Jengibbon, the brain fog and pain are due to hypothyroidism. You haven't been taking Levothyroxine long enough for it to have worked to improve your symptoms. You'll have to allow NatureThroid time to work too.

I also had severe leg pains and was found to be double replaced on levothyroxin. The brain fog is more hypo though, so I'm not sure.

Yes I have had those symptoms, mine were due to low B12 though. This can occur alongside thyroid problems. MariLiz

I had both symptoms, but mine were more or less sorted out once I was prescribed B12 injections and vitamin D (both deficient).

Not what you're looking for?
