Underactive thyroid

[Daviespat]

I have had my levothyroxine cut to 25mg as day I have been on them for 7 weeks had a blood test doctor said he was happy with it ,but. These last few days my neck has been itching,could it be the effects of my dosage anyone else, had the same.

Daviespat, do you have your results? Can you post them here? That would give people a clearer idea of where you are.

If you Don't have them, ask either the receptionist or your doctor for a print-out. It is your legal right to have your results. You can't always trust your doctors opinion of what's good and what's bad because he doesn't have to live with it!

I take 125mg four days of the week, and 100mg the other three, but lately my neck has become so itchy. I too would like to know if this is thyroid-related. No help to you, Daviespat, but at least you know you're not alone.

On 90 mg of NP Armour, has been increased several times over past 6months. Before any treatment had horrible itching all over all the time, no visible signs of skin irritation. Every time they increase the dose the itching leaves for a few weeks and then returns, but it's never as bad as before I started thyroid meds.

I have had the same but I get in more on my back. Mine is like a hot burning itch.

I got it quite bad a few weeks after I started levo.

It did eventually settle down but sometimes reoccurs when I increase my levo. then settles again. Hope your settles soon.

Glad to hear I'm not alone this site is very helpful better than the doctors thank you all.

I get itchy when I'm under-medicated and it goes when I increase my dose.
