[Guest guest]

---Hi Pete this is a side effect of this drug. amiodarone is unlike many of the

drugs that we take it gets into every single part of your body and stays there

for months. It was the same for me you thyroid went slowly mad and then gets out

of control.

what have they put you on now Carbisomol (Sp)

good luck it fun though as you dont need much sleep and you can eat what you

like, I was breathless so that was not much fun.

Hi All

Follow on from my visit to the Cardio on Monday.

Today I went to see my normal Doctor, just to put her

in the picture about what had happenend over the last

3 weeks with my deteriorating situation.

Well what a shock I had, when she announced that she

had just received the results of my blood test on Monday.

Alarm bells rang as she told me that my Thyroid was now

running out of control, and that would be compatible with

the symptoms I had been experiencing.

Odd thing was that I had taken Amiodarone for about 3 yrs

and had never had a Thyroid problem, I had my last Thyroid

check back in January, when I stopped taking Amiodarone.

How then does my Thyroid suddenly start to go active.

So now I`m on another drug to try to reverse the action

whilst maintaining the 250mg Digoxin.

Anybody have any ideas as to what can have happened here?
