Eyesight

[barb62]

Is anyone experiencing blurred vision or could it be fatigue. On 75 levo for hypo. Diagnosed in march this year. Eyetest in march was fine.

How are your B12 and VitD levels ?

[barb62 in reply to Marz]

last count b12 mid range and vitamin D at the top

[Marz in reply to barb62]

Were you supplementing at the time ? - or are you now ?

[barb62 in reply to Marz]

have always supplemented Marz

[Marz in reply to barb62]

In that case your B12 result would be skewed due to supplementing - not a true result. I only ask as B12 is involved in the myelin sheath that protects nerves including the optic nerve. Before I was injecting myself with B12 weekly I had an eye issue which has happened again.

Low VitD connected to macular degeneration ...

Did you take Teva brand back and get Mercury Pharma 25mcg replacement?

Could just be you are ready for next dose increase after 6 weeks on 75mcg

[barb62 in reply to SlowDragon]

yes I did get the Teva replaced. Bloods on Thursday, am sure they will increase AFTER I EXPLAIN MY BLOOD RESULTS TO THE DOCTOR!!!!!

My eyesight changed a lot in the months before diagnosis and then changed back again gradually when I started Levothyroxine. When GP reduces my dose I get blurred vision.

Arrr, this has happened since I started taking ppi's and since they are said to reduce the absorption if Levo, then your theory makes sense. I have stopped taking the ppi's and I have bloods tomorrow morning. Results should be interesting thanks Dot
