Hello everyone:

Today I am a little choff because although I had an appointment with my endo for July 8, it has called me today to tell me that I have the thyroid again through the clouds and it is that for the 3rd time I have made a recurrence of hyperthyroidism produced by a goiter (Serious baseDow).So again to "fake myself with the tyodril."

As this is the 3rd time, I think that when I go to the consultation, I will be able to eradicate the disease in a definitive way, I do not know if with radioactive iodine or with surgery .......

As I know that it is something that goes parallel to diabetes (the two are autoimmune diseases and they have told me that they can be related) I wantedThey have removed the thyroid if everything has gone well ..... is that I am a bit scared because they are afraid of any of the two options ......

Thanks in advance !!!

Hello Virginia
The surgery has a very good prognosis ... It is not a surgery anything complicated ... although then you have to take a pastillite already forever :?
The only thing that is usually checked are low calcium levels ...

The radioactive iodine ... Well, if you have children nearby, I imagine that your endo will discard it.

Thanks Owash ....

I imagined the iodine since I do not have children close if no more the opposite ....... that I am preparing for it, with which and how I understand that you have to wait for 1 year to have them ....Little nervous ... although if you tell me that surgery is not complicated because you calm me a little because you already know that there is nothing worse than the overinformation that Internet provides to put someone's nerves !!!!!

A surgery always has risks ... it is obvious;And more being general anesthesia ... but it has no technical complexity or serious complications, except discomfort in the throat a few days and little more.
The "good" is that endos are also thyroid specialists so you should better control your blood glucose levels before, during and after the intervention.
At least he knows about the 2 things.
It always gives me "Yuyu" move from one doctor to another ... as I say: that of the eyes do not ask him about his feet because he has no idea

Hello!!!
I tell you my story !!With 5 years I was detected hyperthyroidism for serious -Basedow and they operated with 7!It was all great and I have been with the eutirox pill! Levothyroxin !!And now with 23 I detect the type 1 diabetes that never manifest before!
Yours is the revenge !!I believe that we have some predisposition to enf autoimmune pro does not have a direct relationship with each other !!
I recommend surgery because it is effective, it is not complicated and then with a pill the whole theme is regulated!Maybe diabetes in the process will break down and others then regulate!
My mother TB had a goiter but not by Basedow!pro one recently and everything went well !!
Cheer up!!!And what you need here are!
A kiss

Debut 2010,Tipo I.Apidra+Lantus. Glico 7,3% :(

Thank you very much for the spirits ....... ha ha ha ... you are right Owash, less bad that it is the same specialist as if ...... So everything is in family !!!!!
Bylma, I will tell you because the endo sees me next week and for what he told me on the phone he will raise me to settle the subject definitively.
What I imagine is that that will carry a process and preparation, right?I suppose I will have to normalize the thyroid with the tyrodile and when everything is normalized then already operate ....... and if we add the waiting list of the SS .... Puffffff the same planted me in the yearWhat's coming !!!!!
Anyway ..... Let's see what they tell me .......
