Hair loss
hi, I had a complete
thyroidectomy
in August of this year. I’ve been on levothyroxine and Synthroid. Today I began taking Armour. I have been losing a massive amount of hair. Has anyone shared this side effect and have suggestions for regrowth? Please tell me this awful side effect doesn’t last!

just started on levothyroxine
I had a partial
thyroidectomy
in September so I’m not sure if it’s just very early days and I was hoping to feel an improvement faster! Any advice? Thank you! Amy

life after thyroidectomy
Does anyone experience anxiety and jittery feeling after full
thyroidectomy
? I got my thyroid removed 8 months ago in April 2022, and on Levothyroxine (112mg) for the rest of my life. I had severe anxiety and panic attacks before surgery due to hyperthyroidism.

DIO2 polymorphism and reduced conversion of T4 to T3
it shows the reduction in blood levels of T3 in people who have had a
thyroidectomy
and are on T4. The reduction Is greater for homozygous polymorphisms than heterozygous. https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/102/5/1623/2966904

4/30 FLARE better but shoulder pain continues. Need feedback, please!
On 5/15/23, HS-CRP was down to 21.1, nowhere near 7.3 before my
thyroidectomy
/ parathyroidectomy but I felt BETTER. Today is Day 27 of 12.5, I am still not symptom free: pain in shoulders, and intense fatigue. I am careful to not overdue physically and mentally.

I had a
thyroidectomy
18 months ago, with no RAI due to ongoing saliva issues. Up until about 3 weeks ago I was doing well on 137.5mg Levo, good energy levels and feeling pretty good. Since then I've been lacking energy, feeling a bit down. and generally out of sorts.

How relevant is TSH when you have had a total thyroidectomy?
Hello everyone, Is TSH relevant at all if you have no thyroid?For someone on levothyroxine only are T4 and T3 the measure of optimum dose.Thankyou.

High PTH through t3?
I had suffered very much years after a
thyroidectomy
in 1996 and was helped by a private doctor in 2017 who titrated me up to Novothyral (125 mcg)and Thybon 20 mcg). My blood pressure, pulse, temperature etc were always normal, rather low, and I slowly had a Life again.

Blood Test results, advice please. Hyperthyroid, Graves.
I had been anticipating a discussion about RAI or a
Thyroidectomy
before the blood tests as I will have been taking Carbimazole for 18 months. RAI concerns me greatly as I have had laser treatment twice for holes in the retina in one eye, fortunately caught before it detached completely.

Weaning off Methimazole
I’ve been through five different endocrinologist and the last one I had is starting to push me to get off my meds to see if I can establish remission or get a
thyroidectomy
. She once said it was so I wouldn’t have to do annual thyroid ultrasounds and see her so often.
