It may well be. Obviously, your endocrinologist will need to advise you on that.Menolly wrote:Yes, that I understand. I stopped taking the synthroid back on, uhm, December 12th, I think. I hope that is long enough to get the thyroid hormone to the levels it needs to be before I am admitted for the uptake on Wednesday.
It takes much longer than that, however, to feel some of the more worrisome side effects of hypothyroidism, months in many cases, depending on how low the thyroid hormones are. Undiagnosed hypothyroidism can be very insidious because of that - a person could get into serious hypothyroidism before anyone really realizes something is wrong.
So glad you are getting the care you need.
