It's Thyroid Awareness Week!
It started up as Thyroid Action Group way back in 1998 after my
thyroidectomy
and it has become my passion.

Multinodular Goitre
Im being told i might just have to do a
thyroidectomy
. What i can't understand, is being Euthyroid, yet the growth. ..and the nodules. Can anyone please help me out here. Lastly, the
thyroidectomy
shouldn't be total, right?

Hashimoto disease
I have just had a
thyroidectomy
for thyroid cancer and have learned that I have Hashimoto's Disease. I will have to have radioactive iodine treatment and was wondering if anybody can tell me of any experiences they have had with this.

My WBC is low due to Carbimazole and my Endo suggests Thyroidectomy if no improvement, any advice?
When I spoke to my endocrinologist he said if I wasn't suited to the Carbimazole then I would have to have an urgent
thyroidectomy
because my levels are too high.

Endocrinology Appointment.

thyroidectomy
seven years ago, today I have received a letter diagnosing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and a prescription for Amytriptyline in the letter he has written 'she obviously does have a thyroid problem

Has anyone else had a low white blood cell count when on Carbimazole?
What are the alternatives to Carbimazole, my Endocrinologist mentioned a
thyroidectomy
but I fear that might be too drastic? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks, Ashley x

Why measure TSH when you have no thyroid.
(As a result of a
thyroidectomy
because of Th Cancer). TSH is the feedback loop between the thyroid gland and the pituitary but if you have no thyroid to respond to it, why measure it? T4 is usually measured at the same time as TSH and it should be that value which tells you if you need more T4.

Panic attack or strangulation feeling?
"The feeling of strangulation may be due to high TSH stimulating and inflaming remnant thyroid left after
thyroidectomy
." I still have my thyroid but I get the strangulation feeling and it feels like I'm trying to breathe with a t-shirt over my throat if you know what I mean.

Update on Me, Cancer, and PBC
I had my Total
Thyroidectomy
on June 11 and the surgery went pretty well. I didn't have to have the radiation treatment as my tumor was small and it didn't call for it. I've had some stress getting used to my thyroid meds, but seem to be doing ok.

'Normal' levels
I have been told I need a patrial
thyroidectomy
due to nodules and a large recurring cyst. Biopsy on fna was inconclusive. I have been having symptoms for several years, my gp sends me for blood tests. They all come back in normal range.

Hello, I'm new to HealthUnlocked, just been diagnosed with Graves Disease.
I'm a bit unsure of the other treatment options, the Radioiodine sounds a bit scary and having a
thyroidectomy
seems a bit extreme. I haven't explored these options in any great detail though.
