I had my thyroid removed on january 13th.
I was really sick after surgery and
wasn't in a real good frame of mind to ask
questions. They said my calcium dropped
too low and I have had to take calcium
three times a day. They have not given
me any other medication yet. I am
really feeling bad. Dizzy, tired, if I
move around too much I sweat and my
stomach has been cramping really bad.
Any ideas? Anybody know why they didn't
give me medicine yet?
Hello hrcollector, so you find symptoms
occured after thyroidectomy? I got no
idea why physician didn't give you any
treatments or on any medication. Cause
usually after that, patients take some
hormone medi. I m hyperthyroid patient,
...I soon have a blood test again, but
some symptoms got improved alot,
especially my eyes getting better after a
medi. So, maybe you can contact my
consultant in singapore, tedyu
@health-guard.Net. Or
health-guard.Net. Perhaps he can suggest
you how many treatments of "healthguard
t18" as for supplements or health balance,
as the way I do now. It is a thyroid
medi.

Ok so let's be carefull....
You have had a thyroidectomy because of
capilar cancer. If your calcium was that
low, the doctor might want to get your
calcium level stabalized first before
giving you meds to replace it's functions.
Why this has not been yet done? No one
is to know, and I figure this is good for
you too!! Your first step to me, would be
that you inqire on this from your surgeon.
Get firm answers from him. He/ she has a
responsibility to give you all necessary
info for your thyroidectomy. The dos,
don't, whys, fors,etc.....
I have had a thyroidectomy caused by
capillary cancer in march this year. I
have also been searching online since
september 2005 about the procedure, after
effects, risks involved, precautions,
treatments, and I can go on. My point is
that, if you are concerned about any
action taken or not taken by your surgeon,
insist on knowing. It's your right!!!
Now having said this, if you are not happy
with the results of your inquiries, you
are not obligated to stay with this
doctor. There are some who actually cares
about their patients and will be more than
willing to help out.
Please keep us posted on developments on
your progress....
