Feeling awfully hypo
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's last April, on 50mcg of
Synthroid
(levothyroxine). I should be on a higher dosage but can not tolerate it. When I was first diagnosed they had me on 100mcg and I was over medicated.

NORMAL, BUT STILL HYPO!!!!!
My PCP continued to treat me basically the same amount of
synthroid
meds and my thyroids literally crashed. At this point, I was extremely ill and yet my PCP refused to refer me to an endocrinologist.

Question on Absorption, Dose Increase, and Zoloft interaction. Doctor taking too much time!
A few days later, now having begun 88mcg
Synthroid
, I also began Adderall for ADHD. Previously keeping an hour between
Synthroid
and breakfast, I would take Adderall 20-30 minutes after
Synthroid
.

Acute Pelvic Pain
Has anyone else experienced stabbing pelvic pain and muscle spasms in upper legs while on
synthroid
? For background, I had my thyroid removed a year ago for cancer and then had radioactive iodine. I’m currently on 150 mcg for
synthroid
and it’s working fine.

At wits end with Thyroid
I am currently taking 62.5mcg of
Synthroid
. I have been for 6 weeks. TSH 1.66 (.5- 4.5) Ft4 1.6 (.8 - 1.8) Ft3 2.7 (2.3- 4.2) It is possibly my own fault for originally going up way too quickly on my
Synthroid
and causing a reverse t3 problem (rt3 18).

Alternating Doses
So she told me to stop the cytomel and just take
synthroid
125. I have been for a week and a half and i am either wired and anxious or super fatigued and weak. I am thinking of taking the
Synthroid
125 one day and the next take 100
Synthroid
and my 5 Cytomel, and repeating that cycle.

Questions
Presently my file shows mylan levothyroxine,
synthroid
and omnipaque 300. I have a snp that is called APS trait. I also have snp that says likely to have multiple chemical sensitivity. I was referred to a Hemetoligist and rheumatologist.

Help with numbers switch to Armour?
I was hoping someone can look over my numbers and tell me if I would benefit from switching from
Synthroid
to Armour Thyroid. My doctor is fine prescribing Armour to me but do not want to do it if it is not going to help. I currently take 50mcg of
Synthroid
.

Thyroid Ultrasound for Hashimotos?
He explained that the risk of increasing
Synthroid
, if we were to dose to bring up FT4/FT3 while ignoring TSH, is to make my body dependent on
Synthroid
and kill the thyroid, so I’d have to take
Synthroid
for the rest of my life.

Timing medication.
I am on 50mcg
synthroid
and recently dr. Added 10mg liothorine (t-3). I took medicine at night. Since dr. Added the t-3 should I take that at a different time from
synthroid
which is brand name for Levo? Thanks for help.

Bone loss from thyroid meds Levothyroxine.
Prescription medications that contain thyroxine such as Levothyroxine,
Synthroid
, etc. or thyroid hormone replacement drugs are linked with bone loss and osteoporosis. Unfortunately, many times the consumer is unaware of this long term outcome.

Ultrasound Results Normal, Confused
Finally climbed to 112mcg
Synthroid
, TSH now 0.26 (just under range), T4/T3 at 37%/36%. Since TPOab and TGab in range, ultrasound performed and found normal ruling out Hashimotos.

GP visit for Thyroxine prescription renewal
Never once have I seen the GP's do what I used to be used to them doing regularly in the States where I never had this kind of trouble about getting an adequate amount of
Synthroid
which is what is normally prescribed over there.
