Thyroid is out of whack
Hi. I was told to stop incivek by Dr. today because I felt so bad, but then found out my TSH is 9.025 and the normal is .3-3.0 so my question is should I try and continue incivek and work on my TSH level because I know that my TSH is part of the reason that I am so depressed and miserable. I called my Dr. and they said we can talk to Dr. tomorrow? Should I take them tonight when I haven't been told to? I have two weeks left. ???
Are thyroid issues related to PIs? Definitely mentioned as a side effect of interferon.
So what week are you in tx? I would hope, if UND, that my Dr would keep me on tx. Maybe if they get the thyroid straightened out...
Good luck. Karen :)
Good luck. Karen :)
I was UND at week 5 but as the weeks went on it has become unbearable...labs are ok but started to get very depressed and multiple new sx's which I can now relate to thyroid. It feels like because I know now why I am having the new crazy sx's I could handle the next two wks. IDK argh :(
If you are interested in having a look and listen to this presentation ..on the 5th section they talk about managing adverse events and time reduced on Incivek was mentioned.

What do you mean two weeks left? Two weeks of INC. ..so you are at week 10?
Why did the doctor suggest you stop the Inci..?
What were your PCR results and when did you go UND.?
Are you taking meds (synthyroid ) for your hypothyroidism?
If you doctor is experinced with treating HCV then it is always best to take their advice ,especially when it concerns dosing...just wondering why he thought that was best?
Some people here have stopped the Inci. a bit early if their doctors felt the side effects were overwhelming,however "when"you were UND. is important when you and your clinician make that decision..
