Hashimotos, labyrinthitis and tinnitus
Hi I had
thyroidectomy
41 years ago and been on Levothyroxine since. Had (for the first time ever) Labyrinthitis at end of Jan (confirmed by GP) and took the meds given for a week then stopped as improved enough not to fall over!

Mayo Clinic studies B12 def, are very interesting!!
Her history included Graves disease, for which she had undergone
thyroidectomy
several years earlier and was subsequently prescribed levothyroxine. We were invited for consultation because of slightly elevated free thyroxine levels. The patient had no symptoms suggestive of thyrotoxicosis.

Struggling after total thyroidectomy 3 years ago and not feeling great since
Hi...I am new to this site but am wanting to hear other people's stories and experiences since having a total
thyroidectomy
. Basically from a few weeks after having the operation I started putting on weight. I have never really felt myself since removal. I can feel very down at times.

Hemithyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy?
I am only being offer a hemi at this point - could the consultant consider a complete
thyroidectomy
if I asked him to, since it looks as if there are "several" nodules and they're only going to grow and develop further? Many thanks for your input!

Thyroidectomy
Hi I am due to have my thyroid removed as I have a multi nodular goitre. I do not have any issues with my thyroid function so am just wondering whether living with thyroxine is as simple as just taking a tablet , as my surgeon says?

Where was I?
My mind drifts back to 2014, three years after a total
thyroidectomy
. Doctors were still fiddling and faffing about trying to sort out my thyroid levels and I was undermedicated for a long time. I hadn’t yet joined this forum and had no idea what was happening to me.

Is my TSH too low
In brief partial
Thyroidectomy
in 1995 & stable for many years on 75mcgs of Thyroxine till TSH started creeping up & up regularly over 5. After lots of arguments with my GP I eventually managed to see an NHS Endocrinologist in 2022 who told me I had been under medicated for many years.

constipation after thyroidectomy
hi all, I haven’t been on in a while but wanted to know if anyone else has had a problem with constipation after total
thyroidectomy
? It’s been over a year since my op and it’s not got any better. I’ve contacted my doctor and they’re going to see me on Tuesday but wanted to see if this is common…

The Great Thyroid Experiment
I Haven’t been able to lose anymore…I have come to the conclusion that my diet isn’t the huge factor to my
thyroidectomy
weight gain and that definitely other things are in play…. Still Im happy with this small amount. Labs: Jan 2023 “BEFORE” adding the extra meds and diet changes.

Thyroidectomy
Hi there, I would really appreciate some advice from anyone that has had Graves disease/hyperthyroidism and had a total
Thyroidectomy
. I tried RAI back in Sept 2021 but it was unsuccessful and then caused TED.

Life following total thyroidectomy - what have you learned?
Last year I had a total
thyroidectomy
and many lymph nodes removed from my neck. In January this year I completed the final stage of radiotherapy and am now trying to piece my life back together.

1st BLOOD RESULT ON NDT
I had a full
thyroidectomy
on 20 December 2022. I tried levothyroxine and was struggling to convert. I went on to NDT 7 weeks ago. I did my blood test this morning fasting and drinking only water at 7.30am, and I withheld the NDT for 24 hours.
