Suggest Treatment For Thyroid Cancer
I have was just called by my doctor to advise me that my thyroid is suppressed and she wants me to see a special as I have also been diagnosed with Severe ostorporis. I had thyroid cancer several years ago and they had to remove my thyroids on both sides. I am taking synthoid 125mg for this. How can my thyroid be suppressed if I don t have any thyroid glands?

The one cause could be the thyroid dose that you are taking for supplementation is more than the normal amount your body needs.. A clearer answer could be given if we have a thyroid blood values.. thyroid suppression doesnt cause osteoporosis.. What you could be having would be hypoparathyroidism... parathyroids are glands within thyroid and help in calcium metwbolism which is important for bone strength.. So i suspect it to be suppressed parathyroids rather than thyroids.
Thank you
