Correct dosage of thyroxine and blood test
I had a
thyroidectomy
in 2007 and was on 100mcg of thyroxine. Everything was fine until the menopause and my hormones went beserk! Thyroxine was reduced to 50 then up to 75, which I'm currently on. I'm told my blood results are normal but I don't feel normal.

Later that month I underwent a total neck dissection,
thyroidectomy
and had 53 lymph nodes removed. Pre op calcitonin was 4,000 post op was 4 and the doctors told me that this was great news.

TSH IS TOO HIGH. Is it possible to get pregnant?
Undergone total
thyroidectomy
on the same yr. and I just had my TSH exam last month and the result was too high. Normal TSH should be 0.1-4.2 but mine was 41. My doctor changed my meds dosage from 100 to 150. I just want to ask if it is possible for me to get pregnant with that TSH level?

Hypo for years and never felt well
I'm ashamed to say that although I had a sub-total
thyroidectomy
25 years ago I have not researched things properly until now. Every now and again I looked some things up, felt it was hopeless because nhs didn't want to know and gave up again.

Changing to T3- more Iodine needed
Hallo everybody, I had a
Thyroidectomy
1996 and was for long years ( under) substitute with T4. Recently my health deteriorated further and I decided to give T3 a try.

Bad taste in my mouth
I've got a bad taste, almost metallic, in my mouth that developed 6 weeks after a partial
thyroidectomy
. Could this be the cause?

T4 way out of range.
I had a partial
thyroidectomy
in December 2008 and a papillary cancer was found after surgery so thyroid suppression is the plan but the Levothyroxine medication has not managed this yet. The levothyroxine started at 300mg in 2009 2075mg in 2012 and now 250mg 2 months ago.

I'd like to find a reliable T3 source - please.
Having had a total
thyroidectomy
in 2011 I found getting back to good health very slow, eventually I was prescribed T3 and life got better. Sadly, economics dictates that T3 is no longer available on the NHS. Can anyone here help me with a relatable route of how to obtain T3.

Latest Results- GP wants to see me.
Good Afternoon All, I have post
thyroidectomy
hypothyroidism and 2/3 months ago hit an all time low - I put this down partly to a change to Teva brand levothyroxine tablets but most likely undertreatment.
