I just want to hear from someone who has had a total thyroidectomy that can say “yep, I feel normal afterwards” because I’m pretty sure I’m going nuts.

Finding someone you like and who will listen is SO important for us, sadly, this isn’t going away. For a while I felt like endocrinology only cared about the diabetes people and were just kind of stuck with us, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Hang in there!
