Thyroid supplements?
I have had a total
thyroidectomy
and am wondering if it is worth taking an all-in-one thyroid supplement. What do you think? Please advise.😊

Thyroidectomy
So just wondered if anybody who has had experience of
thyroidectomy
with any issues or complications could give me any advice about it and how the operation/recovery was and aftercare and conversion issues and how the NHS has treated them.

To Thyroidectomy or Not to Thyroidectomy
The surgeon at MGH has recommended total
thyroidectomy
. I cannot do radioactive iodine because I also have Graves' induced Thyroid Eye Disease. This has been a shit year. Currently, I feel okay but all my thyroid levels are completely NOT normal.

Post Thyroidectomy and a confused GP
I’m post RAI (2006) post
thyroidectomy
(March 2024) on 125 micrograms Levo daily. Pre
thyroidectomy
I was unmedicated as my tsh was nearly 0 and my T4 low ( my Endo did not know what I should take ) as my thyroid had regrown after RAI.

Thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter
I underwent a full
thyroidectomy
due to several big nodules. I have never been told whether it was due to Hashimoto or Graves… Is there any way to know at all?

Vocal chord damage in thyroidectomy
Hi all, I had a total
Thyroidectomy
2 days ago which was a difficult op. My thyroid had grown so large it was pressing on my larynx, growing downwards to my chest, and growing round the back of my oesophagus.

statins/tsh
I had a total
thyroidectomy
20 years ago due to thyroid cancer, so my tsh levels are kept very low, usually 0.03 or sometimes even lower. As I have high cholesterol recently I was put on atorvastatin. Bloods were checked today and tsh has gone up to 2.75 though still in range.
