I have similar question. I am on Levothyroxine - 100 mcg a day. The reason for that high dosage was to keep my thyroid from going cystic, which it kept doing, so the surgeon said, let's shut it down for a while. My T- scores from my bone scan today were higher than I wanted to see, so I am also wondering if my dosage might be too high....When I have my blood tests for thyroid levels, they measure high, but everyone is reluctant to change the dosage because then my thyroid might start growing again. I am really wanting to know whether consistently high levels of thyroid hormone can contribute to bone density reduction.
