My thyroid shrunk with 125 mcg of Syntroid

[Lucas22]

Hello.

I had an ultrasound of the thyroid gland after 1 month taking 125 mcg of Syntroid.

The ultrasound showed that my thyroid is atrophied, with a total volume of 5.2 cubic centimeters, when the normal is to have 8 to 12 cubic centimeters.

My question is whether it is normal for the thyroid to atrophy after taking the medication or if I am already going for a diagnosis of Atrophic thyroiditis. The strange thing is that I don't have Hashimoto, my antibodies are always low.

The ultrasound report says the following: An ultrasound study showing signs of a probable sequel to a chronic inflammatory process.

The last ultrasound done last year showed my thyroid with normal volume

You don't have to have high antibodies to have Hashi's. 20% of Hashi's sufferers never have over-range antibodies.

But, if your thyroid has atrophied, it sounds like Ords. Ords is Hashi's without the goitre. I very much doubt if the Synthroid caused your thyroid to shrink - not in a month, anyway.
