Hello Everyone

I am new to this group, so I'm hoping to get some advice on what I'm going through. It has been way over a year since I had TT. My thyroid was removed due to toxic nodules, no cancer, thank God. However, I am now dealing with pain in my neck and throat, it also feels as if there is some swelling above my throat. My face is constantly flushing, my joints hurt , my breast hurts and I have been constipated for many years and can't seem to find relief anymore. I have gained weight after losing over 30 pounds right after I had my surgery. I really don't know where to turn, Doctors now days don't show much concern, especially if you have more then one illness. I will be grateful for any advice given.

As you had your thyroid removed, are you prescribed levothyroxine?

What are your current test results with reference ranges, for

TSH

FT3

Thyroid antibodies

Vit D

B12

Hi. thanks for responding, I was put on 125mg of levothyroxine and I have been on that dose every since my surgery. I haven't had any blood work done in a while, however,I will be meeting with a NP on November 15th so I'm hoping she will be able to help me. I know that my vitamin D level is low and I'm suppose to take vitamin d3 but cannot tolerate due to the chronic constipation, it only makes it worst. I also know that my calcium level ranges in the 10 category, from what I have learned I'm thinking that it is too high for my age.
