How long after thyroidectomy did you start to feel “normal”?

Which endocrinologist do you see?

@donnajones
I had thyroid surgery several months ago, and have not felt any ill effects other than scar on my neck. In the next month they will run blood tests and I'll find out if I need to start taking any meds.

I saw Dr. Gorospe , now retired.

NP has both T3 and T4. I feel much better on NP and synthroid. Synthroid only has T4.

Welcome, @livi05. Calibrating the right dosage of thyroid medication is a journey. Have you talked to your endocrinologist about your weight and workout performance? What kind of workouts do you do?

Of course your exactly right since posting I have felt a little better finally got my numbers in a healthy range! Working closely with Endos because yes I do workout 5-6 days a week cardio and weights thanks for the reply !

I am 6 days postop TT (total thyroidectomy) papillary. Have been given 100mg Levothyroxine daily. Feeling terribly dizzy after taking med. Absolutely no appetite and losing weight. Blurry vision, sweating and terrible insomnia. Has anyone experienced this? I see my GP tomorrow for follow up.

So sorry to hear. Hang in there. You do need a synthetic hormone, forever. Hopefully the medical team will figure out the reason you are having these symptoms.
I was fine, except sore throat after my TT. I also had neck dissection for 2 lymph nodes.
You should be informed of the extent of the surgery. Sometimes with a TT, they also excise lymph nodes and more. Review your post op report before you meet with the doctor.
