Hello,
    My husband had his Thyroid removed in 1982. Secondary to Thyroid Carcinoma. He has been on Synthroid .2mcg po qd for
years. He's soon to be 48. His Dr. retired. A new young Internal
specialist is now his Dr. Joe's previous Dr. always had Joe run high
with his TSH levels suggested by the Radioligst/Oncologist and has
had No Problems!!! Now this new Physician has cut Joe's synthroid
back to .175mcg po q day. Joe's latest level was .083. He has gained signifigant wt. is sluggish, "bloaty" , feels awful!!! And the
new Dr. wants to cut his synthroid back even more! Joe has been
cancer free for 25 yrs.!!! I am a Critical Care Nurse and I am butting
heads with this new approach. My husband is MISERABLE!! WHAT
DO WE DO? Sincerely Pam Sitzman RN
