Have your thyroid hormone levels tested occasionally. Radiation treatment to the neck will diminish thyroxine (thyroid hormone, T4) production. It's an easy fix though. Synthroid is a cheap synthetic replacement.
Thanks for the heads up, Sir. You are 100% correct! I was started on 137 mcg. of synthroid daily about a year after my last radiation treatment.Rick
If no one has told you yet, changing your thyroid medication (especially the brand) should only be done under a doctor's supervision. Don't let the pharmacy tell you they are all the same. They are not. Generics for a brand name are different.My wife has Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and has been on synthroid for decades (started with Levoxyl but it got pulled when the company was bought). A bit of an ordeal finding what worked for her during the change. Constant communication with the doctor (daily) was the key.Nice that a life sustaining medication is so inexpensive.jdg

Since the last post on the subject of thyroid medicine ("synthroid" and other names), the price has quadrupled. Big Pharma must be reading the board and said "HEY, wait a minute ...."Thanks a bunch! Lannis
