Different brands levothyroxine
Hi , after speaking with my doctor ( after the endocrinologist debacle) it was agreed that I would try a different brand of levothyroxine due to various side affects I've been having .Different people seem to get along with different brands. I've tried Teva and Eltroxin so far. Just picked up my prescription

The Plot Thickens…
I posted a few days ago about shoulder pain. It has got worse and is in both shoulders and is affecting my neck. It is far worse in the morning. My Osteopath gave me a private doctor’s contact details so I could see them for a cortisone injection. I had the appointment this morning and it turned out

Feeling dizzy, breathless, jelly legs 3 hours after my dose
Hey everyone, Any ideas on this? I feel okay in the morning, okay late evening, but few hours after taking thyroid meds I start to feel tired, dizzy, breathless and my legs are like jelly. I take 86 mcg T4 and 23 T3 in Armour and synthetic T3 combined. I'm in a process of eliminating Armour and adding

A better appointment today!
After months of visiting the doctors surgery and having small levo increases with no change in my symptoms i have finally seen a sympathetic and intrigued doctor. He was reading my notes whilst i was explaining my symptoms and that 50mcg levo isn't cutting it, he stopped me in my tracks and said "no

How much to increase?
Good morning allI've had a few creeping symptoms recently, very irritable, less energy, needing to nap or rest more, niggles in my left hand and wrist, a morning of brain fog, a few palpitations which all seemed to come to head with very bad PMT last week when I was very tearful for a few days. I have

So pleased to have found this forum! I had a routine blood test followed by a call from the GP asking me questions about how i was feeling. I get tired easily but put all symptoms like that down to getting older and haven't really any other symptoms. I had glandular fever age 18 and since then have

First six-month blood test, and my lymphocytes have gone down!
I’m soon to be 55. I was diagnosed in the UK with MBL this summer. My lymphocytes were at six with over 50% of them monoclonal cells. I’ve just had my six-month check. I’ve come down to 4.8. I know that these numbers can move around quite a lot, but for now I’m really happy with the trend. I did change

Could chronic urticaria be related to underactive thyroid?
I've had under active thyroid for 5/6 years and have been on a dose of 50mcg of Levothyroxine for all of this time. This year I developed chronic urticaria and then a different kind of dermatitis/eczema and I want to rip my skin off it's so itchy. This week I did an Advanced Thyroid Function Blood Test
