I also think a second opinion isn't a bad idea. I think if you need the med you should go on, and I am sure they will watch you closely for a while at first making sure your dose is set to what you need.
I had a friend who was borderline, went on Synthroid for a while, and then started getting palpitations, went off, and has never had problems since. And now they just test it to make sure like they have you. I don't think any hypo meds will be damaging in any way if you need them. I have been on Synthroid since I was two weeks old! |
