Reply to "Thyroid Issue!"

In the late 70's my husband noticed a minor swelling in my neck when he looked at a photo of me!  I didn't notice a thing BUT I was experiencing a huge surge of energy which was atypical for me but very enjoyable!  Turned out it signaled a hyperactive thyroid which needed to be taken care of.  So, I swallowed a dose of radioactive iodine and have been on thyroid medication ever since.  TSH levels taken every 6 months which sometimes leave me needing me to adjust the dosage of the thyroid medication I take.  No biggie.  My J-pouch was created in 2001 with takedown in 2002.  No additional problems with my levels of thyroid hormone after J-pouch creation.  I don't even miss having a thyroid gland.  Guess I could say the same about my colon!  Best wishes, CT!!!!  I know you'll do just fine.
