Morning K3aren,

welcome to the forum, i had my left side removed too just 4 weeks ago, i am sorry about your headaches, i haven't suffered with those. Maybe have a chat with your GP about it? my nodule was 5.5 cm, quite large lol, i went for my check up and it's all good as afar as nodule was concerned. Hopefully it will be the same for you have you had your check up appointment yet? if not you should get that soon, in 3 weeks time i will have thyroid blood tests, so i am hoping those too will be ok!

Let me know how you get on, it's always good to share with someone who knows what you are going through take care and i wish you all the best xxxx

Hi K3aren. not sure what Fna is sorry? i am not on any treatment at the moment, at my check up my doctor said if my thyroid levels are low then i will start thyroid replacement but i have to wait 3 weeks for that as he said levels can be quite low after operation.. xxx

Just a thought, did you have a general anaesthetic using nitrous oxide? Nitrous oxide can inactivate B12 and low B12/deficiency can cause headaches.
