    If you leave any active thyroid tissue, it is capable of reacting to the antibodies and making you hyperthyroid again. Conventional wisdom right now is that it’s total removal (but for the "wingtips" with the parathyroids) for regaining health.

    I am affraid to get thyroid and takre replacement hormones.
    I am small frame and if I gain weight I can not function properly (when I gained 10 lbs extra couple years ago, I was so tired and coudn’t get rid of it no matter what I tired).
    I was wondering if anyone has a successful story with partial thyroid removal.
