Sometimes, when there is only a teeny little bit of thyroid

gland left, it can still secrete enough thyroid hormone to get you functioning

- and also, I cannot remember fully, I am sure I have heard that in some cases,

the thyroid can start to grow again, like the liver, but don't quote me on

that. What we would need to know is what your last thyroid function test

results were, and I mean TSH, free T4, free T3 and do you have antibodies to your

thyroid.

Ooooops a correction.

I posted:

I did manage to tell him that I feel like I am being strangled and he felt my

neck and will send me for a scan of my thyroid – I had this scan on Tuesday

and the radiologist said to me that he could see straight away why I am Hyperthyroid and suffering from symptoms. He then said

that when I had the RAI treatment that " they did a right number on

you " and gave me far too high a dose. Seemingly I have so little thyroid

left that he struggled to find it at all. I don't know what the implications of

this are and despite googling haven't managed to find much at all.

This should of course be Hypothyroid.
