Default Is there a possible link?

I am now almost 5 months out from ADR at c5/6. Since my accident, I have had low-to-borderline thyroid levels but because I had started on estrogen patches a few days before the accident, I have wondered if the estrogen was affecting my thyroid levels. At any rate, I held off on starting thyroid replacement. Yesterday, I received the results of my first post-surgery thyroid tests--and they are back to normal! Additionally, since my accident, I have been diagnosed as a "glaucoma suspect" because of elevated intra-ocular pressure; yesterday I went for my first post-surgery check and my pressure levels were normal!
I am aware that there is literature linking thyroid issues to trauma and whiplash but I am also aware that as a spiney, I have been linking everything (or almost everything) to my herniated disk, but after having had neck surgery, I really feared the thyroid would be worse, not better.

So: any thoughts? Is there a possible link, including the alleviation of pain/stress, between the ADR and these incredible medical findings?
