vitamin B12
Hi, I had a total
thyroidectomy
7 years ago, I have fibromyalgia and CFS but recently my fatigue and joint aches and pains are unbearable. My most recent blood tests show my Serum Vitamin B12 to be at 282ng/l would you say this is on the low side?

Low TSH
I had a partial
Thyroidectomy
in 1995. I’ve been on Thyroxine since then & been stable for years on 75mcgs. Briefly I saw Endocrine last year & was informed I had been undermedicated for several years.I had a dose increase to 100mcg then again 8 weeks later to 125mcgs.

I am very rude, found my posts and upon checking haven't responded to peeps Pennyannie and SeasideSusie
Asked why I had
Thyroidectomy
, never given a definitive answer, don't remember being given blood results, apparently they queried colloid goitre, mentioned possibility of cancer, had a fine needle aspiration, fine needle my hairy arse.

Your Advice Needed for Dr appointment
I had
thyroidectomy
when it grew so large and into my chest that it affected my breathing. All = <0.1 miu/L (0.3 - 4 miu/L) So would I be right in thinking that the TSH is not necessarily relevant to my dosage and how I'm feeling.

The good doctor
I told him that I’d quite like to have my own brain returned as it had been ‘rewired’ by psychotropic drugs several times since my total
thyroidectomy
for various complaints which, prior to the TT, I’d never had. He said that he would wean me off Gabapentin very slowly and wrote out a schedule.

I had an under active thyroid, been taking 50mg levothyroxine for 1 yr, 3 blood tests since all show perfect levels but I can’t lose weight.
Even though my blood tests show that I’m on the correct dose of Levothyroxine since having a hemi-
thyroidectomy
, I cannot shift the pounds, even though I am eating very few calories every day.

is this ok
I had a total
thyroidectomy
11 years ago and I’m on 175 levothyroxine and 60 liothyronine but I feel bad and looked at my bloods and they look low on T3 considering how much I take….. what do you think?

Parathyroid identification by autofluorescence – preliminary report on five cases of surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism
[/i] Open Access: https://bmcsurg.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12893-019-0590-9 I wonder if it could be exploited during
thyroidectomy
to help avoid damage to parathyroids?

TSH Levels 2 Year Post Thyroidectomy
Hi everyone, I had a total
thyroidectomy
in February 2021. I have not felt well for the past 6+ months and getting worse. I went through a divorce from a 27-year marriage as well as possibly being in menopause so I take these factors into account with my symptoms.

Multinodular goiter
Although I have no pain, nor swallowing or breathing problems, I have been proposed a subtotal
thyroidectomy
immediately, cause a scintigraphy showed that the lower part of my thyroid doesn't absorb enough radioactivity (no cold nodules though) to be treated with it.

Advice please, 2 years after Thyroidectomy
since
Thyroidectomy
in May 2021 i have been taking levothyroxine 100mcg. I thought TSH was the important figure but as i have found on this page, T3 and T4 are the important hormone figures. the Doctor would just tell me the blood test result - was fine. and only ever tested TSH.

Looking for T3 online again
Hi all, I’m having to have the T3/T4 battle with Endo’s again after 13 years on T3 only (post cancer
thyroidectomy
). 3rd time it’s been withdrawn by GP - 4th time I will have to go through the whole, sorry thyroid hormone replacement saga with an Endo.

TSH &T4 levels after total thyroidectomy
I’m 6 years post TT and generally all TSH and T4 tests have been broadly in range and I’ve been feeling quite good. This time(6 months ) things seem different and I wonder if others have the same experience? TSH has reduced below normal levels and T4 are normal but my symptoms are as if TSH is too high

Do I risk taking T3 medication?
I had a double
thyroidectomy
15 years ago and I have managed quite well on an optimal dose of 112mcg of Mercury Pharma levothyroxine per day. After the second operation I was told that the crucial test results would now be T3 and T4 instead of T4 and TSH .

liothyronine supply
I have been on liothyronine for 10 years now following a
thyroidectomy
due to Graves’ disease. My local health trust are happy to prescribe this medication for me - but currently are unable to source a supply. Is anyone else in this situation?
