Advice needed please. Euthyrox

Hi Everyone,

i wonder if you can help? My 14 year old daughter has been on 50 mcg Euthyrox for her Hashimotos and has been doing fine. Recently she has complained of leg pains and hand pains, and she has sores in the corners of her lips. Any suggestions? Is it related, and does it indicate some sort of vitamin deficiency?

Janine58,

Symptoms could be due to under medication or low ferritin, vitamin D, B12 and folate. Ask your daughter's GP to check that 50mcg is sufficient dose and to test the vits and minerals above which are frequently low or deficient in hypothyroid patients. Your daughter could also supplement magnesium citrate and use magnesium oil spray and Epsom salt baths to see whether leg and hand pain improves.
