Blood test results
Hi everybody Had total
thyroidectomy
in 2015. My last blood test result for TSH is 3.6 miu/L [0.2 - 5.5]. Have not had ft3 or ft4 done. So I'm in a range. Can somebody tell me something from this? Does it indicate anything? Thanks

All the symptoms of hypothyroidism but told test normal.
I am having a right side
thyroidectomy
next week and hope when my tsh levels are measured again after that I might be low or high enough to get medication. I desperately want and need to feel better. I am 49 but I don't think its the menopause as my symptoms don't seem to match up.

Hello just looking for support following Total Thyroidectomy and to share my story.
As well as the usual risks related to a
Thyroidectomy
, the other significant risk was tracheal collapse during and post surgery.

Swollen neck and thyroid nodule..
UPDATE: 1st August 2018 After being passed between hospitals on the NHS I finally had full
thyroidectomy
and 59 lymph nodes removed... I had a tbyroid the size of a coca cola tin and 2 tumours, the biggest was 45mm. I had my surgery privately at the Spire in Leeds, on 6th October 2017.

Supplementation after total thyroidectomy
Hi all, a friend of mine had her whole thryoid removed over 3 months ago. She has not been started on any replacement hormone, she says she is aching all over and struggles to get out of bed or stay awake. What shocked me is that she recently saw her GP who ran some blood tests and told her her levels

Weight Gain and the Intermittent Fasting Protocol
Hi I had a total
thyroidectomy
a month or so ago. I was already morbidly obese but had had success in losing 2stone prior to the op. Upon leaving hospital until now, I gained 21lb, seven of which were put on in 1 week after inducing a calorie controlled diet of between 1200-1400 calories a day.

Would anyone have experience with vocal chord damage?
I just had my follow up with my surgeon after my 1/2
thyroidectomy
a week ago, and now my right vocal chord won't move, and my voice sounds horrible. I sing in 3 choirs. I sang in Carnegie Hall.

Hello and good morning x Two and a half months ago I had a total
Thyroidectomy
, due to having treatment for Graves Disease for 5 years, but I kept relapsing. I really thought that this would solve all my health issues.

Low TSH, High T4 but all the symptoms of Hypothroid
I am new to the forum and am REALLY confused by my current situation I had a Total
Thyroidectomy
8 years ago. Understandably, it took a little time to get my levels right but I ended up on 200mcg Levothyroxine daily and felt absolutely fine on this.
