Gall Bladder polyps - relationship to possible thyroid issues

[JaneHo]

Anybody any experience with gall bladder polyps I have been told I have one (may need to get gallbladder removed), is this related to thyroid or vice versa? Brief history, recent left thyroid lobectomy to remove benign tumour - advised thyroid tests all in range, then diabetes type 2 scare but following HB1ac test given the all clear, have thyroid symptoms, extreme fatigue, slow healing acne, shaking, eye bags, bad sleeping pattern, itchy skin, right rib/back pain, swollen ankles, sore feet, brain fog, lack of concentration, unable to lose weight, lack of interest in life in general etc, etc. Any info gratefully received. thank you.

I think your GP should do a full thyroid function test again. Get a copy of your results, with the ranges, and post for comments. It does sound as if you have clinical symptoms. He should do more than the TSH.

I am due to get thyroid function tested again but had to wait a few weeks (6wks?) from last test, once I have it done I will repost my results, thanks for the reply.

Hi I was told I had polyps in my gall bladder 6 years ago, I was in a lot of pain and it kept reoccurring . It was getting to the point of taking it out, when my mother told me what a very old doctor told my father when he had the same problem.

I gave up pork altogether and two things happened, I haven't had one episode with my gall bladder since and I was able to loose weight.

Now I can't say it will work for everyone but it worth a try before surgery ( something to do with pork being fatty) . Hope this helps, it sure made my life better

I to have under active thyroid

I am on a waiting list so figure I have 12 weeks to research. I will post my test results once I get them the last lot were in range but I have to wait another few weeks before they will retest, thanks.
