Re: Change in Medication--> CHAT

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

(Leaping to my doctor's defence) I switched to a new endocrinologist

this year who seems up to date as far as I can judge, but he did

profess to preferring to reduce the thyroxine in " older " thycans

because of the risk it could cause/accelerate osteoporosis. The jury

still seems to be out on this, and I already have osteoporosis,

although there are other reasons in my case. So changing my thyroxine

dose after 30-odd (quite a few odd) years would certainly be a case of

" shutting the stable door... " , and I am on medication (Fosomax) for

the osteoporosis itself.

Cheers
