Can't offer any experience on the 3 choices you listed but I can refer you to a pretty good support site for thyroid and maybe someone there has had to go through that: http://thyroid.about.com Once there, scroll down on the list to left of page and click on FORUMS. Good luck!
BTW -- how are you doing with the thyroid meds? Took me quite a while and a few changes to find the right med and the right dose. |
No, I won't get my voice back unless I have some sort of procedure done to correct the paralyzed vocal cords. The Dr put a scope down my throat today and took some pictures as I was trying not to gag... but my left vocal cords do not move at all.
I am doing fine with synthroid, I have been on that for 6 years. I am now on 100 mcg. I have to have blood work done again soon, they had to remove one of my parathyroid glands at the same time. So my calcium levels have to be monitered closely for a while.
Thanks for the info, I'll check out the website.
