Hello My 17 year old daughter had a total
thyroidectomy
(March 2016) due to a large goitre restricting her windpipe causing her problems swallowing and breathing, it was full of cysts but no cancer thank goodness. She had Hashimotos anyway so was on levo before the op.

Why is my body hooked on only 200mcg thyroxine?!
I had my sub-total
thyroidectomy
surgery back in 2009 and was started off on 25 mcg thyroxine and gradually increased until I felt normal and fine on 200mcg. And ever since I have been happy on that dose. I feel perfectly fine and normal on it.

Goiter
I'm now told I must have a
thyroidectomy
due to the distortion of my windpipe. No one told me that toxicity is the cause and that there may be alternative approaches. Does anyone have any ideas about diet approaches detoxing etc and if they can shrink the goiter?

Replacement after total thyroidectomy
I have severe hair loss. All causes are excluded. I am on euthyrox and my investigations are normal. I didn't have this problem when I was on eltroxin but I stopped it because tsh was 8 while taking 150 micrograms eltroxin. Now should I shift to eltroxin again to stop hair loss?

Over-the-Counter Thyroid Supplements
Do over-the-counter thyroid supplements based on animal thyroid glands contain thyroid hormones? The waters are very murky. How do you assess this when the manufacturers/distributors often claim they are hormone-free? Are these products consistent - as in always containing pretty much the same amount

After a battle GP agrees to test T4!
So after my previous posts about increasing TSH after my partial
thyroidectomy
I have become a nuisance at my GPs until they agree to further tests.

New on site, Could someone help with my results please
I had a hemi
thyroidectomy
a few years ago and have been feeling progressively ill lately. When I rang for results I was told they were normal, so I asked for the results so that I could compare them to my last ones. My Free T4 level is 10.6 and my TSH is 1.349. Could anyone help? Thanks.

High tsh and high t4 - help!
Hi all I had a total
thyroidectomy
a few years ago. Over the past year I've had a lot of dose changes as GP basically can't work out what is wrong with me. I was put up to 150mg before Xmas due to high tsh, 3 weeks later put down to 100mg because I'd become very hyperthyroid.

Do thyroid antibodies disappear after Thyroidectomy?
She told me that after her
thyroidectomy
she decided not to have any more children because she was on the thyroxine and my father was on blood pressure medication so she didn't want to take the risk of harming any subsequent child.

Radio 4 Dr. Mark Porter discussing thyroid cancer
Balasubramanian Correct, so after the entire gland has been removed, or in other words a total
thyroidectomy
has been performed, the radioactive iodine, when given orally, gets preferentially taken up the thyroid gland along with the thyroid cancer and it helps to mop up any microscopic tiny remnants

Hi, I'm 49 and had a hemi
thyroidectomy
a few years back due to a suspicious nodule, which thankfully turned out to be benign. I have suffered for years with hypothyroid symptoms but my bloods according to the doctor are within the OK limits.
