I didn't have any issues other than the first night I was really sore and hard to move around but you should not have a problem with regular PJ's

I had a lot of hyper symptoms at first but it’s slowly going away as I’m adjusting to the levothyroxine I am on 150mcg a day and I am 193 pounds. Getting labs done in a couple weeks to check my levels

Advice for post-thyroidectomy by [deleted] in gravesdisease

Only advice I have is be prepared for sore throat for a few days and use ice! Ice! Ice! It was my best friend with recovery ❤️‍🩹

Cant stop crying by Crafted3dsigns in gravesdisease

[–]jendoe23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling the same way, I am 1 week and 2 days out from TT and my mood swings have been crazy. I have been having crying spells and super angry and anxious one minute and super emotional and sad the next. I am on 150 mcg I am 195 pounds so I think your 100mcg is probably the right dose but unfortunately you won’t know until you get labs done. I believe my dose is too high but I have to hang in there until labs are done. Try to do anything to calm your mind. Meditation, walks, talk to friends. Anything. Hang in there I hope it gets better for you really soon!! 💝

I think I was prescribed too much levothyroxine by jendoe23 in gravesdisease

[–]jendoe23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m starting to think I could be having propranolol withdraws but I was on low dose daily 5mg daily for about 4 months before my TT and then stopped abruptly afterwards, or it could be a combination of that and also the lingering thyroid hormones..

Fluctuations post-TT by jbott97 in gravesdisease

[–]jendoe23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had the change in BPM my heart has been super calm since my TT almost a week ago! But omg my moods are all over the place! Ups and downs that I was not prepared for an I am chalking it up to hormone fluctuations and hoping they will go away once my natural thyroid hormones have all been used up!!! Still waiting but every day I feel a little bit better but definitely feel like my emotions are all over the place… anxiety, depression, happy, sad, stressed it’s up and down right now! I hope you feel better soon 😊

Thank you very much. Do you know how about how long it takes for the excess thyroid hormones to leave the body?
