Hi CML Mom,
I think I read about the reduced possibility of thyroid function on the blog - could have been Trey.
As I got colder and colder and more and more sluggish, I mentioned it to the onco who shrugged off correlations with the thyroid. So I went to my internist who ran a blood test - showed that it had slowed down a lot. I am already on .05 mg Synthroid.
Now I've increased my intake of foods with iodine and I believe walking every day this week has helped me LOTS with reduced fatigue. I doubt the food would affect me so rapidly so it must be the effort I am making to MOVE !! Am also wondering if like the blood counts and liver enzymes which plummeted and went back to normal, if the thyroid will do the same.
Meanwhile hope you can 'move' your son and hope he can blog to have his own personal age appropriate support group!!
I know how difficult it must be for you but keep on advocating!
Good luck,
