Results help please
Hi everyone, I had a hemi-
thyroidectomy
6 weeks ago for multi nodular goitre. Results- benign adenoma. These are the results of my 6 week Post op blood test. Prior to this I’ve been ‘euthyroid’, my TSH result had ranged between 2.5 and 3.2.

Starting on thyroxine tomorrow
By the way, I had RAI in May 2018 for thyroid nodules, after a partial
thyroidectomy
in 2015. I’ll be collecting my meds later today and starting them in the morning.

Prescription for Erfa thyroid withdrawn
For 18 years I have been prescribed 4 grains of Erfa thyroid daily post
thyroidectomy
. My GP, following instruction from an endocrinologist I have seen twice, has told me I will now be prescribed 200 mg of lactose free Levothyroxine instead.

So tired and at a loss
After 20 years doing pretty well on thyroxine following
thyroidectomy
at aged 21, I saw an endo about hyperparathyroidism (leading to removal of 2 rumours), he said that lots of my symptoms were probably due to my thyroid and not the hyper parathyroidism. And suggested trying NDT.

Medication after thyroidectomy
So I had a total
thyroidectomy
on Saturday morning. Everything went perfectly, my 4 parathyroid glands and vocal cords are preserved (yay!) and I’m beginning my long journey back to the UK tomorrow. The aftercare at the hospital was abysmal, I wasn’t even seen by an endo (or the surgeon!)

Brand for levothyroxine
I was just started on levothyroxine 3 weeks ago after my
thyroidectomy
. I was given 100 micro grams from TEVA. I have been feeling fine after starting it. Now they are saying that the company does not manufacture medicines anymore. Any suggestions on which is the best brand for this medicine?

1 year post-total thyroidectomy
To make a long story short, about a year ago I underwent a total
thyroidectomy
after having battled Grave's disease for much of my teens.

Thyroidectomy tomorrow... Any positive experiences?
Hi everyone! My surgery is tomorrow and I’m not sure how I feel about it at the moment. While I’m not nervous about the actual procedure, the fact that people keep telling me ‘DONT DO IT, IT RUINED MY LIFE’ is so disheartening. It’s very valid that some people have had bad experiences after surgery,

Taking t3 without thyroid gland
Is there any of you taking t3 who had undergone
thyroidectomy
? I am planning on using it as ndt suited better than levo but it is still not optimal.. Maybe I am not at my full dose yet tho.. I would be glad to hear from anyone who takes t3 only and is without gland..

Thyroidectomy/Buying T3 in Turkey
I’m currently in hospital in Turkey awaiting a
thyroidectomy
due to carbimazole induced neutropenia. I’m taking Lugol’s iodine to bring my levels down, and as soon as it’s safe to do so I’ll be having surgery.

First consultation following total thyroidectomy
I have my first consultation with my surgeon tomorrow. Due to the current circumstances this will be a phone call. What should I be asking? My TT was performed due to presumed cancer, so I expect to be given pathology results. Do target bloods depend upon the reason for TT? Should I be asking for referral

New nodule after total thyroidectomy
I had a total
thyroidectomy
in August, RAI in September followed by full body scan which showed uptake only in thyroid area. I had an ultrasound last week which showed a small nodule with vascularity. Doctor doesn’t want to “over treat” so we’re doing another ultrasound in 3 months.

Will NDT bring cholestorol and pre - diabetes levels down
Over past few months have had levothyroxine reduced from 100mcg to 75mcg post
thyroidectomy
many years ago due to cancer, Endo said I was over prescribed levo which contributed to cardio issues (awaiting tests and diagnosis). Diagnosed with hypertension, high cholestorol and pre-diabetes.
