After four years if fighting a battle with my Endo regarding side effects of Levothyroxine tablets. Dizziness. Faintness.achick muscles.foggy thinking tiredness!!lots more..he sent me for electocardiograph. And CAT brain scan and tested every drop if blood and vitimin known to man..it all came back normal....dont take anythjng else at all..he finally agreed with me it was something in all five brands of levo I have been taking. Some sweetners/fillers give the above syptoms!!! Today I am starting on it.!!!..will let you all know if syptoms persist!!! Started levi when I was Hyper and syptoms were immediate and went.t on and had thyroid zapped RI .18 mknths ago and became hypo ...syptoms ALL returned when started levo again!!!how obvious is that..however I carried on and eventually he gave up arguing with me!!!but he also said "liquid was very expensive"so i quietly told him I was a fully paid up member of NHS and wanted to be well...not a facelift or a boob job..he looks forward to seeing me again...or so his letter says...doubt it!!keep you all informed..

Hope you find liquid levothyroxine more suitable

I find it really annoying and totally unreasonable to imply patient is being difficult or costing too much money ....

This is not a disease we chose ....or a lifestyle choice

Thank you for your support

I am praying this is my Silver bullet!!and I dont have to trouble "thick"endo any more...luckily my own doctor is very supportive but he cant do a lot unless Mr "Thicky "!ok's it...desperate times for us all... he.might have a medical degree but no compassion or common sense in that head at all....will let you know if I have found my silver bullet!!

Nether Levothyroxine or T3 will work if vitamin levels aren’t at good levels

None of your previous posts show any vitamin results

You are legally entitled to copies of your own blood test results
