it’s been nearly 6 weeks since Thyroidectomy. My face and throat feel puffy and swollen. Doesn’t hurt. Just uncomfortable when I put chin down.

Hello sorry you feel that way i am a Type 1 Diabetic but also have Hypothyroidism, it took them 10 years to diagnose me, i was doing blood test's and my Thyroid would come back as abnormal but the GP's would just ignore it they never once phone or written a letter to tell me about this, anyway i found out of a Locum and he said he would try and get me to see a specialtist but the GP's and my surgery blocked him saying i do not need to see one, but i disagreed and changed Doctors Surgery's and with 0ne blood test done with the new GP he said i have Hypothyroidism and it can be in connection to your Type 1 Diabete's so right away he started me on Levothroxine, my older Brother is a Type 1 Diabeteic and also has Hypothyroidism, i feel like sh*t evey day aniexty hot sweats mood swings no energy aching bones and joints its terribel.
