Re: Thyroid and Fibroids--Oh My!

[Guest guest]

This is an interesting thread. I'm just recovering from my second

myomectomy in three years - and still a long way from menopause.

I've had hypothyroidism for ten years (Hashimoto's) but have kept it

checked fairly well (at least once a year). I still seem to be

quite good at growing these fibroids (five taken out the first time,

three this go 'round). I've generally had to change Synthroid

dosage at least once a year - mostly up (up to 1.75 mcg now). I'm

only 40 and I KNOW I can't stomach yet another myomectomy - and

still a long way from menopause. Wonder if its worth checking every

6 months instead of every year just in case.

Good info!! I looked for a long time on Thyroid and fibroids and

couldn't find a thing.

Thanks for passing this on!
