Does Anyone Have Hypothyroid, And Are You Getting Even More ......hypo Than Usual, Because Of MM Or Treatment?
I've asked my GP, after some research, about adding T3 to my Levothyroxine. I've been taking thyroid prescriptions for as long as I can remember; started during menopause; back in the mid? 80s. TSH is pretty high and it may explain why I feel the way I do. He said we'll wait for my next MM blood tests, check TSH and go from there. That's more than 8 weeks away!

I have my thyroid, lipid panel, and D3 level checked at my primary care each year.
I messaged my GP on My Chart, so I better message my Oncologist. Strange how I didn't think of that.... I guess I just assumed he would see the same things that my GP sees. Then again, they don't share messages, I don't think🤔
I have a video call on the 6th but I'll send a message now anyway; heads up sort of thing.. Thank you Paula 👍🏼 ( just trouble with pills, not food or liquids )
Kathryn,
Difficulty swallowing is a red flag. Talk to your Oncologist. Can you message them on MyChart? 8 weeks is a long time to wait if you are having swallowing issues.

Try taking your pills with a thick juice and pushing them down with a grape tomato or something soft like that. That’s what I do. With the big calcium pills, I pull them apart and pour them in my yogurt.
I didn't even think of discussing it with my Oncologist; good thinking AI! Since my Oncologist only deals with cancer, I'm hoping he doesn't have to get involved.🤒
