Fed up

Hi all, Started my last batch of levothyroxine, same company as usual same dose as usual but I feel different.

My aches and pains have come back, an electrical sensation down my legs, hair falling out in great clumps, energy very low, weight gain, depression, anger, sweats, poor vision, change in usual behavioral habits including maintaining healthy regime and an unusual desire to eat unhealthy foods.

Just before these symptoms occurred I was feeling very healthy and feeling fitter than I had done in years. I'm starting to believe a feeling of wellness is then followed by illness. Anyone feel the same.

You could make a new post and put the brand and batch number in the title, ask if anyone else is having problems.

Is anything different - have you started a new supplement or medication? Are your nutrient levels optimal?

What brand is this?

Can you see LOT (or B.No) and EXP numbers on the box? Those numbers will also be imprinted on the blister pack which you should be able to see from both the foil and plastic side.

You need to make a new post with this information so that anyone else with that brand and Lot/Expiry information will be alerted.

I can't comment on your supplements as I have no experience of them, but did you start them around the time of the symptoms you describe?

Lot number tc1516

exp 06/2021

All symptoms started within the last three weeks, started new supplements about the same time, have took gingko before with no problems and also flax but from a different company.

I will write a new post, Thanks Seasidesusie xx

So those are Actavis/Accord 100mcg (same tablets, was Actavis, recently changed brand name to Accord, mine around that Lot number were branded Actavis).

The manufacturer/brand name is on the foil back of the blister pack.

Not what you're looking for?
