hi. i have a question. i am getting my thyroid out tomorrow... apparently my thyroid is hypo. does anyone here know what an average start amount is for synthroid or whatever? my cousin takes 375 mg one time a day. that sounds outrageous but of course i know nothing about this stuff. she had gained 60 lbs the first year. and i DO NOT want that... thanks. diane, near philly, pa _______________________________________________________________ Control Your Self-Serve Thyroid Account Here Rules - mailto:[log in to unmask] NoMail - mailto:[log in to unmask] Mail - mailto:[log in to unmask] Not DAILY DIGEST - mailto:[log in to unmask] DAILY DIGEST - mailto:[log in to unmask] Stop Attachments - mailto:[log in to unmask] Force Attachments - mailto:[log in to unmask] Force Subject: [THYROID] - mailto:[log in to unmask] Subscribe - <http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?SUBED1=thyroid&A=1> Unsubscribe - mailto:[log in to unmask] Our Home Page - http://www.Emissary.Net/thyroid/index.html Thyroid Archives - http://LISTSERV.ICORS.ORG/archives/thyroid.html Contact List Owners - mailto:[log in to unmask] _______________________________________________________________
