Yes, you would. 🙁
General practitioners and an endocrinologist missed how my old-school prescription issued 50 years ago was unecessary and harmful.
I uncovered it in my own research and find Google Scholar invaluable. Unfortunately, I've found many physicians' knowledge has not been current on an array of subjects, and it has been unusual for me to find one open to new information from a patient.
In my case,
even an endocrinologist suggested a medication withdrawal schedule that did not comply with standards.
As I recall, I advocated to reduce the hormones by a slight anount every few months. The doctor followed each reduction with a thyroid panel.
I believe I found the every few months time-line recommendation from the Society of Endocrinology. Although, I've read that it takes 4-6 weeks for thyroid hormone medication to exit the system.
I wish you the best!
@nightsky What type of thyroid meds did all of you in this discussion take? I have taken natural supplements first Armour and now NP ..don’t know what that stands for..for 25 years Im 81
And my Dexas have all been normal but had QCT last year showing osteopenia. The thyroid meds have helped my energy and weight and I don’t think it contributed to osteopenia
