thyroid surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I have a question regarding some of the recent thyroid

surgeries posts. My mother-in-law has recently had the surgery also,

after waiting a year because her doctor didn't believe it was

necessary

till she couldnt swallow Unfortunately, now, she has had problems

with her calcium levels, and voice problems, all due to the

invasiveness into the thyroid, and parathyroid. We expected SOME

recovery time, but since she has always been such an active person,

she

is getting worried. She has no energy, depression, muscle fatigue,

and

now says it hurts to swallow again, like something is in her throat.

My question is this: They originally told her that she had

Hashimotos

Disease, but with the removal of the thyroid that would be gone, but

couldn't her antibodies start attacking something else???? I have

heard lupis and fibermyalgia are all connected, so maybe this is what

is starting with her? And if so, is there anything she can start

doing

in particular to help combating it? Also, the Dr. has been adjusting

her calcium and the hormone levels, we are just worried this is more,

 

Thank you for any input, Tiffany
