I am taking Tapazole preop for thyroidectomy as my T3 was elevated x2 normal range. After only 10 days at 10 mg bid it is back within the normal range and Sx is scheduled. I didn't have a hyperthyroid symptom at all. TSH is totally supressed (still is) and T4 within normal range all along. I have a very large predominant solid nodule that has inhomogenous distribution with a photopenic area and psammomamous calcification noted throughout, which sprouted in a three week span. I am feeling very tired, my feet are freezing but sweating and I am very foggy (per say). My salivary gland is very inflammed also. My question is.....is it normal for the T3 to come down that quickly? From what I read..it usually takes about 4-6 weeks?? Immuno assays are also normal.
Thanks in advance!!
