Has anyone has twitchy calves as a side effect of Levothyroxine? Does my dosage need reviewing?

[Mark_Hen]

The last few weeks I've had really twitchy calf muscles, nothing dead spasm-like, just little ripples.

Before being medicated it was my calves that really showed my signs of hypo, so I'm inclined to think its something thyroid related.......

This has been happening to me too. I have a lot of symptoms though. I have Hashis and take 3/4 armour and 50 mcg synthroid. I don't understand it.

Hi Mark_Hen

I hope you are in good health.

Just reading your post about the twitches in your calves.

Can I ask. Do you still have them?

Best wishes

B.

This is one of my main hypo symptoms!

I also get it in my eye!

Hi I get lots of twitches in my legs and occasionally my eye. It comes on mainly at night when at rest in bed but can often happen just sat at a desk in work and my legs can just start pulsing? Had it for years now, but my GP just looks at me strangely. I know it is linked to hypo thyroid. I have endless bizarre symptoms which I am certain are caused with the levothyroxine meds. 😥

It’s not the meds. It’s a hypo symptom.

Thanks Meanbeannyc for clarifying you sometimes think you are going mad when random things just happen with your body that you have no control over. 😥

No problem!
