WOW, if you read through this entire list you must really be dead set on getting to the bottom of things and I admire you. I posted this entire list to show the reader that doctors have their work cut our for them in trying to pinpoint the root cause of a symptom.
My symptoms listed in the title pointed my Oncologist in the direction of performing extra tests on my Thyroid which then indicated that I had high levels. To fix this symptom, I will be taking the lowest dosage of a drug for 90 days to see if there has been any changes in my levels. If not the dosage will be increased for another 90 days and rechecked. I will go through this process until my Thyroid levels out... and, hopefully will not be dramatically influenced by the continue treatment of Opdivo for my Metastatic Melanoma.
