My neuro visit

[hairbrain4]

My visit went well, she always takes the time to listen to me when I have issues to discuss. With everything that went on over the past 6 months, she wants an MRI. So I am waiting for the appointment for that. She didn't seem to think that it was the Ocrevus, but the steroids and the Levothyroxine that were interacting with each other as there hasn't been anything reported or at least written about it. That made sense. She also seemed to think the Levothyroxine was the culprit for all my other symptoms too along with the elevated thyroid. Until last year I didn't realize just how much the thyroid interacted with everything else in the body, especially the brain. I knew about hair, skin, nails, energy, depression, and just a feeling of well-being but not the brain. I'll keep you posted on the MRI results.

Sounds like a great appt. The thyroid and different meds don't always mix well together, esp at different doses. Good luck and keep us updated! So glad you have a dr that listens to you

I'm off the Levothyroxine now and I'm doing great with the Armour Thyroid It's an old drug and costs me $40 a month but it works for me and has for years.

I'm on Levothyroxine as well, but I have no thyroid anymore. I have an alarm that goes off at 5:30 every morning that drags me out of bed to take it. Then I go back to bed until I have to get up for work. That way I get it in the allotted time before food. I wouldn't make it if I took it when I get up for work, then have to wait for an hour before I could eat breakfast!

Do let us know of your results!!

Do you have any problems with your hair falling out or itchy skin? Those are side effects of Levothyroxine. After my first full dose of Ocrevus my hair was falling out in gobs and I had been on it for a year before I started Ocrevus. I was having all kinds of stuff going on that were side effects of Levothyroxine that I never had before taking Ocrevus.

Nope. Of course they say that hair loss can be an issue with Aubagio and that has not been an issue for me either.
