I have been on Thyroxin for 30 yrs, no problem, then when
Eltroxin
was changed the problems started. Doctor put my meds up to 225 mcg of Levo daily and I just kept feeling more tired which is why I went to doc in the first place.

GP increases my dose above Endo's
Sore throat didn't look too bad to GP but when she saw my blood test result of TSH 5.27 she increased my Levo
Eltroxin
dosage from.100 to 125 mcg. I questioned this as Endo set 100 mcg as he was cautious about going over the top.

Do I have to stay single because I am hypothyroid
To be honest, I don't know when I will be able to work as I'm currently taking 50 mg
eltroxin
daily, its not working. I'm waiting to see an endocrinologist. I'm just wondering do I have to wait until I am working and my hypothyroidism is under control before I can look for a boyfriend.

Help understanding blood tests and symptoms of Hypothyroidism
I have been on 50g
eltroxin
since my diagnosis. I asked the health nurse in October to do a B12 test and my level was 114, so I received 4 injections of 1000mg B12 for 4 weeks. In November, I told my GP that I would like to return to work, but that I can't function at all.

Does hypothyroidism cause all of this?
My doctor has put me on
eltroxin
and I have been taking it for about 2 months now. I feel a hundred times worse after bein on medication, but my TSH has dropped to 4,8 so it makes no sense to me. Furthermore it seems that my doctor doesn't see a connection with the getting sick all of the time.

Armour dosage correct?
I was on 125/100
Eltroxin
on alternate days before meds switch. My Tsh was 1.9 T4 21 not sure what t3 was. Didn't feel great on
Eltroxin
and went hypo recently. Went hyper on 125
Eltroxin
per day AND also 75
Eltroxin
/20 Thybon over last year. Is 2 grains Armour too much?

Liquid Eltroxin.
Started taking Liquid
Eltroxin

Adrenal Fatigue Succesful recovery
I am struggling with Adrenal Fatigue + Im hypo as well, but Im not medicating the hypo since its advised that 1 resolves the Adr Fatigue first but I cannot seem to get over it + when I tried
Eltroxin
(its a Levo) it really messed me up so I stopped.

Eltroxin
and palps stopped. Went back on Euthyrox and palps returned.

Disaster app with endo
I had to fight for an increase of 100
eltroxin
. It was the final nail in the coffin. I'm seeing my doc on Monday to get referred to a Dublin hospital. They couldn't answer anything I asked they want me to wait until the 9th Jan when endo is back to get answers to my questions no hope of that.

Thyroid-S
At the moment and for many years I have been on 75mcg Levothyroxine and until the change from Goldshield
Eltroxin
I was doing well (apart from weight gain of 3 stone). Since change, and having tried all from this country (and more) I am now experiencing all old non-treated symptoms.

Hypothyroidism and foods to avoid
I have recently been put on levothyroxine 25mcg to add on to the 100mcg
Eltroxin
that I have been taking daily. Blood test also revealed that I now have high cholesterol. I am sluggish, tired and lack motivation to do much. My energy levels have diminished tremendously and I am very irritable.

Problems with change of brand
Hello, 2 months ago I started using a different brand of thyroxine, Mercury Pharma, as
Eltroxin
is no longer available and my supply of it was all used up. I was given this brand as I was told it is the same as
Eltroxin
. Since changing I have noticed problems.

Help with Levo brands
Eltroxin
suited me best, Actavis/Almus was terrible, it virtually disabled me. Mercury Pharma also gives me lots of side effects. Have also tried MP Levo liquid but I have problems with that too. Has anybody else had similar experiences, but found Wockhardt to be better?

Nightmare!!
I was doing fine on the
eltroxin
for all of those years. My doctor is very patronising and doesn't have any idea about RT3 and doesn't believe in giving NDT.
