I have just found out that in jan last year I was given 20mcg of this for 2 weeks at the time I was on 100 mcg and been left very under active for 4 months
By may 2012 had been admitted to hospital with stroke like symptoms not thank god but now take 300 mcg Levi and have TED and pretibial myxedema and not feeling any better
Why would they not explain what this was and why would they not to think to give me it again for longer????????
So confused I am waiting to speak to gp regarding this xxxxxxxx
