Who has told you that your thyroid has grown back and how was that conclusion arrived at? Why are they not monitoring / testing your thyroid functioning accordingly? Are you currently taking replacement hormones, if so at what dose. When you were tested 6 months ago, was that before or since the thyroid had been noticed growing back, and what were your results & their ranges?
My doctor told me it had grown back when she saw ultrasound results which was 3 months ago it also I have had pain and tightness in the last 3 months. I’m on 100mcg of thyroxine 5 days a week and 150mcg 2 days a week from memory my free T3 was 3 my free t4 was 21( below 18 is normal)and my reverse T3 was 499 my tsh was 1.2 can’t remember the rest off ranges. I missed my last Endocronligist appointment due to a hospital stay I’m starting to think all the scans the gave me when I was unconscious started the process of it growing back.
