Predicting your optimum thyroxine (T4) dose
This study was based in a patient population following
thyroidectomy
but I think that if you have been on thyroxine for a long time for Hashimoto;s disease you can pretty well assume that your residual thyroid gland has very little remaining activity. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3658157

Is a TSH only test sufficient to give a true reflection on how your doing on Levothyroxine
Total
thyroidectomy
done and pretty straight forward although i had to stay an extra night as my gland released excess hormones during the op so hence i was still not made aware that i had Graves disease until my follow up appointment 3 months later.

Advice about whether to continue T4/T3
After 16 years on 100mcg Levothyroxine (I had a partial
thyroidectomy
) my endo let me try 75mcg Levo and 10mcg T3. I’ve been on them for one year, but to be honest didn’t really notice any change in symptoms – mainly getting abnormally cold when temp. drops and also easily overheating.

So they cancelled my Thyroidectomy :(
All prepared to go into hospital early Thursday morning for total
Thyroidectomy
. Received a phone call this evening to advise they have cancelled the operation as they don't have enough theatre staff 😡 So fed up, been waiting forever and stressing myself out.

Thyroidectomy
I had my thyroid gland removed about 12 years ago. I had been diagnosed with Graves' disease. My symptoms were very severe and wide reaching. I now take 150mgs thyroxine a day.

Opinions on total thyroidectomy
Hiyah everyone again. Sorry to ask questions again but I need to know what effect it will have on my eyes. I've received a letter from my specialist today and a copy of the letter to surgeon. It explain that I need to be seen urgently as I can't take iodine because my results are too high. My eyes

Help please
I had a total
thyroidectomy
in 2010 and since then I've been taking 100mcg thyroxin every day. It's never changed and I've always felt fine.

Terrified of thyroid operation next week
Hello, I am having a partial
thyroidectomy
next week and am absolutely terrified. I'm already having nightmares about it and just very scared about something going wrong. I've only ever had one general anaesthetic before and am also scared about that.

Thyroidectomy success stories
Hi all, Op to remove all of my thyroid gland scheduled for early September. I'm a little nervous about surgery and how I will feel after. I'm not on Levo at the moment as my blood results are good. However, the large nodule which is continuing to grow has to come out. Unfortunately they cannot save

Thyroid goiter the size of a melon
protruding downwards, which is pushing over her windpipe and needs removal in the near months ahead or it will start affecting the breathing, but as it's going into the chest cavity, its looking likely the sternum will need to be split for access, so not a more straightforward

High ferritin in blood test
Background I had a Total
Thyroidectomy
16 years ago, removed as the thyroid was enlarged, was hyper and had largish goitre on the side of my neck. At the time there was not a lot of Internet access, never mind info and awareness!
