Experiences with

Thyroidectomy

I had Graves’ disease and got a thyroidectomy last year and I’m currently on levothyroxine. Is the reason I’m being prescribed aspirin to prevent preeclampsia? Why wasn’t this explained if so?

What does it mean if thyroid antibodies increase after a thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer? My tg is undecectable but my thyroid antibodies keep increasing. Consultant has told me not to worry but is sending me for an ultrasound I can’t help but worry 😢

hi everyone I am new here 😊 I am a full thyroidectomy patient so I have no thyroid which was fully removed in June, I also have no working parathyroid glands either 🙈.

Hi all, I’ve had Total Thyroidectomy in June 2022 - 6 months ago due Papillary cancer. There was 17 lymph nodes removed and thankfully there was no spread in them. My blood test is ok so far too, but I still feel pain around my scar and where the nodule used to be.

Had any one developed this after a thyroidectomy or just ear issues in general?I feel like it's one thing after another.I see an ENT in a couple weeks to confirm kind regards

Hi.I had a full thyroidectomy 4 years ago.I currently take 100micro of levothyroxine. I have no symptoms of being over medicated.In my last review the endo wanted to reduce my meds to 75micro based on TSH. I argued that as I felt fine I did not want a 25% reduction of my dose.

Due to persistent AF and by now, a diagnosis of Graves, I was lined up for either a Thyroidectomy or Radio Iodine and sent to the local Endocrinologist. The one request I had was: “please don’t make me fat again”.

I understand the risks associated with a total thyroidectomy, especially in my condition, but feel that doing it is a lesser risk ( I know an excellent surgeon who removed my right thyroid) and may bring significant improvement to my health. Please help.

I've been diagnosed with Menier's disease, I had a total thyroidectomy December last year 2021. I've been swinging from hypo to hyper since trying to adjust my medication dose.

When I was first put onto Levo only back in 2015 after my Thyroidectomy I became very ill. After a few months I joined this site and have been well on Thyroid snow for over seven years. Anyway, I have posted and tried Levo again just half of 75mcgto start with.

I underwent a thyroidectomy in Feveruary of this year because I didn't feel well with the methanisol. And It was a good decision because I had papillary microcarcinoma in my thyroid. But since then I can't stabilize my values.

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2018, had thyroidectomy in Feb 2019. I think that I was hypothyroid for many years prior to the thyca diagnosis, but I asked my surgeon at the time if I had a thyroid issue and his answer was “no, you’re not being treated for one, are you?”

Originally I took 125mcg daily after my thyroidectomy for many years. Repeated AF episodes always were associated with a lowering TSH result. Maybe someone could shed a light on whether such a tiny alteration can make such a big difference. And how do I keep on top of it?

I had a thyroidectomy years ago and take Levo 150mcg daily.

FT3: 4.27 pg/mLl (Range 2.18 - 3.98) 116. FT4: 1.53 Ng/dl (Range 0.76 - 1.46) 110.00% FT3: 4.27 pg/mLl (Range 2.18 - 3.98) 116.11% My test have been in normal range since thyroid removed. Suddenly they went to the range above. I lost 20 lbs, my son dyed, could this be the cause? I’ve been on 100

Back in 2015 I joined this site after my thyroidectomy and after taking the brilliant advice on here I have been well for over seven years. Now due to a dud batch of Thyroid s I have decided to change to Levo plus T3.

They now have reduced again to 125mg (never been this low mgs) I had my thyroidectomy back in 1994. My tsh levels r up and down like a yo yo highest being 83 in August 2020. 

I posted a few weeks ago about a blood test I was having to measure my thyroid levels following a partial thyroidectomy that I had back in July 2022.
