@kathleen1314 WOW! I have been on levothyroxine since high school. I thought it was one of the few drugs I didn’t have to worry about hurting me. I don’t think there’s an alternative to me taking it and I do seem to need it. Today was the first time I ever heard of strontium.

@llynch17056 ideally docs don’t overprescribe levo. or any other med…thyroid levels should be checked regularly, so that the dosage can adjusted to exactly what’s needed-my doc does that-i even have to split one of the pills each week…..these days, people are more aware of side effects and info much easier to get, and we have groups like this Mayo pointing out useful info.,so we can take simple countermeasures to help our bones.

Well personally, I am not seeing much to make me concerned about Levothyroxine research with bone health; seems as long as you follow good bone health and especially don't have high T4 levels and add in t3 then everything is ok.
I know that I have used levothyroxine for years and still have good bone density and good bone quality (TBS), and I started with osteoporosis.
So the strontium seems to be working plus all the usual bone "usual suspects" thank you Casablanca. 🙂
