Newly diagnosed with CLL and wondering what tests to request.
Hi all, I didn't feel well after partial
thyroidectomy
. Had some teats and was told I have cll. Was told just to watch and be retested every three months. I was tested for CBC and differential. From reading some of these posts, it looks like there is a genetic test available.

Updated Thyroid levels and new Vitamin readings
As a quick recap, had a full
Thyroidectomy
last September due to Papillary Cancer. I'm not having Radioactive Iodine as I already have poor saliva and it might make it worse.

Hi I had a

Has anyone with spondylitis or psoriatic arthritis had adhesive capsulitis?
Thyroid issues may be relevant in my case since I had a
thyroidectomy
some years ago and take artificial hormones. These though are usually within the correct limits when I've had my blood tested. If anyone knows anything about adhesive capsulitis, please reply.

I had a total
thyroidectomy
they removed my cancer and I am ok. We have made it past our worst days. So if your struggling know that it will get better and if it sucks for a bit more know that it will pass. We will handle what comes our way and we will have people here to help us get thru.

Supplement advice please for a newbie
I had a total
thyroidectomy
late last year for thyroid cancer followed by RAI in March. I got through those treatments and became increasingly fatigued and have felt really awful. Following blood tests taken in May at the hospital, I was prescribed 800 IU cholecalciferol for vitamin D.

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).

Return to Patient-Centred Treatment and not before time!
Further, in
thyroidectomy
patients the amount of supplementation needed to achieve normalization of T3 levels is such that it leads to suppression of TSH,10,11 which may explain why some patients lack complete resolution with normal TSH and feel resolution of symptoms with suppressed TSH levels.

my List of References recommending GP's keep TSH lower in range : feel free to add any others you have in replies.
The exception to this is after

Thyroid Blood Results
On 25th May 2022 I had a full
thyroidectomy
as the enlarged goitre had begun to cause problems. Histology shows nothing sinister - the mass removed was ten times the size of a normal thyroid. I am now on Levothyroxine 100mgs. My question - how long before my body rebalances.

Are my doctor and Endo correct that my TSH being suppressed is not good and I should lower my levothyroxine!!
I had a total
thyroidectomy
20 years ago, following a year of trying to get my thyroid balanced, following a mistake of the NHS where I'd gone into A&E for something else, when they noticed my groitre,, and took blood test suspecting Graves for overactive thyroid.

There are some enlightened GPs re T3!
I was concerned as I had wasted 3 years of my life being told by another GP that my thyroid levels were fine (
thyroidectomy
10 years previously) and that I was depressed. Found my results on Patients Portal and it said TSH Abnormal see doctor. So I feared that they would try to reduce my T3.

Advice on recent blood test
I had a partial
thyroidectomy
back in the mid 1990s (currently 59) for Graves disease and was absolutely fine on T4 only until about 5 years ago (suspect menopause) when everything went pear shaped. In 2019, a scan showed there was no thyroid tissue - presume the antibodies finished it off?

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?
