levothyroxine and kidney

Have recently been diagnosed with Hashi and have started on levothyroxine but I have noticed since I started taking it that I get chronic heartburn - especially at night making it difficult to sleep, but it attacks me at any time of the day and it gets so bad I just want to curl up in a ball and tell the world to go away ! Does anyone have this problem, is it a common side affect, will it stop as my body gets used to taking the meds or should I be revisiting my GP?

I had a Radioactive Iodine treatment 19 years ago which killed my thyroid, and I had been taking Levothyroxine ever since, until 9/09 when I had kidney stones and a bad kidney infection and was in the hospital in intensive care for a week and off all medication. Since then, my T3 and T4 levels have been all messed up and my Dr. has been trying every combination to get me balanced since then, but has not yet got my system right yet.

they gave me a strong dose of IV antibiotics, and sent me home with macrobid and had done a cat scan and saw I had kidney stones.I was seen again on 9/8 and was given a fifth antibiotic for the UTI.I had another lab done on 9/16. was seen on 9/17 and after all this time of complaining my vagina was on fire they finally did a pap culture. And turns out I had BV and a yeast infection. They also called and said my urine culture came back and to discontinue my antibiotic.

I also had 7 kidney stones in two years and, just before I had surgery, my gut hurt constantly and I was urinating about every 30 mins 24 hrs a day. Hypercalcemia affects people differently and some can be super sick at barely elevated levels, whereas some can seem to tolerate much higher. Whatever the cause, you are getting the "blow off" from your Dr. My advice?

The vet tested the urine back on December 19, and it was diluted, and that was her first clue that he had kidney problems, and CKF was confirmed when the blood results came next day. There're no ticks, but we didn't test for this. Back in July 2016, while still living in China, Bebe had 1st instance of acute Pancreatitis. Not sure what caused it. Maybe, he licked some poisonous substance on the outside of a bag of construction waste that was near by.

I am a retired horse jockey for 7 years now. I raced professionally and had to maintain a certain weight. It got to a point, where i just couldn't shed the last 3 to 4 pounds so I was introduced to the use of Lasix (furosemide). It was accessible for me to purchase a large bottle of the liquid form from a vet on the track and so fir a couple of years I would take 1cc to 2cc, depending on the number of pounds I wanted to lose.

Another good one is Tirosint, which is a gelcap and contains only glycerine, water, Levothyroxine and gelatin. Tirosint tends to be the most expensive, but the manufacturer has programs for those who qualify. Is TSH the only thyroid related blood test that's being performed regularly? What about Free T4 and Free T3? Those are the actual thyroid hormones.

Avoid magnesium carbonate, sulfate, gluconate, and oxide. They are poorly absorbed (and the cheapest and most common forms found in supplements). Side effects from too much magnesium include diarrhea, which can be avoided if you switch to magnesium glycinate. Most minerals are best taken as a team with other minerals in a multi-mineral formula. Taking a hot bath with Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) is a good way to absorb and get much needed magnesium.

I am taking Levothyroxine 100 (been on Synthroid from 88 to 100 just constantly back and forth). I don't have all the tests, been doing one about every 3-6 months, just took one today because of fatigue but the July 08 said "normal". 2-08 was T3 uptake at 23.8L with TSH 2.633 5-08 "low" put me on Syntroid 100 5-07 TSH 3rd 7.377 6-07 TSH 3rd was 0.872 was on Syn 100 so they changed it to 88 8-07 TSH 3rd was 3.225 12-7 "low" put me on the Levothyroxine 100....

hey docs. i was treated recently for ngu and a testi infection. 750 mg of levaquen for 28 days. but this is what i read. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) sertraline (ZOLOFT), widely prescribed for depression, has been associated with a decrease in the effect of levothyroxine. i take zolaft 100 mg daily. i still have testi pain and burning. i am now bieng treated with diflucan for 7 days for a yeast infection. should i be worried. do u think my ngu was wiped out.

To reduce the risk of an error, prescribers should print all orders for Lanoxin and levothyroxine and include the purpose for each drug on all prescriptions. Both the mg dose and the mcg conversion should be listed in all levothyroxine orders and on product labels, such as "levothyroxine 100 mcg (0.1 mg)" or "Synthroid 0.1 mg (100 mcg).

levothyroxine and foot and toe cramps. Existing damage to lumber due to spinal infection that tumored and surround spinal cord and root nurves.

