Dodo appointment today 😠
I've tried everything this last 4 years since full
thyroidectomy
, she now wants me to come off T3 and go back on T4, I explained it doesn't matter what you put me on, it will not stop the stomach and bowle issues, it's the medication causing it.

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.

Fatigue after thyroidectomy
So I was just wondering if anyone else still has high levels of fatigue despite having a
thyroidectomy
and being on the right dose of medication.

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.

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?

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.

MCHC high levels help
I know this is a type of Anaemia and can be auto immune (I had graves before total
thyroidectomy
. ) I would be grateful if anyone has any advice on MCHC levels if there is anything I need to do ?

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.

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.

Total thyroidectomy remnants/ recurrence
I had a total
thyroidectomy
last year for graves disease. Throat scan 2 weeks ago shows recurrence or remnants of over 4 cms on my left lobe. My tsh is 0.6 uIU/ml and t4 is 11.7 pmol/L and I am taking 25mg euthroyx. Would this be classed as a near total
thyroidectomy
or sub total
thyroidectomy
?

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.

Just got my updated blood results
Hi all, I have had a partial
thyroidectomy
, this is my results. My ferretin is severely low and I wanted to ask does low iron <15 cause severe fatigue and tiredness and joint pain as that's what I've been feeling. Not sure if I should take thyroid medication as my iron dropped after the surgery.

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
