Covid booster shot and thyroid levels

[Rosebud1955]

Hello everyone:

I’m just wondering if anyone has noticed new hypo symptoms after taking the new bivalent booster. I had my shot two weeks and started having new joint pains a couple days after the shot. It’s now two weeks later and symptoms have intensified. Pains all over my body, the worse ones are knee pain, wrist pain, heel pain, hip pain, leg pain, lower back pain, pain in my legs, severe pain when climbing up and down stairs, constipation, sleep disturbances.

It usually take me 15 minutes to fall asleep once I hit my bed, now it’s taking me up to two hours. My question is this: Is it safe to add 15 mg of the Erfa tablets to my dose, or should I ride out the storm. My next blood draw is April 2024, we don’t have access to private labs here in Canada, they don’t exist. My daily dose is 90 mg ERFA + 25 mcg Synthroid. I was feeling fairly normal on this dose prior to the booster shot. I don’t have my most recent results handy but will try to find them and post if needed.

Thanks for any advice/suggestions

I only take 50 mcg of synthroid...........I have always slept well before and actually I sleep well now.........blood tests are important and a doctor with a specialty in endochronology should know that. My main horrible problem was my parathyroid and doctors were really pushing the horrible drugs like prolia (horrible side effects) . I did not do that and had a parathyroid tumor removed (Norman clinic in florida) and feel much better....hard to imagine that the original doctor could not "see" a 1 inch tumor in my neck.

The corporation that make synthroid is good about answering questions and did send me a report.........so I would find their e=mail or phone number and request. Also PubMedplus.....on line.

I have stiff joints, but that is probably age related. In the united states all the medical facilities are pushing synthetic drugs. Well, that is probably because it is cheaper but the patents stick with the original drugs like synthroid. Almost all generics are made in china and India and the clean rooms are definitely not up to par. The cost for synthroid has tripled in the last 4 years but that is probably not true in canada...........?? But I will stick with synthroid.

I am adding a naturpath doctor to my protocol...........their perspective is less on the money making side....The body is smart and doctors mess around way too much.

There's a publication (abstract only, alas!) about this (but probably not the vaccine you got): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi...
