The story is not so remarkable: there is no harm from taking synthetic thyroid hormone, and your TSH is monitored while taking it such that I think the mistake would have been discovered later.

>there is no harm from taking synthetic thyroid hormone

Where are you getting this crazy idea? Have you ever known anyone who took it? I have two relatives (not biological) on synthroid and even small changes in doses have massive effects on their metabolism, tiredness, etc. Taking thyroid hormone when you don't need it is not harmless, just like any drug or hormone.

Hm, okay. Apologies for the misinformation.
