Left thyroid out

[Loubelou1621]

Hi I've had my left side of thyroid out in July 2014 I've been to see endo for 6 months later and blood work is ok apart from being high but within range of antibodies but recently I've noticed right side really hurting has anybody had same problem with right side feeling spongy and sore also but I don't know if this is connected but my glands under my ears and chin are up more

Loubelou, it sounds like Hashimoto's is attacking your remaining thyroid but you should let your GP examine your throat in case you have an infection or virus making your other glands swell.

On antibodies for a cough but they've been up and down for months

Sorry antbotics

Loubelou, funny, I read antibodies as antibiotics. I suppose the brain puts it into context. If you're on Levothyroxine it may be worth having a blood test in case the antibiotics are interfering with absorption.

Loubelou I had my left side removed in February due to having a large goiter .Not on any Meds as was told everything was ok including my blood results but I'm feeling tired and no energy .Not due for another blood test till September.
