Significant osteoporosis: I need a bone plan

@normahorn thanks for letting us know about this. I tried to find the actual study and it does not appear to be published yet. All I turned up with my studies are news releases. In those it mixes up levels of thyroid hormones with TSH levels. TSH is the signal to the thyroid gland effecting the production of the actual thyroid hormones (hope I got that right). Anyway there are important distinctions to be made. Were the actual T3 and T4 hormones part of the study are just the TSH?
With more info it might be possible to speculate on how this news might just maybe matter to someone taking thyroid hormones. Myself I'm using the Armour Thyroid product but if this is true for the synthetic hormone product it might be relevant to the more natural approach also.
Anyway thanks for this and if you see the actual study come out please let us know.

I do not have thyroid problems so the details were lost on me. (The article just caught my eye.) Looks like there might be more info available after the paper is presented next week at a conference.
I do know 3 people whose doctors have recently been reducing their dosage of thyroid medicine in steps. None of the 3 seem all that happy about the reduction. Something might be going on that the target level is being lowered.
I was prescribed medication a number of years ago. It made no difference in my energy level so the prescription was never refilled. Maybe I lucked out.
