Thyroidectomy one week ago and feel awful
Hi I had a Total
thyroidectomy
last Thursday and put on 125mg Levo - I feel exhausted and have constant headaches. Was given no advice whatsoever and not going back for another five weeks. Can anyone give advice on how to feel better? Thank you Btw I had it removed due to multi modular goitre.

Raised liver enzymes
I had a total
thyroidectomy
following it being enlarged and covered in cysts in August 2018 - blood tests also showed my thyroid levels were falling out of range.

Help understanding results
Would having a
thyroidectomy
solve the problems I'm having and hence forth put me on the same dose forever 3. Back in 2018 I was seeing a functional doctor (I was desperate for help) and she found faulty DIO2 gene. Does this mean I need T3 or can I try just taking T4 only.

Does Amiodarone affect thyroid hormones & a load of other issues as well?
I also take Levothyroxine after having a total
Thyroidectomy
(thyroid removed) in 2013 for Graves Disease (overactive) I have not had any problems with my thyroid medication until I started the Amiodarone.
