Chronic fatigue
I had a full
thyroidectomy
due to cancer in May 2017 ( 10ish weeks ago). Since then my dosage went from 100 to 112 to 125mcg of levothyroxine. I've been taking 125mcg for about 3 weeks. My levels haven't been tested since switching to the 125.

Magnesium
I have been type 1 on insulin for 40 years and hypothyroid for two and a half after a
thyroidectomy
. I am currently on large doses of Vit D for my deficiency at 25000iu twice a week. I see on here K2 is recommended when taking D3 and this also seems to link to magnesium.

Hyperthyroidism, having full thyroidectomy in 3 weeks, panicking about afterwards!
I have 5 children, 2 under 2 years old and so the radiation therapy is not a go for me as I cannot be anywhere near children for 2 weeks and as my levels have been so uncontrolled the surgeon and consultant both think this may not work for me so have opted for a full
thyroidectomy
.

Hello Everyone x After posting on here last week explaining that in April I had a total
Thyroidectomy

Feeling exhausted!
On 7th July this year, I had a left-sided partial
thyroidectomy
because there was a cyst growing inside and getting bigger. It was first discovered by my GP in March 2016 and after a scan was found to be benign. However, it got bigger and was advised that I would need this operation.

Dr. Renée Hoenderkamp hypothyroidism & treatment vlog
Renée Hoenderkamp is a NHS GP who had a

17 years ago. In her weekly vlog (19.24 minutes) Dr. Hoenderkamp discusses blood tests, Levothyroxine and T3 treatment, when to request referral to endocrinology, and how to appeal the potential deprescribing of T3.

blood test results finally
I am having surgery on Monday to remove the goitre and check to see if it is cancerous but they say that none of my symptoms will change after having the partial
thyroidectomy
which I think seems ridiculous, why on earth did I suddenly get a goiter in the first place then and why do I feel so unwell,

Blood test results
Hi everybody Had total
thyroidectomy
in 2015. My last blood test result for TSH is 3.6 miu/L [0.2 - 5.5]. Have not had ft3 or ft4 done. So I'm in a range. Can somebody tell me something from this? Does it indicate anything? Thanks

All the symptoms of hypothyroidism but told test normal.
I am having a right side
thyroidectomy
next week and hope when my tsh levels are measured again after that I might be low or high enough to get medication. I desperately want and need to feel better. I am 49 but I don't think its the menopause as my symptoms don't seem to match up.

Hello just looking for support following Total Thyroidectomy and to share my story.
As well as the usual risks related to a
Thyroidectomy
, the other significant risk was tracheal collapse during and post surgery.

Weight Gain and the Intermittent Fasting Protocol
Hi I had a total
thyroidectomy
a month or so ago. I was already morbidly obese but had had success in losing 2stone prior to the op. Upon leaving hospital until now, I gained 21lb, seven of which were put on in 1 week after inducing a calorie controlled diet of between 1200-1400 calories a day.

Supplementation after total thyroidectomy
Hi all, a friend of mine had her whole thryoid removed over 3 months ago. She has not been started on any replacement hormone, she says she is aching all over and struggles to get out of bed or stay awake. What shocked me is that she recently saw her GP who ran some blood tests and told her her levels

Would anyone have experience with vocal chord damage?
I just had my follow up with my surgeon after my 1/2
thyroidectomy
a week ago, and now my right vocal chord won't move, and my voice sounds horrible. I sing in 3 choirs. I sang in Carnegie Hall.

Is Levothyroxine making me anxious?
I had a partial
thyroidectomy
in February due to a large benign nodule & told by endocrinologist I can live sufficiently with half thyroid & no medication required. I see a private doctor is london and she put me on 25mcg levothyroxine after looking at my blood results.
