Hypothyroid
In January this year my GP saw that I jad a large goiter, so I had a bilateral subtotal
Thyroidectomy
in May, since it was huge both sides. They started me on 100mcg Eltroxin, which made me terribly sick, so they reduced it to 50mcg and after 6 weeks to 62.5mcg.

New here.
After having a
thyroidectomy
in 1984 I have taken levothyroxine. All seemed to be well until 7 years ago when I had an oophectomy. My levels shown in blood tests for t4 seemed to shoot up and I have now gradually got down from taking 175 mcg to 125mcg on 5 days and 100mcg on 2 days.

80-10 calling seaside susie
She showed me these results, (I have had a
thyroidectomy
, so am very conscientious about my thyroxine supplement), and was somewhat taken aback by these results and her nonchalance about them. What would be your take on all this. Thanks in advance.

So so tired of trying to get well with such poor results, 9 years on and I feel so depressed. (Graves’ disease) ( blood tests inc in post).
When the alternatives are RAI or
thyroidectomy
, I believe neither of these will cure Graves Disease, maybe due to a lady I met at the hospital 4 years ago having bloods that told me she had a
thyroidectomy
for Graves, didn’t cure it but she put on 7 stone and deeply regrets the surgery.

Glimmer of hope!
I had a
thyroidectomy
15 yrs ago for cancer and was on 100mcg levo. Which was fine until 4 years ago I started with hypothyroid symptoms. One of the last symptoms I gained was a loss of smell. The endo. I saw in May thought I had Parkinsons. Neurologist appointment end of October!

Thyroid and HBP
I have taken levothyroxine for 40 years (
thyroidectomy
) and for the last 20 years have been continually arguing with my GP about HBP, average 150/105. Over this time I have been prescribed several types of BP reducing tablets and all have had no effect whatsoever.

Radioactive Iodine Treatment or Thyroidectomy?
The thought of the scar on the front of my neck with a
thyroidectomy
really upsets me. However, with the radioactive iodine, my endo said that I would have to stay one metre away from people for three weeks. To me, this feels very isolating.

GRAVES AND THYROTOXICOSIS : GASTROINTESTINAL FINDINGS
Berryhill and Williams [373]found that 73% showed a return of free hydrochloric acid after surgical
thyroidectomy

What should my TSH level be?
I'm 6 months post-surgery for having a Total
Thyroidectomy
after battling with Graves Disease for nearly 4 years. After my surgery it was discovered that I had a papillary tumour which turned out to be cancerous, so feeling glad I opted to have my thyroid removed.

High T4. Low T3. Hight T3r test results & Rotating hypo and hyper symptoms
Having had a total
thyroidectomy
6 years ago (multiple benign goitres), I have been trying to find the best Levo dose to minimise the effects of permanent hypothyroidism. The hospital discharge daily dose was 150 judged by my weight at that time.

Abnormal Test Results
Hi everyone, It’s now been over 2 years since I had a total
thyroidectomy
due to a substernal goitre, and I’m still getting abnormal blood results (low TSH, high T4 and T3). My dose of Levothyroxine has been reduced a number of times by my GP.