But my appt with him is next week and I will tell him I want t3 and t4 test besides TSH.. I have stopped the levothyroxine for this past week and my hips are really feeling alot better..so I am thinking it has something to do with that med.

I take 50mg of levothyroxine for a border line underactive. Have no ovaries or womb and settled on HRT years ago as a result. Have never ever had bad skin. Until 5 - 6 months after taking Levothyroxine. The amount I take has stopped the terrible frightening symptoms I had. All of my family and friends and myself are so happy that I am now 'normal'. But what about this acne at 43 years of age ?????

But this week my weight started shooting up again my stomach is bloated and I am getting headaches and feeling very dizzy . I checked my blood pressure in cvs and it came to 140/100 which i understand is stage 1 hypertension. I haven't had hypertension before. Is his bcoz of levothyroxine ? I have my next appointment only in June. Will it be advisable to check with my doctor before that.

I had my right kidney and adrenal removed as well as part of my liver and appendix. I had 13 months of chemo and radiation. I recently found out I have hypothyroidism with a tsh level of 62.05 in January. In February my number was still 37. I'm on levothyroxine and they will test again this month to up my dosage. Can anyone tell me how concerned I should be about my whole endocrine system???? I am currently waiting to get in to see an endocrinologist but it could be at least a month!

I stated in 50mcg of levothyroxine 2 yrs ago. 6 months later they bumped me up to 75mcg and within a month I was in the hospital and they brought me back down to 50 again. I do blood work every 3-6 months and there's a slight increase in my numbers each time but I have stayed within the "normal" range. Yes I do have fibro as well.

I had my blood tested and then retested for hypothyroidism. MY TSH was 5.6 the first time. This last test included a T3 and T4 profile. I do not know what these last results were, but my PCP put me on 25 mcg of levothyroxine (after the results of this last test). I had a bout with AFib last year (just the one time) and they think it was caused by anxiety. One of the side effects of the levothyroxine is irregular heartbeat.

My father took 150 micrograms levothyroxine for a year and was 150 micrograms of TSH, T3 and T4 normal, but now has a very low TSH and normal T3 and T4. The doctor lowered the dose of levothyroxine and will now take a dose of 100 micrograms, like me, that I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, but I'm so much thinner and smaller than him. Is this normal? The doctor asks only TSH, T4 and T3, should not ask ultrasonography and thyroglobulin?

Currently I take 137 of Levothyroxine and 25 mcg of Cytomel. I was taking a half tablet in the morning and once in the early afternoon, but I couldn't manage to remember to take the afternoon dose in a timely fashion, and sometimes was kept up at night. I asked my doctor about just upping the Levo and dropping the cytomel, but he seems to think that it's best I'm on both. So I now take the entire dose in the morning and I find this works great for me.

I take 100mcg Levothyroxine daily, my entire thyroid was removed in 2001 due to 9 nodules on it. I have been having severe swelling issues for which they can't find a cause so they tested my thyroid. My TSH was only 0.02 and the T4 Free was 1.7. What does this mean? I also have Hashimotos. Any help will be appreciated. I am female, 56yrs old TC147, HDL 69, LDL 70, Trigs 77. Weight 150 at 5'6". Not expecting all parts removed.

I am 50 years old and have been taking Levothyroxine .175 mcg for several years now. My latest TSH was 0.2. Do I now have hyperthyroidism. Does this explain why I have been having increased sweating, poor memory and poor thought process. Also having alot of aches and soreness in my knees and hands.

Is it OK to use phentermine and levothyroxine together? If not what diet medications are safe to use with levothyroxine? I suffer with such low energy, even though my levels are good.

I have been diagnosed with having a hypothyroid and have been taking levothyroxine for 6 weeks(75mcg's) - how long does it take to see relief with weight.I have gained 20 lbs and have only lost 5lbs since I have started the levothyroxine but my weight is still fluxuating- this past week I have been gaining again even though I still continue my diet and exercise routine.Is there any hope for weight loss?

I have been taking levothyroxine to treat my thyroid problem, I am up to 125mcg. I find no side affects listed about skin problems, but I sure am having them. Anyone have any input?
