Anyone else feel there thyroid health is neglected by the professionals?
I had a
thyroidectomy
in 1999 and then became hypothyroid. I've been on Levythyroxine between 150 and 200mcg daily. No longer seen by an endocrinologist, I'm left to the care of my Gp .

VISIT TO GP ON 12/01/17
I also take thyroxine (100 mcg and 75 mcg) on alternate days, have done so since I had a partial
thyroidectomy
(nearly all of it removed really) in 1980. Have not had very recent tests done regarding this.

6 weeks post thyroidectomy + feeling awful
I am aware this is a normal symptom after having a
thyroidectomy
as my levels are clearly not yet correct. I was put on 125 mg Levo daily. I have not yet been told to have another blood test and have also not received any letter with an appointment to see my endo.

I can't get T3 on NHS anymore. Thinking of getting it on my own. Please help.
I was feeling so bad before when I was taking only levo for years after my total
thyroidectomy
. I don't want to feel like that no more, T3 really helped a lot. I am thinking of getting it on my own. Can you recommend the place where I can get in online maybe? It has to be without prescription now.

Side effects of Levethyroxine
I have been on Levothyroxine since I got thyroid cancer surgery (total
thyroidectomy
) 5 years ago. The tumors turned out to be small so the surgery was too early. I have been sick since I took Levothyroxine. I am in my 40's but feels as if I am in my 80's or 90's.

I was on 30 mcg of NHS T3, since my prescription was cancelled I ordered Uni Pharma T3 which is 25 mcg, how much to take now?
Since I can't live without T3 (especially since I had total
thyroidectomy
) I ordered it on my own online. I still have some of NHS T3 left and I am taking 30 mcg, 1 and 1/2 of tablet. I now have Uni Pharma T3 where tablets are 25 mcg. How to take it to be closest to the dose I am used to.

ARMOUR: T3 always high,T4 always low,TSH EXTREMELY low--docs won't help. Advice, please...
I am now on my 4th endocrinologist from prior to my full
thyroidectomy
(July 2015) till now (Dec. 2016). Three have done me harm in one way or another, and this new one is reluctant to tamper with the meds.

Thyroid Problem
I was given a partial
thyroidectomy
at the age of 17 and was drug free for 15 years. I am now on 125mg of Levothyroxine daily. Over the last year or so I have began to feel unwell. Symtoms range from aching muscles, especially my legs.

Partial thyroidectomy
Hi, I'm new to the group and would really appreciate some advice. I had an MRI scan which revealed an incidental finding - a thyroid mass. I've had an ultrasound and an FNA. The FNA showed no trace of malignancy but as there are malignant features on the ultrasound I am now scheduled to have the right

First blood results after total thyroidectomy
That's my first blood results 3 weeks after my total
thyroidectomy
and being on 150mcg Levothyroxine and 2 tablets of Calcium a day. What do you think of the results? I haven't seen a doctor yet. Am I being over or under medicated? Looking forward to hearing your views. Thanks Tamzin27

Holby City - Total Thyroidectomy
Yes - they really did say a patient is in for a total
thyroidectomy
(due to a tumour)! Wonder how it will pan out? Most often the thryoid hormone issues get ignored/dropped whenever they mention thyroid at all.
