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.

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.

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.

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
.

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.

Latest blood results worsening Hypo symptoms of brain fog & insomnia. Any suggestions welcome.
Partially
thyroidectomy
in 1995 been on thyroxine since 1997. Undermedicated by GP for several years until 2022 when I eventually saw an NHS Endocrinologist who increased my Thyroxine. In 2023 I was given a 6 month trial of T3 which I started in December 2023.

Full thyroidectomy
I had my full

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.

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.

My thyroid story
Hi I’m Alev and I’m new here, I’ve had thyroid cancer a couple of years back and had a full
thyroidectomy
due to cancer on both sides and spreading to my lymph nodes. To explain my story I need to go back to the beginning about over 10 years ago when I first started having symptoms and problems.

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

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.

My Research into thyroid tissue growing back after TT🤔
However if your had total TT the chances of your thyroid regenerating is extremely unlikely, in these cases it would be that the
thyroidectomy
had been performed incorrectly .

Accord
Hi I’ve been taking Accord for the last year after taking Northstar since my
thyroidectomy
15 years ago. Over the last 6 weeks I have been having strange symptoms. Lots of burping loads of cattargh. Feeling nauseous. It’s making me feel rotten. Also bad anxiety. I take 125mg per day.

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.
