@koh thank you for responding. It helps to know the struggle is real for other people too. I never could have imagined how hard getting thyroid replacement would be. Having cancer is awful but this process in my opinion, is ridiculous and could be worse. I feel like I’m having a nervous breakdown trying to constantly manage side effects from medication. Praying for you and others dealing with this mess. Going to suggest lower med again and see what happens. Thx.

@julesjpm definitely keep asking to lower your dose….you might want to ask in the affirmative manner ( Instead of asking tell them… “we need to lower my dose to see if my side effects improve.”) Taking too high of a dose has health implications too, so it seems like something to try. I started tracking my side effects for awhile so I could see trends…. It really helped. Good luck!
