Is There A Correlation Between Hyperthyroidism And Gall Bladder Removal?
I had my gall bladder removed about 12 years ago. Since then, i have had a a few instances of hyperthyroidism that have been treated with methimazole. I took the medicine for about 6 months each time and then was ok for a few years before hyperthyroidism recurred. I am wondering if a link exists between not having a gall bladder and hyperthyroidism?

Hi, I have read your question and understand your concern regarding your illness.
There is no such co-relation between not having a gall bladder and hyperthyroidism. Continue taking methimazole as prescribed by your physician if there is recurrence and get your thyroid function tests done regularly.
Hope my answer will satisfy you.
