Hi ladies i had a full hysterectomy on the 12th Sep so ive gone into menopause.and now ive got overactive thyroid as this ever happened to anyone else.I go and see the speacilist on Thursday.My mum had operactive thyroid when she started going through the menopause.
Are you on hrt?
Hi Sam no am not on HRT why do you ask that my love xx
Hi Julie
I didn't no if that could cause it. I think I have the under under active. I just read up on the net I felt rubbish for a long time. But just been hospt today for my 7 week check up after my op and I told him how I feel so Iam starting a low dose of hrt. It said that will help. Are they going to offer you any treatment ? X
Hi Julie
I'v yet to have my full hysterectomy (this Friday 9th) but I do have an underactive thyroid. This started around the time of my natural menopause, and I think this can often be the case.

Hi Kath well good luck my love with your operation everything will be fine.Yes my mum started with a overactive one when she started her menopause and apparently it does run 9n the family xxx
I dont think i want HRT Sam i go to see a speacilist tomorrow about my thyroid so am sure i will be on med then for that.
Ah yes, it is genetic. My neice and cousin have it. I think my daughter has it but tests aren't showing it yet, and I think my mum had it. I'm sure the specialist will sort you out on Thursday (tomorrow?). I've been underactive for about 8 years now and am fine.
What sort of op did you have for your hysterectomy and how did you feel afterwards - if you don't mind me asking?

Can I ask you why you don't won't hrt if you don't mind. It's just a lot of lady's say. I didn't won't it before but I just feel so rubbish and felt I need to give it a try.
Good look for tomorrow x
