Shirley, I had read about partial thyroidectomies and asked the ENT that I was referred to (long story) about it. He told me that he does a total one and then puts the patient on Synthroid as needed. I was able to get a referral from him to an endo and go in 2 weeks. I am going to pursue it then. In the mean time I feel a little better – I forgot just how long it takes for the meds to start working. The beta-blocker has made a big difference but wears off before it is time to take another. Thanks for the info!
