After total thyroidectomy you couldn’t possibly manage even a week without daily replacement thyroid hormones

Suggest you find a different endocrinologist

Are you in U.K.

Hello again Raoudha :

Are you still in the Caribbean ?

I can't see this being a viable option - without a thyroid and without any form of thyroid hormone replacement for a month ?

Did your doctor suggest you do the LID diet prior to scan? You can also take a shot (can’t recall the name) if my memory serves me you still have to be off meds maybe not as long with the injection …. Lid diet is important for scan and Facebook has excellent group (LID DIET).

Nuclear scan does require us to be off our meds because you have to swallow a radiation pill so the scan can pick up.
