My Thyroid Still Works!

I've recently read that our thyroids produce about 300 mcg of hormone a day. Based on my old Synthroid dose of 112 mcg, that means that about two-thirds of my thyroid is still working!?!? Those are the highest doses for both Armour and Synthroid so that sounds about right.

My sister-in-law didn't think my thyroid was working much because she doesn't have a thyroid and she was on the same dose of Synthroid as I was. However, it appears that parts of my thyroid are still alive and well! Yippee! That's great news.
