Hello to all. After a few years of hovering around the high end of the
normal mark my thyroid deficiency has reached a point where two days
ago my doctor put me on .075 sythroid, which I understand is a low
dose. Apparently he'll be monitoring my hormone level over the next few
months as we zero in on the correct dosage.
My hint that something was wrong was when my weight went up by 15 lbs
and my weekly jogging totals went from 30 miles a week to about 8. My
question is this: Can anyone recommed a FAQ or a site that will give me
a comprehensive description of my condition? My mother has Hashimoto's,
which I may or may not have - where can I get info on that condition?
Lastly, can I expect any side effects as my dosage gets adjusted? Will
this condition affect any other areas of my life? I'm 37, male, and up
until about 6 months ago extremely active.
Thanks!
Sheldon Silverman
