Welcome to our forum and Euthyrox is levothyroxine (common name). I am not sure at all what the equivalent 7.5mg is to levothyroxine which is usually in mcg.

She can take panadol away from euthyrox - I would suggest three hours apart. She could also take it at bedtime if she takes euthyrox first thing when she gets up.

Never accept the word 'normal' with regard to results and instead always get a print-out of the results with the ranges. This allows the members to respond positively.

She has to make an appointment with GP to palpate her throat and if he cannot do so he should refer her to an Endocrinologist, particularly as she is in pain.

Euthyrox is levothyroxine (common name) and should be taken first thing on an empty stomach with a full glass of water and wait about an hour before eating.

All other medications should be taken 4 hours apart at least.

On the morning of a blood test she should allow a gap of 24 hours between last dose of Euthyrox and test and take it afterwards. The test should always be at the very earliest possible to get the best results.

Always get a print-out with the ranges and you can post them for more comments. If she's not had B12, Vit D, iron, ferritin and folate tested, ask for these to be done at the same time.
