I found out I had 2 golf ball size spots in my thyroid in early 2019. It was a completely random accident that led to being tested so I was very lucky. Had all the follow up testing and heard about how only 5 percent is cancerous but I knew all along mine was. I had it removed several months later and I have been feeling great ever since. I have had 0 side affects and I work just as much as I did prior. My surgery went extremely well and had basically no pain other than eating the first morning afterwards.

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

The first few months are the best- but 1-2 years from now it will be a different story. Let us know how you do!

[@bbkyjohnson]

It’s already been 3 years since the surgery. Im curious as to what kinds of things should I try to be aware of?

[@theroyalgiantgamer5586]

I just want to say thank you so much for the information you share your are so right I can't get any answers from the doctors I was finally recently been diagnosed with hoshimotos after I have been in bed for nearly 2 years I kept going back and forth to doctors until recently they finally tested my thyroid and found out. I still can't get any answers and had to go to you tube to find out about my illness. I'd been suffering with air hunger which is the worst thing I've ever experienced and they still did not know what was wrong I had to tell them it was a symptom of the illness I have finally been referred to a specialist after begging several times. I can't tell you enough how important your work is for people like me so thanx heeps for sharing all you do from the bottom of my heart x paula England

I have Graves and several nodules I’m so tired and shaky and hot. My heartbeat is crazy I have palpations constantly my head is killing me! I don’t want to remove my thyroid! I want a Dr to listen to me! My largest nodule is 5mm and it’s growing everyday I can tell.

[@rolyngerandoy1275]

Thanks Dr...This video of yours is very informative! Not every doctors care really! Good thing you open up this type of awareness.

[@SzerenM]

Be educated about what you're facing is very important. Thank you Dr. Hagmeyer.

Great video and actually all of them. I am a new fan. Doc, I am into functional medicine and Integrative health. I have been studying both for years. I am not a doctor. That being said, I wonder if you would agree with my self- diagnosis of the origins of my anemia due to exactly iron deficiency as well as low free T3, but optimal of T4 and TSH. Pretty much I don't have anything else wrong with me and I have tested myself for many different things including gut issues with sensitivities more than ones. The only thing I have is slight candida I am trying ti get rid of woth probiotics and estrogen dominance. Other than that, elevated cortisol in the evening that makes me tired but wired and metabolically higher LDL and total but I have refused a statin and was able to lower it with diet, though it is still elevated. Trigs and HDL, insulin, A1C, great. That being said, do you think heavy metals can be the culprit of my iron deficiency and elevated free T3? I have run blood test and it didn't show any poisoning but i did have elevated zinc proplrifrin that doctors couldn't figure out reasons of . I tested my hair tissue 3 times and showed very high levels of lead as well as zinc through the roof, which i understand competes with iron. I have been trying to get rid of this. My electrolytes are also messed up. I thought it would be interesting for me to ask since you didn't mention heavy metals. Thank you

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

Iron deficiency could be from Blood loss, (ulcer, menstruation, infection) gut malabsorption problems, not enough red meat in diet. Those are my top things to rule out

[@wellnesscoachingwithmar]

Very informative. I have hyperthyroidism with nodules. Thank you so much doc for sharing. God bless 🙏

[@brielle6589]

I have multiple nodules found in my thyroid and I'm so stressed about it..but thanks for this vid Doc..

[@spiritualmystictarot]

I was having hair loss, sweating, feeling hot as well as other issues. Blood tests returned fine especially for me thyroid. However, I noticed a little lump on my neck and at times feeling like difficulty swollowing. Had CT and he said it is a lymphoid in my thyroid. And said it is fine. Didn’t have any idea what it meant. Was told by GP I may have to have ct every three months as well as thyroid blood test. Thank you for this information.

[@taliczek]

Great informative video. Thank you! I have multiple nodules (less than 1cm), but I have hypothyroid symptoms like hair thinning, hoarse voice (usually in the morning), brain fog, dry skin, cold intolerance. My thyroid is tiny - 8ml. My TSH is optimal, but FT3 and FT4 are - below the normal range and on the lower end. My WBC is low as well. What do you think about that? I've heard about Ord's disease. Could you say something more about that?

[@banumathi1987]

Thank you very much. Very useful and clear information .

[@Michael-qy1jz]

Can Flonase, that blocks all the different allergens the label states, block food allergies also? I have had depression/anxiety and brain fog/agitation for decades and I started using Flonase a few months ago and I have never felt so good. 3 or 4 decades wasted and I never knew. I listened to your old videos on food allergens and the whole question smacked me in the head. Lol. I am relaxed, can think very clear now, no depression or anxiety, amazing concentration, etc. I never had watery eyes or sneezing, runny nose etc, but just decided to try it one day and it's been unbelievable. My thoughts were that the active ingredient is blocking one of the allergens that was messing with me.

[@melissastofey2911]

I'm in Ohio Cleveland clinic is here I was told I had a thriod nodules I ignored it I've been afraid too go but I have a hard time swallowing an neck pain do I see a specialist

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

I think if you watch the video, you will find your answer. 😊

[@sunimarie9626]

Can a CT scan of the neck show nodules in thyroid? My doctor is first sending me for a CT scan. Thank you

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

Yes it will

[@bettysmith4527]

What about a growing nodule with Herthle cells with a history of Hashimotos? My endo is recommending a hemithyroidectomy, but I am hesitant. He did say it is shifting my trachea, but I would still rather keep my whole thyroid. I do have anterior neck pain and difficulty swelling some foods, but it's not as bothersome as surgery would be. I think he is worried that it is Herthle Cell Carcinoma.

