    I had my thyroid removed 20 years ago - one lobe did not work (cold) and the other side had a cancerous nodule - Took a few months - I was sad for the operation , but once you mourn the loss you and move on - your life is back to Normal - I wish I knew about iodine, selenium before - My best wishes to all for Healthy Life ! It’s going to be fine - I needed to hear it 20 years ago and I hope it helps someone out there 😊

    My life until now has been utter and completely misery since my thyroid was removed have both dio1 and dio2 polymorphism and getting my hormone dose right has been like solving the riddle of the universe. The people who don’t do well on T4 their life totally destroyed I know many of them.

      Don't give up. Look for a new prescriber who is more familiar with situations like yours.

      @@DrChristianson I'd love some recommendations. I've seen 3 different endos locally and two were the "best" recommended by other physicians. No one I've seen wants to do anything but retest, slightly change my meds & tell me to lose weight. (Thanks, Dr. Endo, but you took my thyroid, how am I supposed to do that?) I'm really frustrated. 30lbs up after surgery 10 years ago and so far no luck. I have now developed fatty liver. I exercise regularly, watch my food intake and still feel pretty tired and fat. Oh yeah, & insulin resistant. I suppose that's my fault too. I can show you MyFitness Pal, it's not my diet. Seriously, recommendations welcome. I'm already spending hundreds out of pocket each month for tests and tirosint since I became sensitive to inactive ingredients. What's a few $1000 more?

    Great video. Very informative! I recently had my thyroid removed and have had many TSH tests. No one told me about what to do before the test or the timing.

      Hi - please follow up with other doctors if needed. Sometimes, thyroid surgery can damage the parathyroid glands.

      You should eat TUMS every 30 minutes until the symptoms disappear. My doctor told me to do that I just had surgery 2 days ago

    Felt better than they did before the thyroidectomy? Well I have perfectly normal thyroid function but maybe I’ll feel better if I just get it removed😂
    Excuse me but sounds like Dr Spin not wanting to be honest with the poor patient and telling them they should feel better than they do, putting it back on them! Nice work Doc!

    My mom had her thyroid removed many years ago and has lived on Synthroid. My question is in a catastrophic event like an EMP where there’s a grid down situation and no way to get the medication. Is there any other natural supplements I can stock up on now like iodine? Selenium? or do you have to have a thyroid in order to absorb the iodine? Are you pretty much screwed if you run out of medication?

      @@brandymoreno382 no, minerals would not replace the hormone. Thyroid hormone will be made inside a thyroid. many people keep an extra several month supply of medication’s for reasons like this.

    Hi Doc! I am 8 months after my TT and RAI and i am burping so much every day each day i feel i dont digest properly. Could the surgeon have damaged a nerve during the thyroidectomy?My burps are not typical GERD but is like a constant reflex happening in my throat. I cant fully function and even walk i burp so much. I have had barium swallow test, neck ct scan, gastroscopy, colonoscopy ,24h ph impedance. And im still looking for answers.Any suggestions?

    • @DrChristianson
      @DrChristianson  9 дней назад

      Hi - it's possible but the nerves involved would not likely cause this. There's also a condition called atrophic gastritis, which affects about 30 to 40% of people with thyroid disease.

    Hi Dr.C, i’m reading your book and watching your videos i always test for low iodine in every sort of test, and i eat a lot of seaweed and a very rich healthy diet, what could be the cause of this? And is taking iodine drops a solution when i have hashimoto’s and also hypothyroidism (from rai years ago)
    Thank you! 😊 🙏🏻

      Hi Julia :) Iodine tests are not accurate for individuals. I explain that more here: www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=alan+christianson+iodine+testing&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

    How are patients supposed to know anything when vitamin D testing is no longer considered medically necessary ? They will not test for it anymore. It’s the biggest hormone for all body systems and thyroid patients are at a huge risk without this being tested

      Thankfully you can self-order lab tests.

      I'm 3 years out from my total thyroidectomy due to a malignant tumor, and they've been testing and tracking my vit. D the entire time. They said having it in the healthy range is a primary part of my remission treatment regimen.
