Looking for help and guidance on starting T3 only
The only treatment the NHS has iffered me is total
thyroidectomy
which I have not had. The PD started me on 30mg (divided by 2 doses) and told me to increase by 15mg every two weeks, until symptoms improved. Currently, I take 75mg metavive (equiv to 1 1/4 grain).

Should I remove my thyroid (total thyroidectomy)?
My new doctor strictly recommended me to remove my hashi's thyroid. There's not many left already. I'm suffering almost 30 years from my thyroid disfunction. Please share with me your experience. Is it really beneficial?

Advice please on obtaining a specific Levo brand on prescription
Next week I am due to have a total
thyroidectomy
and will be on levo from this point on. Would someone please let me know if I can request a specific brand of levo (Teva) from my GP/endo?

Total thyroidectomy too low TSH normal T4
Total
thyroidectomy
10 years ago, also have Rheumatoid Arthritis. Have been suffering will bad fatigue. My GP has decided as TSH 0.14 too low and T4 17 so ok, to reduce my Levothyroxine. 100mcg 3 days, 75mcg 4 days a week. This seems far too low.

Thyroidectomy and suppressed TSH
I had a full
thyroidectomy
in 2010, ( I had multiple thyroid nodules and the surgeon made out it was a simple proceedure and I'd just need to take a hormone replacement daily. If I'd educated myself before the op rather than after i might have been a bit more cautious!)

Thyroxine Supply
Hi I am new here and had a total
Thyroidectomy
in April of this year. Cancer was found and I am waiting to see if I need RAI. I want to go abroad for a couple of months but am having difficulty persuading my GP to prescribe sufficient thyroxine.

What Happens if I Take Levothyroxine with Adrenal Problems?
I am also taking Levothyroxine 150mg due to
Thyroidectomy
in 2000. How does that work and shall I stop taking Levothyroxine till I fix the problem of the Adrenal Gland? Can I have some help on the subject?

Thyroid problems, cancer?
At this point, and after many tests, I stand a good chance of having my ct show cancer of my thyroid, and I just wanted to see if any one has had thyroid cancer, or a
thyroidectomy
. I am kinda worried about the whole surgery thing, and cancer. Thank you, Claudia

Post Thyroidectomy
I had a total
thyroidectomy
in Oct 2009 due to substernal multinodular goitre. I have coped fairly well over the years on Levothyroxine 150mcg with only one or two episodes of medication affecting my health.

Nodule shrink with T3?
Hi, my mom had a partial
thyroidectomy
a few years ago. since then she is taking NDT and feels good. Her doctor says she has a small nodule on her other part of the thyroid and sent her to ultrasound. I Have research that some people have shrunk this with natural supplements.

GP wants £25 to say if I'm fit to join the gym!
I finally joined the gym today, 6 months after my total
thyroidectomy
. I've put on nearly a stone since and I'm finding it very hard to lose weight. Whilst doing the membership paperwork, I had to declare that I have no thyroid and had surgery 6 months ago.

Need a little hope
I'm 8 months post total
thyroidectomy
because of cancer. I've had many thyroid labs in my life and all were normal. I've been super blessed to have not experienced any health problems for my age, and didn't even have hypo symtems when diagnosed.
