I'm on interferon for melanoma and one possible side effect is thyroid issues. Â
Â
I'm having weight gain, extremely dry skin, exhaustion, I'm loosing my hair, constipated etc....
Â
The dr said it could be related to the interferon or it could be my thyroid. Â
Â
So, he ordered a bunch of tests (one I got from stop thyroid madness website) Â but, I haven't been back yet to talk to him about the results. Â So, can anyone help me interpret these?
