Are you on thyroid medication? What kind? Seems like you should be

with symptoms you describe. Auto-immune diesease can cause growth of

tissue in the thyroid.

Hi, Sue, welcome!

Can you post the results to your last labs, with the ranges? Do you know if they have checked you for Hashi's?

If it happens that you have Hashi's it could still be affecting your remaining lobe, so it's worth your while to find out, for sure, if it contributed to your nodule.

You also need to be tested for more than just the TSH... they need to check your Free T4 and Free T3 to determine how much hormone your remaining gland is producing and how efficient your body is able to do the conversion...

The first step for you is to make sure that your body has adequate hormone, either from your remaining gland or with supplementation. Once that is under control then you can worry about weight loss.

In the mean time, one of the best things that you can do for your weight health is to eat small nutritious meals all through the day, starting with breakfast.

This is a start.. time to get going on this, right!

Hi Tish

Not yet! Just had the follow-up blood test a couple days ago to

determine whether I need meds. The symptoms I was sharing were for

quite some time before the surgery... I already feel much better but

they will decide on meds depending on test results.

Hi and thanks for the encouragement. Yes, I do know they need

to test me for other hormone levels as well. And yes, Hashi's is one

of the things they want to keep an eye out for... as well as calcium

levels, hormones, etc. I don't have the lab results since the

surgery yet... will probably get them tomorrow or so.

Thanks for advice about the meals... fortunately I AM in the habit

of eating breakfast. But yah now I am not going to have any excuses

for not losing weight huh? We were laughing at work that we

always like to SAY we have a thyroid problem and that well... NOW I

really DO and I can prove it!!

I return to work on Monday, and it will be easier to avoid the

munchies than it has been slugging out around the house these past

few weeks.

Hi Fiesty!!! Thanks for the welcome.

If you are from this area you will know what I mean then when I say

I am actually in the Bothell area.

I have been kind of GLAD to find there is a REASON for what I've

been going through the past couple years... sluggish and losing

interest in things, etc... SO unlike me!! Did others of you feel as

if you were turning into basket cases before you were diagnosed?

The doctor will be monitoring me for Hashimotos so remains to be

seen about the meds. I feel a real confidence in my surgeon. I went

to him for something else (a small breast lump) and he immediately

noticed the swollen thyroid. Can't believe I hadn't noticed it, as

it was pretty large! Guess I don't stare at my neck much!

Basket case is an understatement for me. My doc was going to admit me

to the hospital for a few days of " Relazxation " right before they

figured out what was wrong. I could not drive a car without wanting

to ram the person in front of me just because their car was too big

for me to see when the light changed. I couldn't close a door unless

it was slammed and followed by hysterical crying. My poor husband! I

am MUCH better now. Don't worry. Unfortunatley it just takes a little

time to sort out the meds and get them in your system, but you will

feel better. There is hope Now I can tell by my moods and apetite

if my Synthroid levels need to be changed. Thanks to all the lovely

people on this board today I will be checking out a few other options

and tests. I have realized that the things I sometimes go through

like adult acne, rigid nails, dry hair are related to my thyroid

levels. Since I had a total thyroidectomy I have to rely soley on

pills to correct these problems I don't know anything about

Hashimoto's, but I hope some of this helps.

I know I was a basket case! Suicidal depression with hospitaliztions for

years, paranoia.................rages

Doing so much better now than I ever was on anti-depressants. I even wrote

an article that was published iin a depression newsletter on my battles

with

depression and the relationship it has to thyroid disease.I reposted it

here

a few weeks ago, and it will be on the thyrophoenix.com website.Bi-polar

disease is also very much connected with thyroid disease, as is anxiety and

eating disorders.There is also some thinking Alzheimer's is related.

Hi Deanna

Thanks! This is SO encouraging! I sure know what you mean about the

hysterical crying! My poor best friend was " catching " so many of my

tears that she encouraged me to go to a counselor, which I did...

but when I tried to say what was wrong the answer was... was

NOTHING!!! I have a great job, wonderful friends, great church

and relationships, nice apartment, etc. This high emotion stuff is

not like me... normally I am pretty steady and content.

I guess I am fortunate that I have very oily hair... but I HAVE

noticed that it is not nearly as shiny and healthy looking as it

used to be. But I have found myself to have a tendency to just " hole

up " and not be very social, though generally I am very outgoing and

like people. I am hoping some of these tendencies will go away and

actually since the surgery I already don't feel a lot of

the " sluggishness " of before.

This sounds like a great group... hopefully I will not only receive

info but be able to encourage others who are going through it too.

It's GREAT to find people who really understand!!
