Hashimotos unusual symptoms
I just switched up medication ...I take 50
Synthroid
at night before bed and 30 mg Armour in Am and 15 mg Armour in afternoon) Is it possible to have both hypothyroid symptoms yet feel over medicated? Tried various vitamin routines but I'm not consistent.

Synthroid/Levothyroxine Cough
Prescribed
Synthroid
25 was doing fine side effect symptom wise but hypo, due to lab results on 4.16.19 increased to 50 and I've started to cough (sometimes with phlegm). I know it's the meds because I have never had this problem prior.

Hashimoto’s/Hypothyroidism & No Meds
On
Synthroid
my hair falls out in mass/memory is REALLY bad, but all my tests come back “normal”. Right now I’m totally off meds. No - dairy, gluten, alcohol, grains, sugar, nightshades, soy for the most part. I take magnesium, d3/k2, celery juice, selenium, stuff for gallbladder issues.

Muscle weakness/pain thyroid related?
My TSH was normal in January then jumped to 7.42 in March then went back down to like .67 a month later (after raising my
synthroid
from 137 to 150. My t4 and t3 levels are still low so I’m on 175
synthroid
and 5mcg cytomel twice a day now.

Could my severe and sudden onset of muscle weakness be due to being very hypothyroid for a while?
Last June I fainted and was hospitalized and found out my TSH was up to 17, so the doc increased my
synthroid
from 137 to 150. A month later the nurse at my regular endocrinologist office lowered it back to 137.

Dizzy - Disappointed
Take
synthroid
(thyroid removal due to cancer) , baby aspirin and atorvastatin. Been to EN&T and neurologist and of course my cardiologist - no explanation. Never had a problem prior to surgery. Of course at 74 maybe it is old age-maybe not.

HELP! Has ANYONE lost weight stopping levothyroxine (SYNTHROID)
He put me on 75mcg of
Synthroid

TSH dropping but T4 / T3 not changing.
Was on 75mcg
Synthroid
+ 20mcg Cytomel, but then due to hyper symptoms (multiple BMs, fast pulse, bad fatigue) and blood showing hyper my endo started cut back on meds. We slowly continued to cut back and the last step-down was from 50mg
Synthroid
to zero on Jan 1.

Help with NDT dosage
I’m wondering if I should continue upping my NDT, or maybe eliminate the
synthroid
altogether? (I’m a small fry at 120 lbs, so I worry about overdoing it with the T3).

Latest bloods
From these results my doctor had decided to try keeping me on 75 mcg
Synthroid
and adding 30 mg armour. I will take half of each in the morning and half in the afternoon. Maybe gradually increasing the armour and replacing the
Synthroid
? Does this seem reasonable?

Trying to stay afloat
I am a middle aged female on the highest dose of
synthroid
and my TSH is finally down to 36. I also have fibromyalgia. I am exhausted and in chronic pain. My husband was paralyzed last summer from the waist down. Caring for him is trying on my body.

Hoarse voice new symptom after Thyroid Med increase
Enough to warrant a higher dosage of
Synthroid
? I don't feel better on the increased dose. And am concerned about the hoarseness. I read that hoarseness can be a symptom of hypothyroid however, when I was on a LOWER dose, I did not have this symptom.

Will TSH test be accurate if just starting Progesterone 100 mg?
My TSH went from 1.48 to 3.46 so my
Synthroid
was upped from 50 mcg to 75 mcg. I am going for another blood test to see what my levels are after 6 weeks of being on 75 mcg. However, my functional dr. prescribed 100 mg. of progesterone to help me with sleep issues (I'm 63).
