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).

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.

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?

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.

Struggling post thyroidectomy - is is possible for your body to reject thyroid medication?
Hello everyone, This will be a somewhat lengthy post, so I apologize in advance, I am just desperately in search of anyone who may have/had similar struggles. I had my thyroid removed May 2021 due to papillary thyroid cancer. I was 32 at the time and overall pretty healthy. My TSH was always normal

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?

Insomnia
I had a complete
thyroidectomy
due to cancer in 2016. All has been going well. Battled through to get medication at good level, and regularly checked. Am able to exercise and lead a normal life. Over the last year or so I’ve been struggling with insomnia.

Five year check up after thyroidectomy
Hi, what’s the usual timespan between check ups after having thyroid removed ( and lymph nodes) due to papillary cancer? It’s coming up to 5 years this year. What will it entail if so?

Hypothyroid with adrenaline surges
Hi All, I have a history of total
thyroidectomy
(2006) and was on T4 till 2016 and made the transition to T3-only in 2017. While getting on T3-only, I have not been able to take my optimal dosage (75-100 mcg) due to adrenaline surges / anxiety feelings.

Thyroid levels and heart failure
I had a
thyroidectomy
20 years ago and have taken Erfa thyroid and T3 for 19 years. My T4 and T 3 levels are within range but TSH is very low and always has been. It was only 4.5 when I had my
thyroidectomy
with a shrunken very diseased thyroid gland.

FT3 may be better than FT4 in setting therapy levels.
The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether free thyroxine (FT4) or free triiodothyronine (FT3) indicates better for adjusting the dose in athyreotic patients on LT4 monotherapy after total
thyroidectomy
.
