Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | Anybody have post Tx thyroid problems? What did that look like? My TSH numbers keep creeping up - from 2.9 to 4.0. It's still within acceptable limits and I don't have any other symptoms. It's been over 20 months since the end of treatment. Has anyone seen their numbers go down again or is this a one way deal to synthroid?
My understanding is that thyroid failure starts showing up at 18 months post Tx. So am I right on schedule?
