I want to say first that I am grateful that I don't have cancer! It's been 5 months since my thyroid was removed due to very large nodules. I think it was functioning fine. I had no idea I would feel so bad for so long afterward. I believe I have a very good doctor. She adjusts my T4 med and has added 10 mcg of T3. I still barely function and I'm getting fat as a hog -miserable. I will see her next week and I plan to ask for the natural hormone replacement instead of Tirosint and Cytomel that I currently am using. Has anyone been able to feel good again after having thyroid removed? How long does it take? If you have changed to the natural hormone I would love to hear your comments. Im so happy I found this site. I welcome any help.

I do too & I have a squealing sound in my throat all the time!
Give up teaching. It is the most stressful profession and there is no way your meds can be regulated when you are under that stress. I loved teaching but after thyroid cancer surgery I gave it up so I could have regulated metabolism.
I had my thyroid out in September 1989. I've been pretty much ok all that time up until menopause. I haven't had my period in 7 months now. Does not having a thyroid have an effect on menopause?
