I understand cancer and breathing issues are reasons for a
thyroidectomy
. - Are comprehensive tests done to decide if it is safe to [u]leave the whole thyroid intact[/u], - How do they test if both sides are producing thyroid hormones? 2.

Thyroid test results with a total thyroidectomy
Can anyone answer my question - I had overactive thyroid in my teens then in 20’s had radioactive iodine followed by a ‘partial’
thyroidectomy
about 2 years later. I had cause to need an ultrasound on my throat about 30 years ago and this showed I had no thyroid tissue there at all.

T3/T4 question
For the last month, I've been feeling better than I have since my
thyroidectomy
right after taking the higher dose of T3 myself. When I ran out of my prescription I refilled the 200 levo dose and I assume there would be not much change. I actually feel worse now after increasing the T4 dose.

On NDT and my TSH in a range
I had total
thyroidectomy
in 2017. I didn't feel well on Levo that's why I switched to NDT.

Thyroidectomy - Any Happy Stories?
Having a total
thyroidectomy
soon, and it seems like the only thing I find online for life after the surgery are horror stories. Does anyone have anything close to a normal life after a total
thyroidectomy
or should I only prepare for despair?

Elevated TSH despite its suppression
I had a complete
thyroidectomy
and underwent radio iodine therapy. I take a high dose of T4 and normally my TSH level is 0.5 or below. In two recent blood tests my TSH was around 6mcUI/ml, just above and below, and T4 was at the upper limit (1.7ng/dl on last test, lab's max is 1.72).

Any Strategies For Controlling Blood Sugar While Taking Thyroid Meds
Before having my
thyroidectomy
my glucose levels never rose above 82. Controlling by morning blood sugars have been especially difficult, maybe due to taking the meds at 6am while the "Dawn Effect" is still present.

Thyroidectomy or Radioactive Iodine Treatment?
I am hyperthyroid through a multi nodular goitre. I was on Carbimazole for 18 mths and taken off to see whether it had sorted itself out. On my fourth quarter check after stopping my TSH has fallen and T3&T4 both gone over the top of the range, GP says primary hyperthyroid again. I ask the above question

Recurring toxic nodular hyperthyroidism 3 years after hemi thyroidectomy
3 years ago (oc,t 2018) I had half my thyroid removed because I had a single very large toxic nodule causing hyperthyroidism. (I did have a 2mm "echo poor" nodule on the other side but was told it wasn't significant.) I had been on meds since 2015 and hadn't been able to stop them. Everything was fine

Who will prescribe my medication after total thyroidectomy?
Hello, I am having a TT on March 2nd and am wondering whether I will be discharged with a starter dose of Levo, and who I will see after that for getting the dose up to the right level? I’ve tried asking my GP but the answer was very unclear. Thanks in advance for your help!

After total thyroidectomy RI treatment, good idea?
I’ve had all of my thyroid removed and some thyroid cancer around my windpipe. It has been recommended I have radio active iodine treatment. I am taking 125 levothyroxine at the moment but have only been on them for 4 weeks. I would be interested to hear what anyone has to say about this situation

A place for surgery???
I am going for a
thyroidectomy
next week because of cardiac implications. What concerns me is that this type of progression of thyroid disease is hardly written about or fully explained.

Is It Normal or Odd to Not Feel Your Heartbeat After TT and/or on Levo?
In your respected opinions would you say it normal or abnormal to not feel your heartbeat after total
Thyroidectomy
and/or on Levo? I'm a year post surgical.
