Thyroidectomy
So just wondered if anybody who has had experience of
thyroidectomy
with any issues or complications could give me any advice about it and how the operation/recovery was and aftercare and conversion issues and how the NHS has treated them.

To Thyroidectomy or Not to Thyroidectomy
The surgeon at MGH has recommended total
thyroidectomy
. I cannot do radioactive iodine because I also have Graves' induced Thyroid Eye Disease. This has been a shit year. Currently, I feel okay but all my thyroid levels are completely NOT normal.

Post Thyroidectomy and a confused GP
I’m post RAI (2006) post
thyroidectomy
(March 2024) on 125 micrograms Levo daily. Pre
thyroidectomy
I was unmedicated as my tsh was nearly 0 and my T4 low ( my Endo did not know what I should take ) as my thyroid had regrown after RAI.

Thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter
I underwent a full
thyroidectomy
due to several big nodules. I have never been told whether it was due to Hashimoto or Graves… Is there any way to know at all?

statins/tsh
I had a total
thyroidectomy
20 years ago due to thyroid cancer, so my tsh levels are kept very low, usually 0.03 or sometimes even lower. As I have high cholesterol recently I was put on atorvastatin. Bloods were checked today and tsh has gone up to 2.75 though still in range.

Total thyroidectomy - anyone have a positive story ?
Hey everyone - I’m very nervous about having a total
thyroidectomy
in mid February. I have seen so many horror stories. Do any of you have an experience that didn’t turn sour ?

SSRIs
She is now 42 and has been told over several years that she needs a
thyroidectomy
, but refuses because of her lack of trust in the medical profession. Her symptoms are damaging her life and health, so some answers would be very much appreciated

Levothyroxine brands
Since the
thyroidectomy
I just keep gaining weight and am now at 73kgs. I know I do not overeat and eat as healthily as possible and exercise. Recent Medichecks showed all ok and that even my TSH had begun to register. I am on Accord Levo alternating daily 75 and 100 .

any secondary cancers after thyroidectomy?
I’m just wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with a secondary cancer - particularly renal or bladder - after having thyroid cancer. I have read the chances are raised but I can’t find out by how much. I’m currently undergoing investigation. thank you x
