On June 7, 2014, endocrinologists will gather in Los Angeles, CA for a one-day symposium focusing on various thyroid-related issues.
One of the sessions is titled: “Challenges in Thyroid Hormone Therapy: Why Does It Seem So Complicated?”
On the one hand, it’s promising to think that a group of prominent endocrinologists are joining together to discuss this important issue. The endocrinology community, after all, is not typically known for acknowledging — much less being curious about — the complexities of thyroid hormone treatment. The tendency is usually to prescribe Synthroid, Levoxyl or another brand name or generic form of levothyroxine, and then write off any unresolved symptoms as unrelated to the thyroid problem, as a consequence of poor lifestyle choices, or even, as a somatoform disorder, also known as a psychosomatic disease.
