Hypothyroidism, After Thyroid Removal
"I was 1st diagnosed w/hyperparathyroidism.The dr. said it wasn&#039;t bad to just watch it.After a couple of years it got worse-I saw another dr. &amp; he did 6 biopsy&#039;s-found that I had Papillary Cancer-following mo. I had my thyroid &amp; 2 parathyroids removed-surgeon put me on 100mcg of generic Synthroid-seemed to be doing ok until I had the RAI, twice, then everything messed up. I was still having hair loss, ears ringing, teeth getting bad, bathroom habits were never the same, cramps, affected my salivary glands permanently so I&#039;m dry all the time plus I&#039;ve put on 25 lbs. I eat, I don&#039;t eat, it doesn&#039;t matter, the weight will not come off.The Endo dr. changed my dosage to 112mcg &amp; I seemed to be doing better.I am back to 100mcg w/previous symptoms."
