Please post your current thyroid hormone tests.  It sounds as though you may have gone hypo, which makes sense, since you have no thyroid to produce hormones.

Hi Kez
I can't tell you what is normal, since I only discovered my thyroid probs last Oct, and have since had a partial thyroidectomy (this July)
I don't feel any different since my op, however I had bloods taken at my 1st check up 2 mths later, and I am now Hypothyroid.
Post op, I had a little swelling and tightness around the wound which lasted for several weeks, but I can't say I had any numbness at all.
When do you have a check up, as I would have thought you will need to be on some meds surely now you don't have any thyroid?
I feel more hungry too lol sometimes all I think about is food!
