Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 You've come to the right place.. plenty of knowledgeable and caring folks here.... Be patient... It's gonna take a few weeks for the Synthroid (synthetic T4) to kick it.... It takes roughly 5 to 6 weeks for most folks to see a difference. What part of the country are you in? What is your dosage right now? Do you have copies of your blood tests that you can post for us to see (include the lab ranges too, please) Topper () On Thu, 18 Dec 2003 15:44:23 -0600 "Stacey & Shane Huston" writes: Hi I am new to this group.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 The diahrrea is a dead giveaway to me: What are your lab ranges, posted with the normal ranges? One of the cardinal symptoms of hyPO is constipation. One of the cardinal symptoms of hyPER is diahrrea, unless you simply have a viral bug in your intestines. Did they actually find that you have gone into the hypo mode yet? Was your diagnosis Grave's Disease, and when was that? Can you give us a detail of your history there, and did you have RAI, or have your thyroid removed? Texas New Hi I am new to this group. I was just diagnosed with Hypothyroid last week.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi we are new to valtrex. What is the typical dose for a child 6 years old? Do the majority of kids handle this treatment ok or do they have lots of side effects, what about if the child has mito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
