Exploring Treatment Experiences in Hypothyroidism Secondary to Surgery and Autoimmune Conditions

Our project seeks to understand if our current mainstay treatment for hypothyroidism (levothyroxine) is effective in treating the symptoms our patients are telling us. There have been several publications in the literature to suggest that a significant proportion of patients continue experiencing hypothyroid symptoms despite attaining normal lab values. In this study, we will utilize focus groups to discuss patient's experiences with hypothyroidism and improvements or no improvements with treatment, as well as any burdens of treatment. We will also use a validated, thyroid-specific quality of life instrument ThyPro questionnaire.
