Hi, I had a hemi thyroidectomy nearly 2 years ago as I had a large goitre which was making it hard for me to breathe. Over the last 6 months things have gone down hill and now my hair has got really thin and is falling out, I have a 'lump' in my throat when I swallow and my skin is so dry it's really sore. Plus I'm feeling really low. I've got an appointment with the GP next week and want to be prepared! I had some tests about 4 weeks ago (Medichecks) and they showed:
TSH: 4.82 (0.27-4.20)
Free T3: 3.94 (3.10-6.80)
Free Thyroxine: 13.300 (12.00-22.00)
Thyroglobulin anti: <10 (0.00-115.00)
Thyroid peroxidase: <9.0 (0.00-34.00)
I'm a bit confused! Can anyone help?
