Hi ladies just found out i have a noddule on my thyroid and will have to have half of it removed ,the doc said a lot of my symptoms i have been thinking was peri could have been my thyroid im scared stiff having this surgery what if it makes me worse i cant take anymore problems ,please has anyone any ideas
Hi Karen
How did they find out about this nodule?
From what I've heard , anyone I know of who's had work on their thyroid has been much much better after the op. x
my mom had her thyroid removed when she was in her late 20's to early 30's (can't remember the exact year, just know I was a small child). She has had to take synthetic thyroid her whole life (and has to get the levels checked regularly) but she's a ripe old 67 year old woman now and had no other real health problems, so hopefully getting it removed and getting on thyroid replacement will help get rid of your other symptoms and you'll feel much better!
What symptoms are you having? Do as much research as you can, but, ultimately, if it's causing you to be sick, I would take it out, as long as it sounds like it's a fairly routine surgery. I know no surgery is 100%, but if the benefits outweigh the risks, I, myself, would do it.
hi shelagh, i have had bad reaction to heat and cold hyper feeling doc checked tsh 00.05 and i had pain in the kneck sent me for tests and found the nodule and said my right side of my thyroid is bad
Sounds like you've got a good GP , imagine, if you get sorted and feel 'normal' again! Yippee!
I had my thyroid removed because of a nodule, I would say I stayed the same did not get worse. Maybe even a little better
Good luck
wouldnt that be nice im so scared to have it done i dont know anyone thats had half their thyroid removed what if i feel worse when you are having all the peri symptoms anxiety and all it makes you terrified of anything im getting myself in a right pickle over this x
I imagine it's very scary but try and focus focus focus on the end result! Feeling well!

Hi karen what was your symotoms hun x
im going to have my hop tea and honey and go to bed it does wonders for a good night if your having hot flushes and bad sleep im sure it helps me with being less hyper the next day fingers crossed x
Hi bev how are you well i hope , i was having a bad time with heat and cold and i was wired up all the time hyper i am having all the bad peri symptoms but felt hyper all the time and talk i could talk the back end off a donky my doc was great i would tell anyone with all this going on to get thyroid checked because many symptoms mimic thyroid as well x
Hi Karen, i had the samething and ended up having a complete thyroidectomy, it wasnt bad like it seems it would be, was only in hospital for a full day. You cant even see my scar on my neck the surgeon was that good. I have been on synthroid ever since, havent had any problems thus far! You'll be good, promise. Good Luck!
yes, karen, best wishes for a quick recovery and back to normal life to you. do let us know
