levothyroxine how long to work

Last week I noticed my resting pulse raised to 90-100. Consulting with my doctor, he told me to stop taking my Levothyroxine, had me take a TSH test (48 hours off the Levothyroxine) and then sent me to a cardiologist who gave me a clean bill of health. Just a fast pulse, no heart problems. In a few days my pulse returned to normal. I thought it was axiety and started taking Levothyroxine again. How soon after ceasing taking Levothyroxine would the level show in the blood stream?

Those are very common symptoms of Hyperthyroidism , you need to lower you Levothyroxine dose , i also suggest to discuss your doctor to prescribe you brand medicine for thyroid like Levoxyl or Synthyroid which has less filler as compare to generic one. How long have you been in thyroid condition. Does your muscles aches and soreness started after doing little but of work ?

I am getting tired already tho and having back/ hip pain so hoping I can last that long at work. Work as long as I your body will let you.

o lord how did you function at 204! poor thing I'm sorry:( so how long did it take for you to start felling great? I am on week 2 and still feel horrible, and so crazy mine started 5 months after baby as well!

No matter how badly I felt, I got up and went to work every day; the only time I missed work because of my hypo was when I had labs, doctor appointments, etc. If you aren't currently working and you don't have to, the middle of hypo land is not really the time to start looking....... How long had you stayed on the 75 mcg, when your pcp cut you back to 50 mcg? It's not unusual for symptoms to worsen or new ones to show up when a med/dosage is changed.

I am starting to feel better so hopefully it will work for me. It does take a couple months to really see where your going to be with your levels. But I feel a difference already since my body seems to be getting used to it.

Hello again... I just want to ask how long should I go off/withdrawal from my levothyroxine medication (125 mg thyrax) before my tg level blood test as a routine check of any recurring papillary CA? I am from the Phillippines and thyrogen injections here is very costly and i cant afford it. My endo said I have to be off thyroid drugs for 2 weeks before the tg blood test. Is that enough to make me hypothyroid? How long should i go off levothyroxine.

I know you recently had another thread going, but I don't remember your current thyroid hormone levels. Sometimes it helps to be working, because it can take the mind off how we feel. I never missed any work, even at my most hypo, but that's me. As horrible as I felt, I'm kind of glad I did have to get up and go to work or I'd probably have just stayed in bed all the time. I think it's very hard, here, in the U.

Just wanted to let you know I'm in the same boat. Tons of my hair has fallen out, I'm exhausted all the time, my periods are unpredictable... ( even though they were like clock work 6 yrs. ago ) My T4 was .7 and my Dr. told me that I should be about a 1.3. I started 75 mcg 5 days ago and haven't noticed a THING. In fact I think I have become SO MUCH MORE TIRED. After reading up on all this I am beginning to think the endocrinologist is the way to go.

I have been hypo for 12 years. I went to the doctor with hypo symptoms two weeks ago. She gave me an order for lab work. My TSH was up a bit but still at the lower end of the normal range. My FT3 was just under normal. My FT4 was just above mid-range. After researching and posting questions to a few people and reading some of Shoman's and Blanchard's work, I have decided to add some T3 to my T4. I read that Kenneth Blanchard suggests only adding 2% of T3.

Assuming you like working and your job -- perhaps part of this is you not really wanting to go back to what you were doing. But to the doctor, part of your healing is getting you back to doing what the doctor assumes you want to be doing, which is what you were doing before. Medically, this disease is with you for the rest of your life and you will be having to play with the meds the rest of your life. Hope this works out for you, but don't let it take your life over completely.

You can take apple cider vinegar mixed with water on an empty stomach or before meals. You could give this a try to see how you go. Just wanted to add more info from the Stomach Acid article which is interesting.... "Risk Factors and Causes of Low Stomach Acid Allergies Anemia Adrenal fatigue Alcohol Atrophic gastritis Heartburn Gerd IBS Rheumatoid Arthritis Hives Candida and other Yeast Bacterial Dysbiosis or infections in the Gut Adult acne Eczema Alchohol consumption H.

My endo only had me double the dose for 5 days. I hope that they put a limit on how long you need to double yours too. If not, check.

I was literally taught by a Macmillan nurse within 20 min how to change and clean trachyostomy tube. How to use the suction machine to extract gung out of the throat and chest.and how to use the nebulizer . Apply the dressings and how to administer feeds through his stomach g tube.

Oops wanted to add you to my watch list to hear how all goes for you and I forgot to put a check mark in the box--also apologies for such a lengthy post above--lol

Oh my gosh, how frightening! I am new to hypothyroidism so I don't know the answer to your question, but since you have lupus, have you run this situation by your rheumie? Are the two docs exchanging info to best get all of this under control? I hope you begin to feel better soon. Good luck!

I should have said how long will it for the symtoms to begin to go away?
