Does anyone have long term remission from GRAVES DISEASE?
RAI and
thyroidectomy
are neither great choices for Graves’ disease as Graves’ disease is in the blood and I feel the antibodies will attack my eyes if my thyroid is not available to them..

NDT dose, no thyroid gland
I had graves disease and total
thyroidectomy
, so I’m dependent on my daily dose. I am interested to know the dosages for other members who have no thyroid gland and are on NDT. I’m currently taking 2.5 grains, but this seems low compared to what I see on some other posts. I am 5’8, 160 lbs.

Post thyroidectomy
I’ve had a
thyroidectomy
on Monday due to Graves’ disease. It went well, I’m on calcium for the next two weeks and seeing the surgeon to review calcium in 2 weeks time. I was given 75 mg Levothyroxine but no mention of when I should do the thyroid hormone tests to see what the right dose is.

Help on Borderline Low Serum Cortisol test
Dr said it could be that I was left un treated after Sub
Thyroidectomy
for years then left under medicated for years, Stress, which I am not really under lately or could be Auto immune or maybe pituatary Gland,, which My TSH is stuck at 0.004 so that may explain that..

Eight years battling Graves’ disease and batting off endocrinologists willing me to have RAI or
thyroidectomy

1st blood test post TT seems to be just for TSH shouldn’t it be for T4 & T3?
Hello again, I posted couple of days ago asking how soon I’ll be tested post
thyroidectomy
& you said 6-8 weeks. I have received a blood test form for that now but it seems to be only for TSH?? How can they fine tune the dose without T4 & T3? Thanks in advance.

Please Help with blood test results as I’m feeling unwell
Hi, I have secondary hypothyroidism and have had total
thyroidectomy
two years ago. Have only been prescribed T4 currently on 125 T4.. My GP has written twice to the Endo and he has refused to see me on both occasions as my T4 and TSH are considered normal.

Thyroid medication
Hi Everyone I had a total
thyroidectomy
about 10 yrs ago and have been taking Synthroid (brand) since my surgery. For the most part I was feeling okay but within the past 8 months I have been feeling lousy with rapid weight gain.

How to get best results when taking blood test.
I have had a total
thyroidectomy
, this was done in 2015. I have since been on 100mg of levothyroxine. I wake up in pain everyday as my joints hurt. I saw the GP who is sending me for blood tests.

Paper showing long delay of TSH change after thyroidectomy for Graves disease - TSH unsuitable for following up.
This new paper available in full will help those having had
thyroidectomy
for Graves disease to realise that changes in TSH are very slow to happen. Also will help patients to explain to doctors and endocrinologists what to expect re TSH. F
