Thyroid Tests
I had a
thyroidectomy
and recently had blood work. My T4 level went up from 1.7 to 1.82. What does that mean?

How on earth do you sleep after Hemi Thyroidectomy? ?
Morning, had my Hemi
Thyroidectomy
on Thurs. Spent one night in hospital wired and probably high on morphine so couldn't sleep at all. First night at home last night and can't lay flat so lots of pillows etc but my body just won't sleep sat up.

ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE.
First post on Pernicious anaemia forum, although i have posted on the thyroid forum as i have had a total
thyroidectomy
due to graves disease. After several visits to the Drs with fatigue breathlessness on exertion and a general unwell feeling, blood results showed that my B12 was low 185 PMOI/L.

Advice - Thyroidectomy next week
Good evening all, Wondering if anyone has had or can offer any advice about a
thyroidectomy
. I am due to have it done on Friday 25th as long as my lugols iodine has worked and suppressed my TSH level. I have Graves' disease and have become resistant to carbimozole.

I'm scheduled for Hemi
Thyroidectomy
22nd Nov, had my pre op yesterday. My surgeon seemed quite concerned at my previous appointment but the nurse at the pre op was very reassuring and said its unlikely to be cancerous.

Swollen lymph node completely gone down after total thyroidectomy
Hi guys, I had a full
thyroidectomy
a week ago and recovering at home. Ever since I've been having problems with my right thyroid (excessive pain & hypothyroidism), I have had a swollen lymph node under my chin (just under the center of my chin). It remained there for 9 months.

5 days post full thyroidectomy op
Hi guys! Just wanted to give you an update which might come in handy for some of you in the future. Well, I woke up Saturday morning (2 days after surgery) with a very bad chesty cough and thick green phlegm. I immediately thought of chest infection following general anaesthetic, which is apparently

My experience 48 hours post full thyroidectomy
This is the important bit after a
thyroidectomy
. I got the results 3 hours later and it came back as slightly low. I was also seen by a group of doctors including a consultant and ward sister.

Bashimotos and pregnancy
My brother has recently had a sub
thyroidectomy
due to a goitre. My daughter has had 5 miscarriages, last one being ectopic. Tests haven't found a cause. Should she go to doctors and ask to be tested for Hashis?

Can It Not Ever Get Better?
I had a non-cancerous total
Thyroidectomy
on July 12, 2016 in Nashville, Tennessee USA. So what am I doing on a UK Support Group site? There is no such animal here at all. There is a ton of support and accurate knowledge here. I'm grateful, but a bit concerned.
