SSRIs
She is now 42 and has been told over several years that she needs a
thyroidectomy
, but refuses because of her lack of trust in the medical profession. Her symptoms are damaging her life and health, so some answers would be very much appreciated

Weaning off proprananol
Hello everyone,I have Graves disease and had a
thyroidectomy
in June 2022.I am having conversion problems ,even with a very over-range T4.I know proprananol can reduce T4 to T3 conversion and am looking to try and wean off it. My GP put me on 20mg 3x a day as a migraine preventative.

Thyroidectomy
So just wondered if anybody who has had experience of
thyroidectomy
with any issues or complications could give me any advice about it and how the operation/recovery was and aftercare and conversion issues and how the NHS has treated them.

anyone help with article that states that it is not alright to prescribe different doses of Liothyronine on alternate days?
reference regarding this unorthodox prescribing of T3 in split different doses I can send to him to support my case against this splitting of the T3 like this as I feel awful on it and suspect my Levo is too low as guidelines state it should be 1.6 - 1. 8mcg per Kilo of body weight for those post

To Thyroidectomy or Not to Thyroidectomy
The surgeon at MGH has recommended total
thyroidectomy
. I cannot do radioactive iodine because I also have Graves' induced Thyroid Eye Disease. This has been a shit year. Currently, I feel okay but all my thyroid levels are completely NOT normal.

Thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter
I underwent a full
thyroidectomy
due to several big nodules. I have never been told whether it was due to Hashimoto or Graves… Is there any way to know at all?

Below range neutrophils and hypothyroidism - the Link between…….
I thought it was coincidental that Since becoming hypothyroid due to a partial
thyroidectomy
, my kappa lambada neutrophil ratio has been consistently testing just below range, My gp was concerned enough to request blood tests every 4 months to keep an eye on it because it could point to a possible

levothyroxine
Had Graves’ disease and had total
thyroidectomy
a few weeks ago due to U3 nodule on left side and numerous ones on right side, obviously I’m now on Levothyroxine, told to take Levothyroxine in the morning, does anyone take it at night?

Levothyroxine brands
Since the
thyroidectomy
I just keep gaining weight and am now at 73kgs. I know I do not overeat and eat as healthily as possible and exercise. Recent Medichecks showed all ok and that even my TSH had begun to register. I am on Accord Levo alternating daily 75 and 100 .

Low T4 still T3 improving
I had a partial
thyroidectomy
in 1995 But since 2017 had symptoms of Hypothyroidism which my GP ignored until I was admitted to hospital unable to function at all. I eventually saw an Endocrinologist who told me I had been undermedicated for years.

Low Dose Naltrexone
( just for background I developed a goitre in 2021, biopsy came back inconclusive so I had a partial
thyroidectomy
2/3rds removed, started levothyroxine but despite my dose increasing my antibodies are still off the chart and my symptoms haven’t improved)

Total thyroidectomy - anyone have a positive story ?
Hey everyone - I’m very nervous about having a total
thyroidectomy
in mid February. I have seen so many horror stories. Do any of you have an experience that didn’t turn sour ?

Thyroid ups & downs
I had a total
thyroidectomy
in France in 2012 & I still don't understand what changes occur in the body which require my dose of levoythyroxine to be increased or decreased when I haven't got a thyroid in the first place !
