Hypothyroidism, After Thyroid Removal
"Complete Thyroidectemy for cancer and two HUGE goiters with several nodules; which were crushing my esophagus.  Immediately put on Thyroxine and became deathly ill within 2 days.  I malabsorb Thyroxine and am severely allergic to lactose, acacia (grass) &amp; sugar.  Dr. insisted on increasing dosage, rather than listening to me; as seems to the usual.  I am still looking for a Dr. with more knowledge about Armour Thyroid than me, because I am still very ill.  But, I would have DIED on Thyroxine and IF I had kept WATCHING my goiter.  The surgeon came out shocked by the &#039;grapefruit&#039; size.   Cancer was almost secondary.   Drs. aren&#039;t even being taught about Armour Thyroid today.  So sad and SO FRIGHTENING.  Is this a way to kill off more seniors?"
