So I was diagnosed around 2 weeks ago....

[Kelso91]

Apparently it's only slightly underactive and I take 50mg thyroxine anyway tonight and Sunday I've had this funny fuzzy feeling in my head it's on my left side and is horrible feels almost numb and makes me panic can anyone shed some light?

Hi It is often the case with thyroid disease worse before better. Ask for a print out of all bloods, receptionist , with vital range ( differ). If it is not too bad you may have started on too high a dose for you. I would cut back to half for a week and then go up again You will need a retest in 6 weeks on the treatment, to adjust. I suspect the GP just did TSH, which is useless, and on that is saying it is OK.If you feel terrible this is likely. It is a long process to get the treatment right. Sometimes it needs to be Levo and T3 too.

Best wishes,

Jackie

How strange Kelso, but this was how I was at the beginning of treatment with Levothyroxine 16 years ago. Have not had this feeling for a long time, so can only assume that once you are optimally treated the feeling will go. Hope you improve son. Janet.
