constipation after thyroidectomy
hi all, I haven’t been on in a while but wanted to know if anyone else has had a problem with constipation after total
thyroidectomy
? It’s been over a year since my op and it’s not got any better. I’ve contacted my doctor and they’re going to see me on Tuesday but wanted to see if this is common…

Thyroidectomy
Hi I am due to have my thyroid removed as I have a multi nodular goitre. I do not have any issues with my thyroid function so am just wondering whether living with thyroxine is as simple as just taking a tablet , as my surgeon says?

Life following total thyroidectomy - what have you learned?
Last year I had a total
thyroidectomy
and many lymph nodes removed from my neck. In January this year I completed the final stage of radiotherapy and am now trying to piece my life back together.

Hi everyone ❤️ I'm trying to understand why I've not recovered since my full
thyroidectomy
in 2019, I was like many of us thrust on T4 🙄 after finding out it contains lactose (lactose intolerant and have colitis) I got on lactose free T4 but still had the same problem, (mannitol) i got on T3 but still

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).

Horrendous fatigue, even though joints ok
I had a total
thyroidectomy
17 years ago, so more blood tests this week. I am on Methotrexate and have been for about 12 years.

Thyroidectomy
Hi there, I would really appreciate some advice from anyone that has had Graves disease/hyperthyroidism and had a total
Thyroidectomy
. I tried RAI back in Sept 2021 but it was unsuccessful and then caused TED.

Post surgery hypothyroid help
Hi all, I messaged a while ago about my experiences after a partial
thyroidectomy
for a thyroid cyst and I’d really appreciate some advice and opinions again. My surgery was almost two years ago, in July 2022, and I didn’t get much support afterwards.

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They are out of date as they are from December 2022 but they are the tests I was given when my hypothyroid symptoms started getting bad after my partial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.

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.
