low Ferritin and hypothyroidism
I have long-standing hypothyroidism following a sub total
thyroidectomy
when I was in my twenties. I am now 71 years old. I had a goitre and was told that I had "Woody's thyroglossal disease" (an autoimmune disease like Hashimoto's). I take 125mcg of thyroxine a day.

Thyroid supplements?
I have had a total
thyroidectomy
and am wondering if it is worth taking an all-in-one thyroid supplement. What do you think? Please advise.😊

TSH level after TT
Serum TSH level 0.29 mlU/L [0.27 - 4.2] My only other result from before my
thyroidectomy
was 0.91. Thyroid was removed because of large cyst/swelling. Can anyone tell me if my TSH level is ok please? I’m still learning! Thank you x

Newbie so might be a silly question
Hi everyone I was started off on 125mg of Levothyroxine after a total
thyroidectomy
5 weeks ago. I have been told on an earlier post that people react differently on different brands of levothyroxine. I have just noticed that my 100mg are Accord and my 25mg are Wockhardt.

Vocal chord damage in thyroidectomy
Hi all, I had a total
Thyroidectomy
2 days ago which was a difficult op. My thyroid had grown so large it was pressing on my larynx, growing downwards to my chest, and growing round the back of my oesophagus.
