Do you feel better since having your thyroid removed

[Dina]

Just wanted to know anything positive about having your thyroid removed.
I am having mine removed soon and I just keep reading about complaints and not many people feeling better.
Are there any good experiences? Please share....:)

I have one!!!! :D

I had hashimoto's with 3 nodules. I always had pains in my next, so much so that they got in the way of daily activities, couldn't balance my meds, and pretty much felt useless and like crap.

I opted to have mine removed against my endo's advice. And there is something to say about following your gut feeling!

I have never felt better!!! My meds are balanced, there is no more pain, I was able to find out that my nodules were benign, my energy is back up, along with my out look for the future. :D

The surgery was an over night stay at the surgery center, my scar is looking great, I recently went to my obgyn yearly and the doc didn't even notice until she read my chart!

I was only outta the picture for about a week, then the next week I was playing and taking care of my 3 and 1 1/2 year old.

I have no regrets about having it removed, I wish more people had the opportunity to have it done if they wanted it.

Don't worry, I bet you feel great afterwards!!!!!!!!!!

Not everyone is lucky enough to have a great experience I guess, but I am proof that it is possible.

I hope everything goes smoothly for you! ;)
