Has anyone experienced Total thyroidectomy and low immunity?
Every time I get sick it lingers for weeks, including low grade fevers. I am 9 years post total thyroidectomy. There are other issues but thats the main one at this time.
Here are a few excerpts from the Society for Endocrinology - Thyroid hormone metabolism in innate immune cells...
"Thyroid hormone (TH) metabolism and thyroid status have been linked to various aspects of the immune response. There is extensive literature available on the effects of thyroid hormone on innate immune cells."
"Circulating TH levels have a profound effect on neutrophil, macrophage and dendritic cell function."
"This overview of the literature suggests that TH metabolism plays an important role in the host defence against infection through the modulation of innate immune cell function."
