Levothyroxine and frequent urination

Common Questions and Answers about Levothyroxine and frequent urination

synthroid

Thank you for your comment, did you get high blood pressure or more frequent urinating and back pains? The symptoms I listed above I could deal with but these here I couldn't ignore and my endo told me to quit taking it immediately and we would discuss it next week so maybe he's thinking something else is wrong? I have no idea I guess I will find out Monday when I go to the doctor.
I have been taking levothyroxine ever since. What would happen to me if I just quit taking the medicine all together? I hate taking a pill everyday and sometimes to get refills for up to a week. Just curious......
I'm wondering if I could get to advice as to how much Naturthroid to start verses my Levothyroxine. I have looked up the conversion from Naturthroid's website, but everyone says to go slow. I just had blood work done last Thursday (2-28-13). I haven't gotten the lab report yet, but hoping I will from my doctor's office today. I know I'm probably asking to soon before you have my new labs, but I am wanting to get some good advice .
For the past 3 weeks my urine has been smelling like sugar smacks (sugary cereal). I usually frequently urinate many many times throughout the day and night, but the smell is new. I've been very hungry and thirsty for a couple months now. I have no UTI symptoms and I'm Negative for pregnancy. I am 25 and have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (on Levoxyl for almost 2 years) and Fibromyalgia (on amiltriptyline for 9 months). Should I consult a doctor and get tested for diabetes?
I have a friend who has Diabetes Insipidus. She has a great thirst and urinates frequently also. She doesn't sweat, which is causing her a problem. She has to drink water more often than other people. The doctors have not given her anything to help. I am sorry that I don't have any more information on this disease. - I am glad that your thyroid levels are good.
Hello it is possible the concentration problems, hair loss, and nervousness (because of the frequent urination) are causing you to be stressed. The blue, cold, fingers when stressed are most likely from decreased blood flow to the extremities.
I think this must have affected my immune system because after that, I had frequent colds, flu which I was bed bound for weeks at a time, food poisoning, vitiligo on my back for which the doctors could not explain, severe hypoglycaemia, low oestrogen and cysts on my ovaries. This carried on into my thirties and I noticed I was extremely tired at about age 32. I absolutely hate needles so didn't go to the doctors until I was really really tired.
The most severe symptoms of hypercalcemia are nausea/vomiting, loss of appetite, thirst, frequent urination, constipation, abdoinal pain, muscle weakneas, muscle pain, joint aches (and a sensation of aching bones), lethargy and fatigue. Your age can influence what symptoms you display.... The Levothyroxine can also cause fatigue, so your current fatigue could be related to either :( Have you had your calcium levels checked previously?
Also I'm read the symptoms of type II diabetes here and see that I have the same symptoms like., frequent urinating, thirsty but so often, fatigue, etc etc., so I will have a diabetes check up as well....I think I have that too...:( Regards, Priya.
, mainly sensory issues, muscle twitches, tingling and extreme muscle weekness is my legs, trigiminal neuralgia, frequent urination, neuropathy. My neuro is thinking probable MS. I have no plaques in the mri scans of brain, s,t spine. What could be going on with me? IS the abnormal lab value something that could finally shed light or is it just graves? Is it hashimotos now? I have flucuated, back in the day between hyper and hypo, but attributed the hypo to being over medicated.
pain on top of my esofagus ( it happened 3 times when I had long-haul flights), higher colesterol ( 6.2 when the normal is up to 5.5), passing urine frequently, tiredeness, irritability, blood traces in my urined and over the last 3 months panniculitis on my upper arms. Because of panniculitis ( fat inflammation) I am now investigating Cronic pancreatitis.
The specific test result and its position within the range is very important. Just being somewhere within the range is frequently inadequate to alleviate symptoms. In my opinion the very best way to treat a thyroid patient like yourself is to test and adjust the actual, biologically active thyroid hormones, FT3 and FT4, with whatever medication is required to alleviate symptoms, without being constrained by resultant TSH levels.

It is not true that Armour is difficult to regulate or dirty. In fact, Armour batches have been recalled less frequently than their synthetic counterparts. This is not to say Armour is any better or worse; it is simply important to remember that different patients respond to different medications, and T4-only medications don't work for everyone. It should also be noted that the estrogen women often take during menopause is derived from horse urine.
I was shocked that she mentioned Botox for treating it as well. In all honesty i am used to the frequent urination and it is not painful at all. The tumor/mass in my pelvis has not grown any :) BUT I still have to go see an onocologist for a consultation. They can not biopsy it, so they can not tell what the tissue is. They can not tell me if it is the cause of my other symptoms. Weight loss, night sweats, bone/muscles aches. I decided to wait until after the holidays for that to be set up.
I am looking for what other tests besides dex suppression and 24 urine cortisol could be used to look for Cushing? What type of other indicators could there be on regular blood tests? I am 30 and up until about 2 years ago I was thin and healthy.
-) I haven't been diagnosed with an adrenal disorder, but I believe it is not far off from happening. I have a big round of testing coming up (can't remember them all...

extreme fatigue, excessive fluid retention, my face and hands were staying puffy and swollen(especially around my eyes), weight gain, hair falling out, skin and fingernail changes, severe constipation, decreased urination and urine seemed darker than usual. I kept going and complaining to my doctor. He ordered an ultrasound of my thyroid. I was called and told the results were normal. I finally asked if I could have a thyroid scan performed. He agreed.
I have nothing to work with due to I had a TAH and BSO in 2003 due to cervical cancer and now I truly feel terrible and I cannot take the numbness, tingling, twitches, heart palpitations, hot and then cold, flushing in my face, horrible headaches, increased urgency to urinate but urinate small amounts. I am on 100 mcg of Synthroid and asked to be switched from levothyroxine to the brand name "Synthroid" because I truly think levo was making me sick.
I was diagnosed mildly hypothyroid earlier in the year. I'm on 100mg of levothyroxine. My test numbers are now within euthroid level but my symptoms are getting worse. Until my numbers show this change, my gp wont do anything. I feel really helpless and am completely exhausted to the point my arms and legs ache. I have no energy to try to exercise to lose weight so am just getting fatter. I was seen by a rheumatologist who said they couldn't help.

Her doctors suggested that it might have had to do with the drug she was taking so she wouldn't have to urinate so frequently/urgently. Dehydration, especially coupled with inactivity can also influence clotting. I did see some correlation to Celexa (under RARE side effects) on a quick google search.
He said that many people are kept awake if they do not take their levothyroxine in the morning, but not everyone. Indeed, I have been an exception to the general rule. I sleep noticeably better with a late-day dose than I did when I dosed myself in the morning.
