Low Dose Naltrexone
( just for background I developed a goitre in 2021, biopsy came back inconclusive so I had a partial
thyroidectomy
2/3rds removed, started levothyroxine but despite my dose increasing my antibodies are still off the chart and my symptoms haven’t improved)

HRT after Thyroid Cancer
Radical neck dissection full
thyroidectomy
dozen lymph nodes removed. I've been on a rollercoaster with thyroxine for all that time struggling to feel well. Just got a new diagnosis of significant endometriosis, large cysts. Dr can't tell me its definitely not ovarian cancer until its removed.

total thyroidectomy, 20 years ago
I had a total
thyroidectomy
approximately 20 years ago it was removed because it grew very large and was choking me , it had grown down into my chest cavity, and also around my trachea. I take 150 µg of levothyroxine per day. Apparently I’m in the normal range.

Thyroid ups & downs
I had a total
thyroidectomy
in France in 2012 & I still don't understand what changes occur in the body which require my dose of levoythyroxine to be increased or decreased when I haven't got a thyroid in the first place !

Tirosint
Its been 10.5 months since my
thyroidectomy
. I was at .69 TSH on levothyroxine 100 mgs a day with mega side effects. Doctors just switched me Tirosint 88 mgs a day. Am I to expect more serious changes, again. I lost my voice, got chubby, lost hair, aged, and more.

Full thyroidectomy
I had my full
thyroidectomy
nearly 8 weeks ago. After my surgery I had tingling sensation on my face and arms within 10 hours of the surgery whilst in hospital.

Hyper/hyper thyroidism?
As I had a partial
thyroidectomy
40 years ago and do not take any thyroid supplementary tablets, any clues as to what may be going on.

Pub med article challenging traditional TSH-based approach
[i]In a study evaluating tissue function tests before total
thyroidectomy
and at 1 year postoperatively when using LT4, it was found that peripheral tissue function tests indicated mild hyperthyroidism at TSH <0.03 mU/L and mild hypothyroidism at TSH 0.3 to 5.0 mU/L; the tissues were closest to euthyroidism

So very grateful for Thyroid UK
My son will be 48 this year and that’s how long I have had to deal with Hashimotos, though it took until he was at least 5 years old before I got a diagnosis of Hashimotos after
thyroidectomy
.

New Thyroid Results - Conversion Issue?
Hi, After an emotional Thyroid rollercoaster these past couple years (post partial
thyroidectomy
12/2/21 in combination with an Endo who doesn't believe in compounded medication), I finally seem to be settling into a medication and dose that works okay.

Jaw/Tooth ache with Liothyronine
In previous posts I've mentioned my poor conversion of T4 to T3 following
thyroidectomy
over 2 years ago. As a consequence in January I went to a private endo and got a script for 90 tablets of Thybon Henning T3 20mcg which I got from Roseway Labs.

Getting a thyroidectomy soon, what to expect?
Hi, recently diagnosed with a tumour in my thyroid, so team at hospital will be removing the whole thing soon. I am overwhelmed with all this stuff I've been reading here about T4/T3, vitamins, calcium etc. I thought I just had to take a tablet every day, dosage might be adjusted if necessary, but that

anyone opted for Watch and Wait with indeterminate nodules thy3f? Looking for people with similar previous experience to make up my mind
Doctors recommended total
thyroidectomy
. Because doing hemi will still leave them in the dark about what’s on the other side. My nodules are thy3f, risk of malignancy from 10-30%. I have 70% cgance it’s not cancer but I cannot know for sure.

Mounjaro for weight gain after thyroidectomy
He said some weight gain is common, but not alot, which I disagree with as I know many women who have gained 40+ pounds after a
thyroidectomy
. I asked my GP about mounjaro and she thinks it could be really helpful to kick start some weight loss after this.

Partial thyroidectomy and parathyroid glands
Anyone know whether surgeons try to preserve the parathyroid glands associated with the half-thyroid removed during a hemithyroidectomy? I would imagine that they're tricky to preserve so I wouldn't be surprised if they just whip them out along with the half-thyroid being removed.

TSH levels
I had a totle
thyroidectomy
in 2006 due to thyroid cancer. Im a 57 year old male builder. Was put on 200mcg thyroxin until november last year when it was reduced to 175 then 150 in April. This was due to my TSH levels being 0.01 and T4 being 35.
