Do any of U with thyroid probs have MS?

Well I`m a newbie to this board. Hello! I have MS and I take Avonex for it. About 1 1/2 years ago Biogen the makers of Avonex started warning about Your thyroid. Said your levels should be checked. At that time I was already DX with hyper thyroid. I just had a uptake scan done. I think I going to have the Radiation. Do you think biogen should have known this? Let me know any thoughts.

Should Biogen have known about connection? It's amazing that they even give advice in that area, considering the ignorance that abounds about thyroid conditions!! It's not like their medication is causing the thyroid condition. It's really up to doctors to bemore educated on the ramifications of thyroid disease and how it interacts with so many other conditions. If you have any questions on your hyperthyroid condition, please feel free to ask! How are you feeling with your MS? Does the medication help? Cathy
