I have relapsed after coming off B&R and I am seeing my Endo this afternoon :(
I am also against having a
thyroidectomy
, I have no idea how this will affect me in the long run and my fertility chances too, I am 32 years old. Can anyone give me some advice just so I am prepared for my appointment this afternoon? I am taking my Fiance with me so I have some backup. Thanks x

Blood tests following total thyroidectomy
How often should I have blood tests following a total
thyroidectomy
? They have just reduced my levothyroxine 5 weeks ago as my T4 was high and TSH low. I can't just go into the surgery and ask for a test, they won't let me.

Dithyron T3/T4 combination, anyone tried it?
I had a total
thyroidectomy
in 2013. Never really recovered back to full health after that, got pensioned off my job at age 30 and have been rendered "disabled". At my wits end and have been plagued with lots of other autoimmune diseases since
thyroidectomy
.

Thyroid nodule - operate or alternatives?
I'm a bit concerned about having a
thyroidectomy
, as I have no idea what it entails after - and how it could affect my health. Does anyone have any experience of thyroid nodules. - Do they grow / need surgery? - Are there alternatives? - What happens after a
thyroidectomy
? Thanks :)

Abnormal nodule. Follicular.
They would like to remove it and possibly remove a partial lobe or a full
thyroidectomy
. I'm wondering what life is like after either or those? I'm told I'll have hyperthyroidism for life. Is that manageable or will I have knock on effects from this?

Not having much luck with Endos, 1 month after surgery was put on 20mcg of Liothyronine and 150 mg levothyroxine as the endo said i was unable to convert T4. about 4 months ago a new endo took me off the T3 and reduced the T4 to 125mg.

Hi I have only just starting 50 micrograms of thyroxine after surgery from having
Thyroidectomy
in December and was wondering if anyone has ever felt like this from taking the medicine before?

Hello new to this forum
Following another relapse of the Graves, I had a total
Thyroidectomy
on March 1st. Now take Levothyroxine 125. This seems to be coincided with a return Colitis symptoms. I have no appetite, feel bloated and full without any food. I'm also getting pain under my left ribs and into my side.

Total thyroidectomy
I have no thyroid, my TSH is low and my T4 high. They have just reduced my levothyroxine, they say I have hyperthyroidism but I don't have any symptoms to suggest that. I feel really well. I'm worried I will land up being hypo and gain weight. As it is I have been struggling to lose weight. Should I

Can't process stress since thyroidectomy
When stressful situations arise in my life (just basic things like having to do extra things out my routine ie extra work etc), mentally I can be OK and rational, but since my
thyroidectomy
, physically it's like I can't process stress. I get insomnia and heart palpitations and feel all jittery.

Delayed Post-Surgical Hypoparathyroidism: The Forgotten Chameleon!

A new recruit???
I have a 15 year history of thyroid symptoms which culminated in having a near total
thyroidectomy
8 years ago. I take Levothyroxine daily and also I have Vit D deficiency and take co calciferol 800iu. Having read so much about PA I am starting to wonder if I too may be B12 deficient.

Levo dosage after total thyroidectomy
I was wondering how much Levothyroxine you are taking daily after your total
thyroidectomy
. I've been thyroidless since October 2016 (nearly 6 months) and I can't seem to get my Levothyroxine dosage right.

GP scared me. Help understand results please.
Hi all, Following a total
thyroidectomy
5 months ago, I'm still struggling to reach the right dosage of medication and optimum health. Maybe I'm being too optimistic about optimum health without a thyroid.

Concerned about how to act
Following total
thyroidectomy
I have had radioactive iodine injection today to see if the cancer may have spread. I have another injection tomorrow followed by scans on Wed and Thurs. I have shut myself away from family and pets but I'm not too sure how long I need to be isolated.

Massive reduction in thyroxine dose
I have been on thyroxine since total
thyroidectomy
3 years ago. I am usually on 100mcg but whenever I go on a diet and start to lose weight, my blood test suggests (and GP orders) a reduction to 75mcg. At which point the weight loss stops and reverses.
