Miserable all the time
Was hyperthyroid till I had my
thyroidectomy
in 2014. One month later gained 10 lb. 3 years later I have gained approximately 35 lb total. Can't seem to lose anything. Tired all the time and sometimes feel depressed. Cannot tolerate cold or heat. I have exasperated osteoarthritis on top of it.

National coverage of T3 Fiasco has alerted suffering patients on T4
She sought us out after suffering for decades on T4 only following
thyroidectomy
. Her doctors ignored her when she asked them why she had no energy.

Thyroidectomy and menopause test?
Tomorrow afternoon (thursday 23rd) I am having blood tests.. -TSH , Vitamin D. Is there any point asking for FSH to see where I am regarding menopause? I stopped taking POP the day of my op 7 weeks ago. No signs of a period. But my hormones will be all over the shop. Any advice? x

Anyone having these thyroidectomy issues?
I had a
thyroidectomy
a little over a year ago and along with the
thyroidectomy
Ive gained 30 pounds and inherited achilles tendonitis and extensor tendonitist (tops and back of both feet) and both of these issues will trade places, its seems every few weeks.

Quick synthroid question
I ask only because I was place on 112mcg after my
thyroidectomy
and Im not sure how they determined this dose I thought endo said based on my weight but I really disliked my first endo so much I glazed over when ever he opened his trapped. Yes this endo still makes me cringe. Thanks

Searching for alterative to <redacted website>
I had a
Thyroidectomy
in my thirties. I have repeatedly and successfully been supplied with Erfa Thyroid from <redacted website> when my primary healthcare docs haven´t had the guts to renew my prescription. Sadly, I noticed this pharmacy now were out of stock.

Starting T3 tomorrow. Advice?
Hi all, I saw the endocrinologist today for the first time and since I have had a
thyroidectomy
he agreed to give me T3 with my T4 as I am suffering more and more from hypothyroidism. I was on 150mg of levothyroxin up to today. Tomorrow I am to take 100mg of levo and 20mg of T3.

POST THRYOIDECTOMY FIRST BLOOD RESULTS ~ PLEASE HELP!
I had a total
thyroidectomy
6 weeks ago and have just picked up a copy of my blood results. I understood that it was to be a "full blood count" and thought it would include T3 and T4 but I have only had TSH levels tested!

Nocturnal high blood pressure after thyroidectomy
My mom has a total
thyroidectomy
done about 6 weeks ago. About 3 weeks ago, she seems to start having nocturnal high blood pressure on and off. BP would be 150-170 / 95-110. I like to ask if this can be caused by high TSH and low FT3?

15yr old girl with Hashimotos, and now cancer and complete thyroidectomy
Hello folks, My last posts were when my daughter was going to have her first surgery but things have moved on dramatically since then and I wondered if anyone knows if when she has her entire thyroid removed she will still have the autoimmune response somewhere else in her body. Reading the posts here

Need a little help with Test results - Hypothyroid
I have Graves Disease and had a full
Thyroidectomy
around 3 years ago. Since then I have struggled very badly with energy levels although the Dr says my results are normal. I was Vit D deficient orginally but had a loading dose and maintain with 10,000iu a day.

Is it just me or do Endos lack sympathy
Fast forward to 1 year post
thyroidectomy
and the 3 year nightmare was a walk in the park compaired to having no thyroid and constantly being told my levels are "PERFECT" 30 pound weight gain in 1 year is "PERFECT" and having feet pains that are so bad I cry because I can't walk or stand, lets not forget

Graves' Disease and heart spasms?
I was on block and replace and then came off but it came back so now I am just on carbimazole with a total
thyroidectomy
planned for next year, after my wedding. I have just switched from 10mg to 5mg (Carbimazole) daily within the past week and I've really felt it.

Anxiety?
I had a total
thyroidectomy
10 years ago due to thyroid cancer. I have been taking 1000mg of levothyroxine for the last 8 years. 3 months ago my endocrinologist reduced my dosage to 800mg per week as she said my level was too high .

Depression after total thyroidectomy
Hi I'm 47 and I had a TT 6 wks ago due to a large multi nodular goiter. No previous thyroid problems. Had my levels checked 2 wks after op and they were fine apparently. Consultant told me I should be fine and back at work after 2 wks. I still haven't gone back to work yet as I'm so unmotivated and depressed

TSH suppressed, but feeling really well, Docs threatening to reduce my doses!
I am new to this forum, and have been hypo since 2005 following total
thyroidectomy
for Graves. I have been feeling really well recently, since reintroducing T3 (had to change GP). Currently taking 200mcg levothyroxine, and 10mcg t3 in a divided dose.
