Gonna need a lot of Levoxyl or Synthroid down the road
Yes - and fashionable scarves to cover any neck scars.
I was reading that there is a stigma against marrying those whose families come from Nagasaki - the Japanese are afraid offspring will have genetic deformities from the bomb. So too these children may be ostracized on the marriage market if they are seen as having been exposed to radiation - that neck scar could be a problem. In addition to physical illnesses, the parents are probably worried about their children’s futures socially as well.
‘_______or Synthroid down the road.’
Better yet, Armour thyroid.
Except not the junk we (the U.S.) got recently after it was ‘reworked.’
If one is a long time user, you know what I’m speaking about.
Check thru Canada Pharmacy. They use an ‘armour’ product called ERFA - a desiccated product, maybe from Belgium.
Your doctor or NP writes a prescription for armour, then calls or faxes it to Canada Pharmacy, and they know what to do.
