I'd like to bring my testimony. I was removed from the thyroid more than 9 years ago because of a 7-MMS capillary carcinoma. Note that now, the medical recommendations are not to remove a papillary carcinoma of less than 15 mms (and the thyroid that goes with), but at the time, I had beautiful ask for an annual surveillance of this carcinoma (perhaps it would not swell?) Before initiating the operation, this was denied me by the doctors and surgeon who cried wolf.... Off is what is advocated now... Anyway... still overdiagnosis... But over-diagnosis that has serious consequences in my life, since, now without thyroid, I can not do without medication to replace the function of my thyroid (one can not live without thyroid). For example if I did not take it at all for six months, I will fall into a coma and die. I had found a balance of TSH via the old Lévothyrox. Still that I can not find this great product (there is much better, sold in the other countries of the European Union) but since they have a monopoly in France... A new wording has arrived on the market: the one you describe. To tell the truth, I didn't even pay attention to it at first. I had some bizarre symptoms of style: untimely tachycardia, sudden and brutal drops of my eyesight, big blows of pumps, but I imputed them to my recent menopause (it is to tell you, I stood on the side of laboratories)... Except that... having recently done a blood test to check my TSH, I saw that I had gone into Hypo! While I am usually quite regulated. And a lot in hypo! Not a little bit!! So I started to learn about this new Lévothyrox and I saw that petitions circulated... I read the contents and, oh surprise, I saw that the side effects they were complaining about were the same as mine! So I would like to be explained how the Nocébo effect can act, without me being aware of this and in addition to collapsing my TSH! I would also like to be explained why this German laboratory sells its new formula only in France and not in Germany. I would like to be explained also why the German patient has him, the choice between different products, and we in France, no! Why the Monopoly? It looks furiously like a hostage-taking for financial interests! Or is it? I stand at the disposal of any doctor Who wants to check my statements, blood analysis to support also, or other medical documents that I can send scanned (or even meet you).
