Thyroxine? Low thyroid function??

levothyroxine

Hi, i wonder if anyone could give me some advice. My close friend has been on thyroxine for a few years as she has a underactive thyroid. The dose has varied in years she has been taking it but recently she has been to the doctors as she has been feeling very run down. The doctor has done some tests and said that everything is normal except for her levels are low so he has increased her thyroxine to 200mg. The doctor has told her that she has a very problematic thyroid and if no improvement is seen within 4 weeks she will be admitted and futher tests done. He has indictated that they would be looking for tumours and growths in her throat/neck region, which has terrified her and she is now scared of what they could find. She has been told that no one has ever been higher that 250mg of throxine. Is there any other medication she could be given to help her thryoids? She has had an ultrasound of her thyroids done a few years ago and the sonographer said he could see some shadowing.....
round that area but nothing was ever followed up so we all thought it was nothing to be concerned about. Should she go back to her doctor and mention this or would this be on her files? Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have taken natural bovine thyroid for four years and would never ever go back to synthetic replacement. I feel much better with bovine thyroid.
