Had a biopsy on my thyroid last week, growth (nodule) was flagged as suspicious because of size. Got the results back and there was no cancer found!!!!

On the flip side, doc gave me the okay to off the thyroid med. It was being used to shrink the growth and is only productive in 3% of cases but not successful on mine. No fun and I could not undertsand for sure until I asked but going off this med causes headaches, nausea, fatigue. I felt lke I was back to square-one all over again. However, nurse said this should pass within a month of being off med.

Whew, that's indeed good news! Hopefully the rest of the problems will disappear soon as well.

You must be incredibly relieved. So happy for this result. Are they having you taper off the med? Some meds will have less of a withdrawl when tapered but I don't know if that is the case with the one you are taking.

That is great news. Hopefully you won't feel too bad from stopping the med.

Great news! Glad you are okay!!

(and I have to say I went through this myself with a thyroid nodule in 2008--which has now somehow disappeared!?? and I take no meds and my thyroid functions perfectly normally) I am guessing yours will too!?

Good for you--celebrate today!!

Tapering off the med (take one every other day for a week or so?) may be the better bet.

Ask the doc??

Great news! Waiting for the results of a biopsy is nerve wracking.

Good news that you can stop taking the med, but it's a shame it causes so much trouble as it leaves your system.

Wishing you a speedy rebound! :D

Really good news, AVR. Now you can relax (once you withdraw from your thyroid med :D )

I'm so very happy for you! As someone has stated here . . . you should celebrate!

I also believe you should taper off the meds. I would talk to your doctor about that but it just seems to make sense.

Best of luck to you as you try to do that.

No tampering off. First few days I was fine but day 7 I felt it and I could not figure out what was going on. This was like in the beginning when I got so sick, only able to stand for short amounts of time before I felt like I was going to pass-out kind of like my iron is low (which it is not), very weak (muscles feel like they have half their strength), nausea, fatigue. Walking up the stairs or vaccuuming the floors is a chore. My kidneys started acting up on me which is not uncommon, don't know if there is a link to the meds or not. My knee, wrist and elbow joints are aching again so I am taking it easy righ now. I'll see if this passes....right now trying to hydrate myself, staying away from caffeine and alcohol. I have an appt to see doc the first part of next month and if these symptoms don't pass I'll see if they can run my bloodwork again, perhaps something is low.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
