Thyroidectomy in Buckinghamshire or Oxfordshire?
Is there anyone on here who has had a partial or full
thyroidectomy
in Buckinghamshire or Oxfordshire who would be happy to share their experience, good or bad, and provide any tips/advice? Having had nodules for a number of years, one of mine increased in size in Jan 22.

Jump in Serum TSH
Does anyone have any thoughts as to why my TSH should suddenly jump from an average of 0.2 to 5.34.I had a total
thyroidectomy
flowing cancer discovery 4 years ago. And have been on 150 mg of Levo as a supressing doses to keep any new thyroid cells at bay. Have felt generally ok.

thyroidectomy
last June.

Thyroid blood tests results - Help required
I had a
thyroidectomy
in 2017. I have had an ongoing battle with GP's over treatment. My latest TSH that my GP tested was 0.07. This was the only test he carried out having refused to test F4 & F3. I was on 75mg T4 & 10mg T3. GP lowered T4 to 50mg against my wishes.

Hi everyone ❤️
Total
thyroidectomy
noted. Hyperdense nodule of approx 13mm x 12mm noted in right thyroid bed which looks low - grade, uptake on early images which persisted on delayed images. This May represent thyroid tissue??

Conundrum
It's been 11 years since it went haywire having been perfectly well for 30 years on 100mcg following a
thyroidectomy
nearly 60 years ago. I am extremely sensitive to levo and can only tolerate small doses.

Can NDT help with low calcium levels?
Since my total
thyroidectomy
in April I have been on put on 125 mcg of Levothyroxine and am tolerating it quite well ( no gastro problems like with most tablets and energy levels ok ) except for extreme muscle stiffness and joint pain.

Private Endocrinologists
Does anyone have a particular recommendation for a private endo on here. I have recently received the lists from TUK and I’m tempted to go with a female doctor in Bristol as she is a hypo sufferer too, so at least knows our plight. I don’t have a thyroid now, after 2 partial thyroidectomies and ablation

WHERE TO FROM HERE
I am 10 months post
thyroidectomy
. I am well and am on 180ndt a day as a single dose. My GP is telling me he is concerned about such a high dose and feels I am using the NDT as a stimulant to live my active lifestyle.

heart rate after thyroidectomy
Hi All, I had a total
thyroidectomy
on July 21st. I started my levothyroxine the next day. Ever since the surgery, I have had a higher resting heart rate, between 80-110. It’s very frustrating and a really annoying symptom. Has anyone experienced, and if so how long did it last?

Help with bending the truth to obtain right prescription
I have a total
thyroidectomy
and was very ill at 50 mcg Levo to the level that I was almost non-functioning. Found out Dr had not realised I'd had a total
Thyroidectomy
and was going by TSH.

Weird optical lights/constant bad headache
But the specialist asked some medical questions so I told her all my health woes since full
thyroidectomy
in 2019 and primary hyperparathyroidism diagnosis again in 2020, 2005 chronic fatigue syndrome, fibro, she was most interested saying one or more of your conditions can have a bearing on eye health

Request for levo increase
I’ve told her to ask for an increase to her levo but as hers is caused by the
thyroidectomy
should she still ideally get her TSH to around 1? I didn’t know if it was different in this case? I’m really hoping this could help her depression and lethargy. Thanks in advance.
