mean. I had repeat blood done last week awaiting results.

Full Blood Count Test Results
They are out of date as they are from December 2022 but they are the tests I was given when my hypothyroid symptoms started getting bad after my partial
thyroidectomy
in July 2022. I know the results might have changed by now but I’m still feeling just as unwell as I did then.

Vitamin results at last
Quick recap I had
thyroidectomy
18 months following cancer (though no symptoms). One thing I've noticed is the NHS test I had in January gave my FT3 at 85% (4.05 on range 3.1-6.8 pmo/L) through range, whereas this latest test from 2 weeks ago shows me at 25.7% !! Any ideas for the big difference.

Post Partial Thyroidectomy Symptoms
I had a partial
thyroidectomy
back in July as I had a benign cyst on the left side and I’ve been feeling worse and worse as of late.

GP only testing TSH now - no longer T3/T4 - concerned!
I am on Thyroxine due to a partial
Thyroidectomy
years ago. Occasionally in the past the results show my dosage is too high or too low. Got bulgy eyes first thing, fast pulse, yet GP says TSH results OK - 0.72 If the Lab were testing T3 and T4 before there must have been a reason!

Hypo/Hyperthyroidism compared to Menopause symptoms
Having forgotten quite a few of the symptoms, I realise that having had a total
thyroidectomy
due to Hyperthyroidism, that there is very little difference between that and the menopause symptoms. anxiety, depression, tiredness, lack of sleep, weight gain - the list goes on.
