Carol's MO said that her TSH level was still acceptable although he admitted it was a little high. After further discussion he agreed to write the script. Her TSH baseline was established last January and a retest done this past month. The MO said it would be at least a year before there would be a significant change in the level. I don't know how true that is. She has been taking the Levothyroxine for about a month, and if it will help her comfort level and prevent any other symptoms from occurring I would like her to stay on it. We will be discussing this with the Dr when he visits. I was just wondering what others on this site thought of the continued use after being diagnosed as terminal and if it would be of help to the patient.

Oxycontin is a drug I have heard so much about on the news. People getting busted for selling it and pill mills getting shut down. It seems to be a recreational drug of this century. I have read that this drug can not be crushed but is available in liquid form. Carol has a high tolerance of Morphine and Oxycontin seems to be a viable option.

Thanks for your insight and the link.
