Why are you considering total thyroidectomy? Why did you have a partial thyroidectomy in the first place? I don't think Endo's know a thing about thyroid health. Were they specialists in thyroid care or diabetes specialists?
Hi, I don't know if they were thyroid or diabetes consultants. They knew their stuff but unable to diagnosed as bloods rejected by lab.
I've been demented with thyroid symptoms for four years.
I had tumours so they removed that side. Very under treated until 42. Scalp and lashes are over treated which match bloods. Brows are under treated which also shows in drop in blood.
There has been no balance. My hair won't take much more as it doesn't grow back.
I swing from over to under with change of 25 ml within a few weeks. Used to be months.
You can do a google search to find out what your consultants' specialities were. Did they check your vitamin levels including vitamin D, folate, ferritin, B12 and calcium? If so, have you got or can you get a copy of your results? Low vitamin D is common in people with thyroid cancer and in people with other kinds of thyroid disease. Were the tumours cancerous? Did you lose parathyroid glands?
Do you always have the same brand of thyroid hormone or is the brand swapped at each refill?