[@Danilo-jx8du]

Thank you very much for the info God Bless you.

[@janicetracy1295]

Having trouble swallowing gotta crush my pills sugar pills can't crush. And sugar out of control. Have nodule over 1 centimeters. Neck and lymph nodes swell cough up pills. Spots of blood. Now stomach hurting by bellybutton. Feels not digesting. Stool little balls. What do you think Doc? Thanks God bless Tom Tracy

[@tinal8398]

I commented on one of your videos about feeling worse after taking the thyroid meds. I did not mention on there that I've had a severe cough and clearing of my throat for years. Its been really bad for a year. I was only diagnosed 2 weeks ago with hypothyroidism and they slapped me on Levoxirine. My cough is so bad and its not coming from my lungs. Its a dry hack of a cough. I hate this. I believe i have Hashimotos but I don't know how to bring that up to the doctor

[@smitakulkarni528]

How to get relief from pain, discomfort? Can we take pain killer.? I am taking Altraday tab after 4 to 5 day. Is it harmful? Please tell me.

[@hmry7615]

Is it possible for a nodule to be pressing against the glossopharyngeal nerve causing neuralgia? I had a FNA and it *precisely* triggered my neuralgia pain. I am newly diagnosed with celiac disease and am hoping I can reduce the overall inflammation to prevent the pain naturally. (Diagnosed celiac exactly 10 years after hypothyroid/Hashimoto’s.)

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

Yes!

[@Texasgirl2023]

What about thyroid nodule pain?

[@maryreal3825]

Where and who is the best for biopsy to be done

[@sailasimone6175]

They did a sonogram and I have over 30 thyroid nodules.

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

Yikes!

[@nicopico5537]

I have a multi nodular goiter on my thyroid.. I’ve had it for awhile.. my blood test showed that my thyroid levels were a little elevated so they put me on medicine.. at first only low dose like 25 and it wasn’t working so they up the dose to 50.. haven’t had it checked since.. but I think my hair is getting thinner.. gained weight.. get choked easy on food, drinks and even my own spit quite often.. I didn’t use to do that.. I also take deep breath’s all of sudden out of nowhere.. didn’t use to do that either.. feel tired as well.. Could getting choked and taking deep breaths all of sudden out of nowhere be because of the goiter?

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

It’s tough to say, depends on how big goiter is.

[@gilliemusic5208]

Idk if it's even worth getting my thyroid removed. I have a growing nodule it's not big but growing . It's non cancerous

[@janehusted9570]

Gillie, I have the same issue. You posted this 3 yrs ago. Can I ask how is your thyroid nodule now??

[@pretty0916]

​@janehusted9570 I've had the nodules on my thyroid since 2015 I've had it monitored for 8 years it has grown to 5cm now they want me to remove it, because it chokes me a bit when I sleep on the pillow in a certain position lol I'm like no way, if there's no cancer ill deal with it. So I have a appointment tomorrow to see of it has cancer 🙏 hope that helps!

[@janehusted9570]

@@pretty0916 Sending you posiitive thoughts for your Appt. tomorrow. I changed Endo Drs. in Jan. & he did a 2nd Biopsy & No Cancer. I agree with you, No Cancer---No Problem. Not into having my throat cut open, and they want to remove my thyroid, not just remove the nodules. Don't want to go on thryroid meds. Listening to my body, Loving my body & Thank God for the strength & health he has given me.

[@barthimes6942]

Had half my thyroid removed last week. Not really any pain after surgery. I can breathe and swallow 100% better now. Quality of life is much better. Don't know yet if I'll have to be on meds yet, I'm guessing probably not.

[@smaya713]

Is it possible for a vascular thyroid nodule to cause some type of carotid blockage or shunting? I've been experiencing near Syncope and dizziness. I've been researching Subclavian STEAL syndrome and I'm not sure how common this would be related to vascular nodules?

[@Gramnae7105]

Interesting....I also have dizziness . How did this work out for you?

[@dianabeltran602]

I went ro my doctor. He told me that my tyroid levels are normal but my throid antibodies are high what does that mean?

[@bettysmith4527]

Its means you may have an autoimmune thyroid disease, but your thyroid is still able to function normally. You prob ably have what I have, which is euthyroid Hashimotos.

[@gloriapajares1034]

What if u have enlarge nodules and yet your t3 t4 and tsh is normal?

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

When you say normal are you saying normal Functional levels or "normal" lab ranges ? there is a difference. drhagmeyer.com/dr-hagmeyer-explains-functional-ranges-for-thyroid-lab-testing/

[@Isellhouses1216]

I’m so glad you made this video. It was breath of fresh air. I have a multi-nodular thyroid. FNA was negative (twice). My endo is adamant on getting my entire thyroid removed. He can’t give me a good reason for it other than he just wants it out. I know if I have symptoms to warrant removal, of course I’ll need it out. However, all of my labs are ‘normal’ but my TSH is not optimal. My last TSH was 2.8. I’m so scared that I will never be the same happy person if I go through with this. I’ll do whatever I can do to preserve my thyroid.
