Guest guest Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 The rule of thumb is 1 mcg. per pound of body weight for someone who is hypOthyroid. That's a good starting point. Some people may need more and some less. Everyone is different I have no idea whether having had RAI would increase the amount you need. Never having had RAI or being HypO, that's the best I can do. I'm sure Elaine and can speak frpm their experience. Take care, zoey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That - and adding replacement hormone for the T3 hormone as well as T4 (which is what synthroid) - seems to be especially important for people who became hypo through RAI.
