Levothyroxine v levothyroxine sodium
Hi, looking at my stash of unused thyroid medication I have only just noticed - it's only taken me 20 years!!! - that my 50mcgs of t4 are simply levothyroxine, but many of my old 25mcgs are levothyroxine sodium. Does anyone know what the chemical difference is? It is funny because I always asked for

B12 help
Can taking iron and vitamin d affect b12 levels. I have all symptoms of b12 deficiency and levels went up slightly to take me over 200 since took iron. Have I got a case to put to my gp? Any help appreciated.

Levothyroxine and Raloxofene ( Evista) - does Evista prevent Levo being used properly?
Just read some research that taking Raloxifene with Levo is a no no - ( drug interaction renders Levo useless as it can't be absorbed in presence of Raloxifene) . I am very concerned as I have been on both for years - and have gained 2 stone - my TSH was 3 (on 100mcg Levo) but Labs refusing GP request

Can Hashimoto's cause iron deficiency?
'Cos my ferritin has dropped steeply from 65 to 14. Haemoglobin is still normal at 13.4 (for now). Basically, to recap, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease last year. GP put me on Levothyroxine, couldn't stand the side-effects, and stopped taking it. However, my TSH went from 5.6 to 11.2 and I started

Iron & levothyroxine.
I`m on 50mg of Levothyroxine a day for hypothyroidism, & according to the leaflet that comes with the tablets, you can`t take iron with them. Iv`e read that taking an iron supplement can sometimes help with RLS, so is there any way I can take extra iron without interfering with my thyroid meds?

Re Chronotherapy body clock and thyroid meds.
I find this interesting and hope it will help us all but I'm still trying to get my head around it. I know I'll never make a scientist. I read Paul Robinson's book and did some readings for him. He was kind enough to comment and I have been following his advice. Except for the early tablet. It seems
