Anyone gone through thyroid surgery lately?

Question

I was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid about 18 months ago. Because I felt fine for many months and was going through other things at the time, I just blew it off. Big mistake. My thyroid gland grew so large that I ended up with a racing heartrate, extremely dry, flaky skin that itched so bad I thought about killing myself over it, extreme fatigue and problems with concentration.

After not having a good night's sleep for almost eight months, I drug myself to an endocrinologist. When medication didn't work, I ended up in a surgeons office, who advised me that untreated thyroid conditions can tax the heart so much, it can make you go into heart failure! I'm now one week post-op, and even though I'm still building up my stamina, I can't begin to tell you how much better I feel! It will take months for my skin to recover, but my concentration is back on track, my heartrate has returned to normal and I sleep like a dream! Please don't ever ignore a diagnosis like I did.

Answer 1

yes but mine was in the parathyroid glands. there are 4 of them within the thyroid and i had 3 removed. any kind of thyroid problem can mess up your life completely, so i know what you mean about skin problems and heart disease. i had ventricular tachycardia, from which most people don't recover but i had a defibrillator implanted and life seems to be back to normal now.
so let me reiterate your warning ----- never ignore thyroid problems. they can kill you thankyou for sharing your experience.

Answer 2

whilst i circulate by using difficult situations, i like to circulate on YouTube and discover somewhat humorous video clips, drink warm chocolate, examining a sturdy e book, listening to song or -such as you- wander around a eye-catching place. BQ- existence is being sensible with me yet having suggested that, you could continuously replace your existence. BQ2- I play somewhat some contraptions like the piano, clarinet, violin, alto saxophone, cello, tenor saxophone and trumpet.
