Hashimoto's
Is it possible to still have symptoms from Hashimoto's disease if you've had your thyroid removed?
Best Answer
After a TT, you would be hypothyroid for life, so the biggest symptom of Hashi's, hypothyroidism, would remain. However, many of the symptoms of Hashi's that have to do with the "slow death" of the thyroid (e.g. swings from hypo to hyper, etc.) would be resolved. TT is not usually recommended in the case of Hashi's unless there are extenuating circumstances like difficulty swallowing and/or breathing.
I commented because the reference was to Hashi's. However, I'm sure there are people better able to comment on thyca and tests to check for thyroid activity than I. I'd suggest you post a new question with reference to thyca and testing. That way, you'll attract people who have been through it and know more.
Best of luck!

Thank you for your answer. My thyroid was removed because one of the nodules was found to have a spot of cancer. I was lucky enough that it was so small that I did not require any follow-up, although it did take about 4 years to get my TSH regulated, and it still fluctuates at times.
My TSH goal is .3 to .5 in an attempt to prevent any stray thyroid cells to grow. If I do have stray thyroid cells growing, how would my doctor know??
