I'm taking synthroid, (thyroxine) have hypothyroidism, and feeling ill. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Illness: Hi. I just want to clarify for you that having treated hypothyroidism does not prevent any other illnesses! If you get sick while taking your Synthroid, (thyroxine) go see your doctor! (And don't stop taking your Synthroid!).
