Suggest Remedy For Abdominal Obesity And Depression Post Surgery For Thyroid Removal

Hi, I have Graves Disease, I took the nuke med to kill the thyroid and it didn t work, I ended up having surgery and they remove 1/3 of the thyroid, and 1 parathyroid due to a nodule on it and it was dumping all my calcium into my system, that was 2004, and I haven t felt good since. I have been putting weight on in my mid section, major depression, and had blood work done to day and almost everything was either high or low, and I am a diabetic. My tongue has a split down the middle, I have sjrogens disease, I am miserable and they can t figue out what is going on. The latest is cracks in both corners of my mouth, and my neck is red one the outside in the shape of my thyroid. I need some help, I think my doctor as wrote me off, he just says I m a puzzle and tries a new medication, or tells me to quit smoking.

Hello

Welcome to HCM!!!

I think you should get your thyroid levels checked. Obesity and depression can be features of hypothyroidism per say which can be due to thyroid surgery you underwent. Tongue and mouth problem can be commonly due to vitamin b deficiency. Start taking B complex capsules once daily. If not relieved get your examination done by a physician to find out cause of tongue fissuring and mouth problems.

I hope this solves your query

God Bless
