Hypothyroidism, After Thyroid Removal
"I am a 38 year old female.  I had my thyroid removed about 7 months ago because I had thyroid cancer.  I have been on Synthroid for about five months.  My endocrinologist has a great deal of experience, so we found my correct dose after only two tries.  Once I was at my correct replacement dose, I felt great.  I feel just well, if not better, than I did before I was diagnosed. I am counting off a point only because Synthroid (though this is the case with all brands of levothyroxine) is a nuisance to take everyday, and it requires some planning if one must (as I do) take calcium and iron supplements every day as well."
