At age 16, I was prescribed Thyranon for Hypothyroidism

Being a woman never has been easy for me...
On my Angel sister's Birthday, January 11, 1967, I got a prescription of Thyranon, before my 16th Birthday.
That in order to regulate my too low Basal Metabolic Rate and my too short cycles...
This Thyranon hormone got slowly reduced and stopped in 1969.
I felt less cold and had a far better cycle.
During a laparoscopic surgery my gynecologist found out that my uterus was on the small side.
Thyranon hormone was a brand of animal thyroid hormone powder.
It was later in 1987 removed from the market...
Whether a dose was sufficient was checked on the basis of complaints and metabolism (heart rate, metabolism).
January 25 of 2010 I had this nuclear test done for checking my thyroids
Iodine – 123 (I – 123) sodium iodine in capsules or liquid form. I had to drink it...
It are radioactive isotopes of iodine used in the field of nuclear medicine for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, paraticularly for evaluating thyroid function.
