What sort of life can I live after a thyroidectomy?

[Clareee555]

I’ve had a thyroidectomy (a couple of months ago, because of papillary thyroid cancer) and I’m finding it hard to adjust. I have lots of questions- what if I want to get pregnant? What are the implications of this without a thyroid?
I’m feeling really crappy in general but my doctor doesn’t believe me because I’m “still in range”.

I feel like I’m going insane with all the questions.

Help!!

There is no reason to be unable to live a normal life after a Thyroidectomy.  The most important part of that is to find a good thyroid doctor that diagnoses and treats you clinically (based on symptoms) rather than just based on TSH or other biochemical test results.  We want to help, so please tell us about the symptoms you have and also post your thyroid related test results and their reference ranges shown on the lab report.

Hi Clareee555
I had thyroidectomy (Pap Cancer) 10/2016 and I totally feel for you it's a hard road to travel as you will find not too many of us on forums. My Endos have told me from day one your numbers are PERFECT gosh I hate that word and I hear it often although I always feel wrong at some point I gotta tell myself I gotta move on stressing over these freaky body things are going to drive me nutz and my life is going to fly by without me :( ....oh well I still get angry and concerned with my health as my fit body turned into a 35 pound over weight pain ridden lady.  For pregnancy I can't talk about that should speak to your Endo and Gyno.

If you need to vent or just talk send me message ....your not alone although at times it feels like it.
