Summary
Levothyroxine, a commonly prescribed thyroid medication, may increase bone loss in older adults, potentially leading to osteoporosis.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins found that older adults taking the drug—even with normal thyroid hormone levels—experienced greater bone density loss over six years compared to non-users.
This poses concerns, especially since some prescriptions may be unnecessary.
Experts recommend regular monitoring of thyroid function and assessing treatment risks versus benefits, particularly in aging populations prone to bone-related conditions.
Oh. Well this sucks for me, I was on that for years.
Was? What are you doing now?
I was taken off it. Unsure why, but the doctor felt my thyroid levels were fine I guess?
I’m currently between doctors because…really stupid corp reasons, so I’ll ask my next doctor for full blood work to see if my thyroid is still weird.
Just do this vax?
Whatever pharma clown shilling be careful.

This is the weirdest haiku.
