I am in remission for Hodgkins Disease and one of the many side effects that my doctor mentioned is a Thyroid problem. I was wondering if anyone out there has this? I am curious because for the past several days my face has been rather puffy, I've been very tired. I was wondering if anyone had any of these symptoms as well? thanks, Tami |

I was diagnosed in 1977 and went into remission in 1978. I have been taking synthroid since 1979 when my thyroid problem was discovered. I had been tired all the time and that's how they started looking for something. Although I never had puffiness, I understand the thyroid problem is a common side effect. I go to Dana Farber in Boston for follow ups and there are other long term side effects as well.
Hope this helps. And glad you made it!

Hello Walter, I to have been on synthroid since Jan. of this year but I can not tell that it is doing anything for me. How soon after you started taking it did you notice a difference in the way you felt. Thanks, donna
