Puffy under eye

[Theresa72]

Can a hike in my throid med cause this from 75mg to 88mg lavothroxin

I also have severe fatigue

[Theresa72]

Could it be that I need to get the medicine used to my system or should I go back to 75

Haven't you already asked this question? Or was it someone else? Anyway, I replied that puffiness and black circles under the eyes are hypo symptoms. And, it's not unheard of for symptoms that we didn't previously have, to appear once we start taking lowish doses of thyroid hormone (levo). It should go once you get onto an optimal dose.

She upped my med and now the symptoms are there

[greygoose in reply to Theresa72]

Yes, but as I said, that is not unusual. I developed a whole heap of symptoms when I started levo, but they were hypo symptoms.

I had puffy eye & twitching due to adrenal problem.Check your adrenals/cortisol levels.

[Theresa72 in reply to Juliatom]

I really think this is the problem adrenal Cortisol levels

I have no energy low labido puffy under eyes its not to bad but enough i notice what would they do to treat this problem it seems like it all happened when I started the higher dose

Thyroid is king maker of diseases.

I did not get any help from NHS doctors and higher levo dose will not solve problem without knowing root cause.

For low energy, private adrenal saliva test and FT4 ,FT3 blood tests may tell you reason. Than see private endo or post results here.
