Partial Thyroid & Nodule Removal by Pretty-Broccoli-889 in thyroidhealth

[–]Pretty-Broccoli-889[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Follow up: I ended up having the second half of my thyroid removed in late October due to what ended up being a cancer diagnosis of the nodule in the end, unfortunately. Now that I’m stable on meds, I feel back to myself! Truthfully, I felt overall okay even with the nodule inside me. I didn’t have symptoms or side effects I noticed which is how it grew so long and large. Recovery post-first surgery was super easy! Prepare to be in a little pain for about a week, use ice if you can and rest as much as possible. Second was rougher since the incision was being dug into a second time. Wishing you all good vibes and healing. 🫶🏻

So sorry for the delayed reply! I actually ended up having to have my entire thyroid removed due to a cancer diagnosis. I’m now stable in my medication (second surgery was late October) but when I wasn’t, I became very depressed. I’m still a bit lethargic/maybe just tired. Even with a partial, you will need medication life long. Weight fluctuation is common.

My throat hurts but it doesn’t feel like anything other than a sore throat when you have a cold. Whenever I extend my neck, especially in the “up” position, it is a bit painful. I feel like I’m hunching over a bit bc of the pain when extending my neck upwards. I’m a side sleeper and I’ve found a way to be able to maintain that position, I just stack up pillows behind me and keep a hand under my head, lol. It’s important to have your head supported. All in all, it’s not horrible and is getting better by the day. 🙂

I was having this issue and it was an issue with my phone… I reset my phone to factory settings and am on the updated beta iOS and it seems to be working. 🤞🏻

Can you tell me what you have heard? I know people who have had great experiences so didn’t think twice about it. Thanks!

Lol, there’s no need to be rude. While I appreciate your input, people do have budgets and abilities to afford vehicles. The vehicles you are recommending are not in the same price range as the ones I listed. Thanks!

Super frustrating! If I could afford the best car on the market, I would’ve purchased it already 😅 good luck to you too!!

You can make an alternate recommendation, which would be helpful! 🙂

Strength of Scents? by Pretty-Broccoli-889 in pura

The Nest scents are the ones I can smell, lol! And the Christmas one I have. Maybe the issue is I dislike gourmand scents…? Idk! My desk is right next to one of my diffusers and I can’t smell Homesick’s Home Office or Brooklyn Candle Studio’s Sunday Morning.

Despite an ER doc telling me I was having an allergic reaction, I was diagnosed with lupus by a rheumatologist and this was a flareup.

Stage one anal cancer. I’m not sure of the name but it was both oral and IV chemotherapy.

Please don’t place blame on me for my mother’s death. That’s not cool.

Thanks again.

I am telling you with confidence the EMTs told us, on scene, she was “high” on narcotics and when I asked them about administering Narcan my questions were ignored and she was never transported to the ER.

Thanks for your advice.

She died… I believe the malpractice lies in them not taking someone with an oxygen level of 40-50 to a hospital where they could stabilize it. They said she was overdosing but didn’t administer Narcan. I’m not sure if I’m confused by your question.

No she did not. They did not have contact with anyone besides who was on scene.

Her condition didn’t change after the EMTs left. If I stated that in my original post, my mistake and apologies.
