facial and neck swelling part of Hashimoto’s?
I have a doctors app booked for this week but at the weekend my sister noticed my face was swollen. She also agreed my clavicle area was too (I’ve previously posted a pic here). She took some pics for me which I’ll post and you can really see the difference from when it’s swollen vs not! She said it

Any information about Levothyroxine, pros & cons please.
Hi could anyone give me any information on which is the best tablet to help with Thyroid. I have tried previous tablets in the past but these cause me to have severe anxiety. So the actually issue isn't that I have too much or too less thyroid, I have been told the pituitary gland is having to work harder

please could someone advise on my results. I’m currently taking 100 Levo and 5 lio. I’m taking a private prescription for the lio but am attempting an IFR with the NHS as I don’t think 5 is enough and it’s too expensive for me to buy. My weight continues to go up and I’m convinced it’s because my medication

13 months post thyroidectomy fatigue
I can't seem to find the right dose. Hair loss, dry skin, puffy face, sirens in ears!, severe fatigue.
I was on 75 for 4 days, 88 three days. TSH was 1.16. Up from .69. I felt better and then BAM after 8 weeks terrible body spasms, and more. TSH was 6.01! Doctors: back to 88 for 6 days and 75

Not sure whether the Levo will be

Do My Symptoms Have Anything To Do With My Lowered Levo?
I am getting so fed up. The doctor put my Levo down from 100mcg to 75mcg a few months ago, she wouldn’t have it that I felt better on a higher dose. I’m pretty sure I talked about this previously in a post. But lately my digestion has been bad, I am so tired in the afternoon that I’m yawning a lot

Blood test
I always have my blood test when I have taken levothyroxine in the morning. I would have thought I should not have taken it on the morning of the blood test. I am always feeling cold and my heart is racing and have mentioned this to the doctors today. Any advice, please.
