Hi, Actually I am not on any medication for CML because i had a bone marrow transplant more then 22 years ago but did develop hyperthyroidism because of all the radiation and chemotherapy I received.
You really don't have to worry about it because there is a very simple solution to the problem. I use a drug called Levothyroxine which is a generic for Synthroid and is very inexpensive and really has no side effects except for making you feel much better. I use a very small dose .075 micrograms once a day. It is a little blue pill that takes your blues away. That's about it for your thyroid problem. I wish you continued health and happiness. And also *18's*. In the Hebrew language the number 18 represents life, which is pronounced as Chi. It is said as if you were clearing your throat.
