Sara Rosenthal has refused the opportunity to respond to the patient community’s concerns about her controversial article on Patient Misconceptions and Ethical Challenges in Radioactive Iodine Scanning.

In a phone call today, Rosenthal conveyed that she has no interest in or intent to respond to patient concerns. Rosenthal stated that the article was not intended to be read by a lay, non-medical audience, and suggested that the outcry from patients — and patient advocates including Elaine Moore and me — was further evidence that we misconstrued her article, and that this sort of journal was meant only for medical readers, as the patient community clearly could not properly interpret the information.

Should You Take Your Thyroid Medication Sublingually?
A look at whether using thyroid medications sublingually can help with better absorption, or allow for use alongside products that impair absorption. Should thyroid patients take natural desiccated thyroid drugs like Armour Thyroid, Nature-Throid and Erfa sublingually, and does it allow them to then take coffee, calcium, iron or food at the same time without affecting or impairing proper absorption of the thyroid medication?
Should You Take Your Thyroid Medication With Vitamin C?
In patients who take their thyroid medication but aren’t able to achieve their target TSH level, researchers studied whether taking vitamin C along with levothyroxine medications i.e., Synthroid, Levoxyl, Levothroid, etc. could affect TSH levels. The results were quite surprising.
Should You Take Your Thyroid Medication at Bedtime?
Should You Take Your Thyroid Medication at Bedtime? Every thyroid patient has heard the advice that for best results, we should take our medication first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, and wait at least 30 minutes to an hour before breakfast. But new research reported in the journal Clinical Endocrinology found that taking the same dose of levothyroxine, for example Synthroid, at bedtime, as compared to first thing in the morning, might be better. Should you change the way you take your thyroid medication? Thyroid patient advocate Mary Shomon takes a look at the answer.
Should You Take Your Thyroid Medication at Night? Taking Levothyroxine at Bedtime. Thyroid Medication at Bedtime - The Best Time to Take Thyroid Drugs
Thyroid patients have always been told to take their medication in the morning, on an empty stomach, before breakfast. Several studies are now showing that taking thyroid drugs like levothyroxine at bedtime may help improve absorption of thyroid medication and ease symptoms. Thyroid patient advocate Mary Shomon explores the issue.

Should You Take Your Thyroid Medicine Once a Week?
Should You Take Your Thyroid Medicine Once a Week? In some cases, doctors have recommended alternative ways of taking levothyroxine (i.e., taking all your levothyroxine once a week, rather than daily) to help ensure that patients are actually taking their medication at the prescribed dosage. But does taking all your levothyroxine for the week at one time — versus taking it daily — have an effect on your thyroid or your heart? Researched studied the issue, and have some interesting findings for patients. The researchers found that the weekly approach had no negative effect on cardiac stress in the weekly dosage group. The weekly dose was not only well tolerated but preferred by the majority of patients. According to the researchers, weekly levothyroxine administration was demonstrated to be well tolerated and safe; hence, it represents a valid therapeutic option for patients who find adherence to a rigorous treatment regimen difficult. What does this mean for you? If you have difficulty remembering to take
Should Your Doctor Treat Your Hashimoto's Even if Your Thyroid Tests are Normal?
If your TSH test results say “normal,” you may think that is the end of the discussion, as far as a “thyroid problem.” But for some practitioners, it’s not, especially if you have the autoimmune condition known as Hashimoto’s disease. Can thyroid treatment help your autoimmune thyroid disease even if your TSH is “normal?”
Should Your Doctor Treat Your Hashimoto's When Your TSH is Normal?
Should Your Doctor Treat Your Hashimoto’s When Your TSH is Normal? You’ve heard it before…you have what you feel are thyroid symptoms. Your TSH is normal, but you test positive for the presence of thyroid antibodies — meaning, you have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. But your doctor doesn’t want to treat you, because of the TSH blood test results. Should you be treated or is your doctor doing the right thing?

Some Patients Paying as Much as $85 for a Three-Month Supply of Thyroid Medication Levoxyl
Some Patients Paying as Much as $85 for a Three-Month Supply of Thyroid Medication Levoxyl Consumer Reports has released a study that found that the same bottle of pills can vary by as much as $100 or more, depending on the pharmacy you’re using. To conduct the study, Consumer Reports contacted 163 pharmacies around the country, to evaluate the different prices for three name brand prescription drugs, and one generic medicine. Levoxyl (the brand-name levothyroxine medication for hypothyroidism) had prices ranging from $29 to $85 for a three-month supply. The drug Detrol, prescribed for urinary incontinence, had prices ranging from $365 to $551. Plavix (a drug for preventing blood clots), ranged in price from $382 to $541. The generic drug alendronate for osteoporosis ranged from $124 to $306. According to Consumer Reports, Costco had the lowest prices for the four drugs, followed by AARP.com and Wal-Mart.
