I had a total thyroidectomy for Graves’ disease 7 weeks ago and just had my blood results back. These are TSH 0.12 (0.35-4.94) and T4 12.7 (9.01-19.05). I’m on 100mg Leveothyroxine and feel really tired especially in the afternoon. The surgeon has written to my GP and said these results are “perfect” and 100mg is correct. I feel better than I did before the thyroidectomy but don’t feel “perfect” as yet. Any advice would be gratefully received. (They don’t test for T3 so not sure what that is doing!)

What were you taking before your operation? FT4 isn't halfway even so I feel you should be having more. Having said that I've had an operation-not thyroid, 5 months ago and I'm just beginning to feel good again.
I think the shock and the anaesthetic can mess things up a bit anyway.
Not what you're looking for?
