goiter

what could cause the inability for me to handle synthroid and if i could handle it would the goiter ever reduce itself in size. and is there a way to shrink the goiter, with out major surgery, and the fear of further damage,  i sleep 3 hours a day along with sleeping at night

Sometimes insomnia happens with too high a dosage of thyroid meds.  What is your TSH and what is the level of your synthroid?

They say there is a possibility it'll shrink, but on the other hand, Dr. Lupo on our expert forum said that new guidelines don't show marked improvement, but I'm only a patient like you and not a doc so do ask your own doc.
