Very pleased with the treatment there. That was May 19th of 2009 that my entire Thyroid was removed. Now almost one year later they are still trying to regulate the drug that they put me on which is Levothyroxine. They keep changing the dosage and then have me come in every 6 weeks to test my blood levels and switch me up again. I went in again last week and they called to tell me that now they just want me to take the same dosage that I am on (0.150mg) but only take it 6 days a week instead of 7. Has anyone else out there had issues with this?? I am not very pleased with this on going treatment not to mention that it costs me 120.00 out of pocket each time I go in. Now want to question if they know what they are doing? I did not want to go there, but it has been a year now. Any insight would be appreciated.
