    Hi guys, hope all well as can be.

    had bloods today thyroid gone down even more from 0.4 to 1 so doctor called got to go on thyroxine medication.

     

    on keydruda 4 round next Monday thyroid was going down before starting  keydruda but  do have family history of thyroid issues.

    anyone on treatment for thyroid issues either from history of family or due to treatment how long does thyroxine start to work in your system . I believe he starting me on a low dose to start with.

    i am going through menapause too so some of the symtoms I have been experienceing thought it was normal due to my age ect.

      Hi Scooby,

      My thyroid went from treatment.  One dose of the combo gave me hyperthyroidism.  Within a couple weeks, it moved to hypothyroidism.  A couple weeks after that, it just quit.  They started me on a low dose as well and gradually increased it.  In my opinion, it started working right away.  The battle for my health care team was getting to the correct dose.  It took a few months of increases to get it right.  I currently take 200 mcg every morning and my numbers are finally in the normal range.
