Daughter feels rubbish
My 17 year old daughter has hashimotos and had a total
thyroidectomy
at the beginning of this year as her thyroid was so full of cysts that she couldn't swallow properly and was short of breath with little exertion. She did feel much better post op but now complains of feeling unwell again.

Thyroidectomy advice
Met with surgeon who has recommended surgery for 3.5cm nodule on my thyroid. Been having difficulty swallowing and constant feeling of pressure in my throat. My blood results are euthyroid despite suffering hypothyroid symptoms. I'm nervous about having surgery. If I feel rubbish now with normal thyroid

Hi Everyone
I had Thyroid Cancer 10 years ago which ended with a complete
thyroidectomy
and radiation therapy. Though I have lived with this condition for a long time, my knowledge is lacking somewhat and I hope to educate myself.

Reflux issues after surgery
I had a partial
thyroidectomy
6 days ago and I am having a couple of issues that are worrying me, that I'm hoping others have experienced and can tell me if it's normal or not? I've been trying to get hold of my hospital ward all day (no luck) and the earliest GP appt is over a week away.

Scar tissue result from thyroidectomy 20 yrs ago
Its been 20 years since I had right thyroid lobe removed now having hard time swallowing and appears I have quite a build up of scar tissue that could be the cause, anyone had this experience and how can I get it corrected? Surgeon is no longer active.

Hair loss
Hi..I had total
thyroidectomy
in 2006, and am on levothyroxine this has recently been reduced to 100g from 125mg as I told my doctor I am suffering from hair loss...I tried the reduced dose for 10 days and there is no improvement, so I went back and he basically told me he doesn't know what to say!

Thyroidectomy for hypothyroidism
Hello. I have Hasimoto's Diease. I have seen a endocrinologist surgeon here in California who is recommending my thryoid removed to help treat the auto immunity diease. Has anyone had their thyroid removed for hypothyroidism? If so, how are you feeling? Any advice?

Different sort of pain!
Don't know if it's the pmr, the pred or levothyroxine as I had total
thyroidectomy
10 years ago due to cancer in thyroid gland. The only change is that I started exercise on GP referral at the gym 2 weeks ago, but have gone very gently and only done some walking and cycling exercises.

Graves disease and surgery for lump
Surgeon has suggested either hemithyroidectory or total
thyroidectomy
. I will therefore be hypo if I have total
thyroidectomy
. If not I could be looking at further surgery if block & replace doesn't work (won't consider R iodine as I don't want to be away from kids).
