Hello Backatcha, my name’s Robert and I’m very happy you’re alive and well. If you don’t mind sharing just a little bit deeper. I know that you’ll be taking something to compensate for your lack of a thyroid gland. Some form of levothyroxine or something that comes with a wide & particular type of side effects. See, I’d really like to know (if you don’t mind) because that’s what I may be looking at myself so… thank you for your time concerning this matter. Bob or what I show as Chebo54

Hi there. I take synthroid, 75 mcg. It varies and I have it monitored every 6-12 months. Side effects haven’t been the toughest part but losing an organ pronto does put the body into a tail spin. Aches and pains and mood swings…little by little it seems to regulate.
Hope that helps. Feel free to ask questions.
