I am so confused....I hope you can help me. I am on 100mcg of levothyroxine once a day.. I have always been small and within the past month i have gained 10 pounds  mainly in my stomach!!!! Anyway no matter how much i eat i cannot get full and am ready to eat again...Oh about 5 months ago my joints started hurting and i was very tired...to make a long story short i was in a 71/2 hour surgery to take out 3.5 parathyroids which all had tumors on them..dont really remember the reason why he left the half of one something about having to put somewhere else in my body??? anyway he said in the 30 years he had been a surgeon he had never done so many biopsys in one case..he did 18 he said i had soo many lymphnodes...anyway about two weeks ago my joints started hurting again and i started to taste tin foil or metal in my mouth again...also i started to produce breast milk...and there is no way i am pregnant i had a total hysterctomy 3 years ago. I got my lab work back today or excuse me they called to say my dr. was dropping my levothyroxine from 100mcg to 25mcg.i had a mri on fri.no results yet. what in the world is going on here?????????

When did you have surgery?

Did the doctor run a full panel of thyroid blood tests the other day?

Did he do any pituitary bloodwork?
