Underactive Thyroid

2 Replies

I am new to this site and if anyone as answers to my problem It would be appreciated. I have been on thyroxine for many years now and have started having itchy skin / hives. Also I have persistent itching down below. Sometimes the itch is unbearable. I have been prescribed different creams but nothing seems to help My blood test came back normal. I am wondering if I have suddenly become allergic to my medication.

Love to hear from anyone

If you post your latest test results, with their reference ranges, and say what dose of Levo you are on members can try and help. Also, have you had a change of brand of Levo recently?

Ideally we need to see

TSH

FT4

FT3

Thyroid antibodies

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin

A daily probiotic, something like Danone or a daily probiotic tablet from health shop may help
