Thyroid--Synthroid-Westroid???

[Guest guest]

Has anyone had thyroid trouble after surgery?

I had my surgery on April 9th 2001 and somethings wrong but we dont

know what. After takeing a new type of synthroid my thyroid feels

like it is fluttering and raceing...I am scared to take it now.

Monday they will do some blood work, but I was wondering If you'all

have any ideas or advise???

Sounds like the new brand is much more potent. call your doctor to

see if he wants you to continue taking it!

This is what happened to me when my dosage was increasee until it got

in my system but I would call the doc for sure. I take synthroid but

plan to ask my doc about Unithroid. For more (and probably all...LOL)

the info you can go to thyroid.about.com This is a great place.

Hope this helps. Oh yeah, make sure you don't take your thyroid meds

with other supplements. I didn't know any better and my latest labs

showed up hypo again.

this is very interesting and concerning.

In 1974 I was born...without a thyroid so I have been

taking Synthroid for 26 going on 27 years. I am

severely obese BMI is 58 and I am having DS with Dr.

Herron on August 1st. There was an article not to

long ago re: thyroid medicine and they were saying

there were some bad batches out there to where people

where having tests show up fine but they really

werent. They were going back and forth from hypo to

hyper and were gaining weight for no reason. Now

Sandy and anyone else post up, has this taking

synthroid effected your weight loss? Dr. Herron said

it should have no impact but I would like to hear your

experiences.

Thanks so much!

My thyroid tests have come back fine so far (have had 2 in the

4-1/2 months since surgery).

I feel my weight loss is where it should be considering my

starting weight, the length of my common channel and other

factors.

I take .125mcg of levoxyl daily - same as before surgery.

Sherry,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I love your pictures! I can't wait until August 1!

My husband and I just bought an inground swimming pool

tonight and it will be in by July 30th. This works out

perfect! I can recover floating in my pool. I can't

wait to start my new life. I am not expecting to

become Ally McBeal but if I could get down to 140 I

would be happy. I am 5'1 on a good day!
