underactive thyroid

[johnbyrnes]

just received a letter from the hospital saying that i possibly might have a underactive thyroid ,so i have got straight onto my doc to get a blood test on tuesday ,can i take interferon and riba whilst on thyroxine tablets,im not on tx yet ,plus ive got evidence of liver scarring,if its found that i do have an underactive thyroid ,then for the rest of my life i will be on tablets, will this affect my treatment,
thank you john byrnes

I started  levothyroxine about halfway through my 48 week treatment when my thyroid decided it had enough and gave up the ghost. You shouldn't have any problems. As long as you and your doctor are aware of your thyroid issue when you do start treatment, you should be fine. Teuf

my problem is i havent started with treatment yet ,im still on a waiting list for the meds to become available,so fingers crossed i can get this sorted before i start tx,
