Summary
The investigators have already proven that absolute total thyroidectomy gives elimination of
anti-TPO antibodies. Our hypothesis is that this elimination also eliminates the typical
Hashimoto symptoms, namely: Serious tiredness, increased need of sleep, pain in musculature
and joints and dryness in eyes and mouth. The prerequisite for this effect is the absolute
total thyroidectomy. There exists no other treatment that can eliminate the antibodies. The
study is randomized between operation and ordinary conservative medical treatment with
thyroxine control and supplementation. The symptoms in both groups are evaluated by 5
different Quality of Life schemes, internationally approved.
