Thyroid hormone doses

[helvella]

Most doses of thyroid hormones (levothyroxine or liothyronine) are in micrograms - abbreviated mcg.

Members here will mostly understand if you make a mistake. But it really does help to get this right when talking with (or writing to) doctors. It is an immediate "win" in terms of showing your understanding.

There is a section on various measurements in helvella's Vade Mecum document which is available here:

helvella - Vade Mecum for Thyroid

The term vade mecum means:

1. A referential book such as a handbook or manual.

2. A useful object, constantly carried on one’s person.

helvella,

Your useful referential hand book (or manual) to be constantly carried about one’s person is an absolute work of art and dedication. I wish the forum had more room for pinning or listing or whatever because it does get forgotten sometimes.

Thank you for compiling, and this remainder of its existence 😊

Thank you. (Blush, blush. )

The best thing is to visit my blog!

That link is also in my profile here so easy to fund again. There is lots more than the Vade Mecum!

I think the forum should write a book ... 'A Patients Guide to Treating Thyroid Disorders' as we have such an extreme hoard of wealth here. Your VM & other could provide the foundations! 😁

Great idea... and money raised from sales could be used to fund research!

On my blog, I have some "Third-party pages".

Maybe I could create a NEW blog (separate it from me/helvella to some extent) and put "chapters" there?
