  1. Newbie Introductions - Don't be bashful!
    Hi, my name is Maria, from NJ, I am new here, and here's my story.... I am in my upper 40's and four years ago I was diagnosed with Graves Disease. Believe it or not I did not know at the time that Graves Disease was its own disease, different from hyperactive thyroid disease. So its bad...

    Hi all, I really need advice. I am very conflicted over whether or not to have the surgery. Here's all my info: Two nodules, one on each side. The 3.1 x 2.4 x 2.5 cm one on my left came back as benign from the FNA. It's soft and palpable. The right nodule is 2.8 x 1.4 x 1.6 cm (as of October...

    Had my tt six days ago and feeling depressed since the day after surgery. This is very unlike me. Usually no matter how bad I feel physically I don't get depressed.

    Just thought I would post an update on how my total thyroidectomy went. It didn't! I woke to discover that my surgery was a difficult one. The 7cm nodule on my left lobe was very vascular and apparently when the surgeon opened me up, blood came gushing out. As he attempted to stem the flow of...

    I have a total thyroidectomy 3 years ago. I have been on 100mcg of Synthroid since. I found a new doc who wanted to check some things. He said my T3 was low normal and my reverse T3 was high, possibly from my body not absorbing in at the cellular level and it just staying in my blood stream. My...
