SIDE AFFECTS OF HASHIMOTO'S

[MiniC]

GOOD DAY. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT GET SKIN RUSH...LIKE SHINGLES? MOSTLY ON MY NECK AND FACE...WHAT DID YOU USE, PLEASE?

[SeasideSusie Remembering]

Hi MiniC and welcome to the forum.

Which brand of Levothyroxine are you taking? All tablets have fillers and some people can react to certain fillers.

Do you always have the same brand or are you taking a new brand and the rash has started since the change?

I would just point out that using capital letters on an internet forum is considered to be shouting, so perhaps you can please ensure that you disengage caps lock when posting in future

Hi,thanks for the welcome.I am from South Africa. The name of the Levothyroxine that I use is Euthyrox. 100mcg

I used Eltroxin also 100mcg for almost 40 years, then they changed it, and there was to much complaints about the new formula. The dr changed my prescription to Euthyrox.

I used it now for 2 years. With the Eltroxin I get the "rush" for the first time about six years ago. It comes and goes...the same with Euthyrox.

I also use Tertroxin 20mcg every other day, but take every day the Euthyrox.

I've been through a lot of trauma, about six years ago. After that I started to get the "rash" in my face and neck.

I can't eat Gluten also.

I have to do blood tests again..last done..two years ago.

Do you mean rash - urticaria (also called hives) is very common with Hashimoto’s

Getting dose levothyroxine fine tuned should help

How much levothyroxine are you currently taking

What are your most recent Thyroid and vitamin results

Hi MiniC

Can you please tell us / show us what this rash looks like?

Of interest to me because I have something similar-ish sounding.
