Reading these responses and wondered if you have Hashimotos but your thyroid is removed, are there still possible ongoing symptoms/issues like gut absorption, brain fog, etc.?

@fairn I’ve often wondered the same thing! I even asked my doctor;. He said as long as my thyroid was even partially functioning it would be crazy to take it out. When I tried to explain that I was thinking since it was working but not in any consistent manner I thought it made sense to take it out.

@fairn
If thyroid is removed, then hormone replacement therapy is needed. Synthroid is commonly prescribed. Otherwise, there will be symptoms of hypothyroidism, like gut malabsorption, fatigue, brain fog, etc.
