[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 147448, member: 2727"] Hmmm, No diagnosis here, Just a question, Why did the Dr have your difficult child on levothyroxine? My difficult child at 19 just had a complete thyroidectomy (Took whole thyroid)due to a 9 CM reacurring mass and takes the same medication that replaces what her thyroid would and should be producing. "GENERIC NAME: levothyroxine sodium BRAND NAME: Synthroid, Levoxyl, Levothroid, Unithroid DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Levothyroxine is a synthetic (man-made) version of the principle thyroid hormone, thyroxine (T4) that is made and released by the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormone increases the metabolic rate of cells of all tissues in the body. In the fetus and newborn, thyroid hormone is important for the growth and development of all tissues including bones and the brain. In adults, thyroid hormone helps to maintain brain function, food metabolism, and body temperature, among other effects." [/QUOTE]
