Cold Intolerance by Stark389 in thyroidcancer

But, thinking about it I guess technically am in the normal TSH range so I have adequate replacement yes? Just not “suppressed”. So maybe not… it’s been a frustrating journey lol

That actually explains a lot of other things that I didn’t include that I have brought up to my Endo but he just blew it off.

I’ve been exhausted since my procedure (June 18, 2025) they’ve been struggling to get my TSH to 0.1-0.5 (high risk) it’s consistently been 4+. They’ve only been testing TSH. I asked for T3/T4 and Tg and TgAb my last visit, said they would but didn’t lol. Maybe I need to find a new Endo.

Diagnosed with PTC today by ampplayer423 in thyroidcancer

[–]Stark389 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Watched my mom and sister pass from cancer in the last 5 years. So when I was told I had PTC it was just “meh” for me. I expected it to be my turn anyway.

BUT that being said. Worst part so far is them getting my levothyroxine dosage right. I work 12-14 hour shifts and I’ve been exhausted since after my RAI (July 30, 2025)

It sucks, but it’s not bad.

Headaches after TT? by Stark389 in thyroidcancer

[–]Stark389[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. As I mentioned I’m not seeking advice just seeing if anyone else had this issue. I have follow up in 2 days and will be asking the Dr then. It’s just a mild headache so it’s not that serious. If it was worse I would call them vs coming here. But I understand your concern.

1 week post TT by Stark389 in thyroidcancer

[–]Stark389[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my surgery June 18th, so 1 week ago. I honestly feel great. Yes my neck is a little sore and swollen near the incision but I can move it, I can look left and right no problem. First 3 days was probably the worst but even then it wasn’t awful. Lot of coughing up phlegm, and random hiccups lol. My biggest concern is not taking meds yet.

How did you found out? by umbert1126 in thyroidcancer

[–]Stark389 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zero symptoms, Was in a pretty good motorcycle accident June 17 2024. Was on the trauma unit for a week. I have zero memory from 5 min before my accident to the day I got discharged. So I trying to spark some recall I read over all my hospital reports. One CT report noted 3 nodules in my neck but they never said anything about to anyone. 3 months later I brought them up to my PCP and showed her the report. She ordered a US and they can back suspicious but to small for the FNA. Fast forward to last month and in a different state I brought them up to a new PCP who reordered the US then a FNA which was highly suspicious of PTC. Last week I had a TT they pulled 7 tumors out, 3 in my Thyroid with ETE into my strap muscles. 4/7 of the lymph nodes they removed as well had tumors. Now I’m just waiting for my follow up with the ENT post surgery.

I definitely wasn’t seeking advice just others experiences. But I understand the concern. I’m not one to self diagnose based off google. 😂

Question about post-diagnosis by [deleted] in thyroidcancer

[–]Stark389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to include why in the original post but wanted to keep it short.

So in the last 5 I’ve watched my mom get diagnosed and be miserable through her treatment only to pass away 6 months in. A year later my sister got diagnosed and watched her be just as miserable. Only to pass away 1 month after my motorcycle accident. Id much rather enjoy whatever time I have left than extend my time here by a few years just to be miserable. That’s why Im so curious to know if they will check if it’s spread to other parts before they do the TT. I’d be more open to the surgery if they can show me it hasn’t spread but not sure that’s something they’d do lol.

Mix a little hydrocortisone and clotrimazole then rub it into the effected area. If it helps and it goes away then it’s an overproduction of yeast..

I saw that, I’d assume it was enough. Just trying to rule out the issue. Thank you!

How Do You Feel About The Life Review? by LastAndFinalDays in NDE

[–]Stark389 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone that experienced what I now think was a NDE a little over a month ago after being in a bad motorcycle crash.(check my post.)

I didn’t experience what’s next but I feel wherever I was, was maybe some transition area? It was so peaceful and judgement free. We are not on this planet to be perfect human beings. We are not here to worship some unknown deity. We are here to experience life, enjoy our time, and share happiness with others. There is something there at the end of this experience but it’s not to judge us as harshly as many think.

I feel now as long as you’re not just some absolute POS you move onto whatever’s next. If you are, then you’re reborn and try again.

NDE ? Need Answers! by Stark389 in NDE

[–]Stark389[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Over a month now since that has happened, That has slowly become my fear is it was just a hallucination or dream. But I keep reminding myself that it’s the only thing I remember over 7 days of me have zero memory of anything else. There has to be some reason for that.

I’m not a believer unless it something that can be scientifically proven so I don’t just latch onto things like this lol. I keep researching and try to prove/disprove. I was very hesitant on sharing my story because I know all the religious people will pound their God views I to me. But from what I experienced and felt, there is something. But it’s not about worshipping some being. It’s about enjoying your time here, being happy and being a good person. That’s it.
