synthroid

Avatar n tn Have you had any problems with your thyroid meds since your RAI? I was doing well on Synthroid with TSH at 5.16 at the end of Jan. 08. My doc then switched me to Levoxyl 125 mcg, had bad reactions 2 1/2 mos later--hyperthyroid type symptoms. Back on Synthroid at 50 mcg and still waiting for my breathing to get totally better, but starting to feel swelling of the thyroid (slightly) on the right side. Endo says that the breathing can't be related, but research says it is.

Avatar n tn PRECAUTIONS: Before taking levothyroxine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This medication should not be used if you have certain medical conditions. Before using this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have: overactive thyroid conditions (e.g., thyrotoxicosis), a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction), adrenal gland problems (e.g., uncorrected adrenal insufficiency).
Avatar n tn 5) could you please tell me about these results if everything is ok ? Also he is now 1.5 month old so what else tests and precautions we shud take ..
Avatar m tn s own thyroid hormone? I am borderline, TSH between 3-5 and I have tried generic synthroid, (gave me severe joint pain all over my body) armour (elevated blood pressure) and then brand synthroid (joint pain in fingers only, increase in ADD symptoms) and even though the brand synthroid 25mcg improved my energy for awhile, that effect is decreasing and I have gained weight in my stomach area which I noticed within 3 weeks of taking it.
Avatar f tn Yes you can be pregnant if you did not use protection. I got my positive 2 days before missed period was very light positive then 2 days after missed period i had a 2 dark lines. You should be able to get a positive 2 weeks after your missed period if you get negative then your not pregnant pg test are more sensitive this days that can detect low hcgs. Good luck wish you the best.
Avatar n tn I would like to know whether our precautions without condoms for oral and not limiting kissing except during obvious outbreaks are a sound and reasonable approach
324691 tn?1302551842 In January, I had a total Thyroidectomy w/ no complications until the surgeon threw me on 100 mcg of synthroid the day after my surgery. ( even though my post labs indicated my levels were normal) My heart went crazy, my body felt like it was on fire and my B/P topped out at 188/115. Furious, that he almost killed me, I stopped my meds for one week and slowly re-introduced the meds back into my system @ 50 mgs a day.
Avatar n tn I went from hyper to hypo. My endocrine had made the mistake of putting me on Tapazole and I became severely hypo. Now to rectify it, I've been on 125 ml of synthroid. I've been on syntroid for a 6 weeks and started noticing excessive hair loss within the past week. I've been tested a week ago and my levels are on the higher side of the normal range. I do feel great, but still losing so much hair. My doctor calls it Telogen effluvium? Is that possible? Or is it the medication?
89559 tn?1234880265 Back in 2004 I was diagnosed with low stage follicular variant papillary carcinoma and had a total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection. Since then with either generic form or the present synthroid 150 mcg I've been suffering with a sore tongue and a bitter taste in my mouth. (A white coating as well) The doc gave me penicillian back in Jan and it seemed to clear up for about 2 wks and now it's back again.
Avatar n tn What dosage is higher for Synthroid .112 or .125?? I would think .125 or does it apply the opposite and .112 is stronger??
1139187 tn?1355706647 On about 3 weeks of synthroid, .125 which appears to be my correct average dose based on my weight. My biggest complaint is the freakin fatigue. I see this report where a lot of folks have this fatigue. Am i to assume that if this is successful the fatigue will just dissapear at one time in life? http://www.ehealthme.com/synthroid yes I know. only 3 weeks, and yes i have tried a lot of different things. So please spare me the lecture on that.
Avatar n tn I have been recently diagnosed with thyroiditis. I'm currently in a hypo stage and have been put on synthroid - 50mg a day. I've been on the meds for 5 weeks and am still gaining weight. I began on June 11 and since then have gained aprx 1.2 lbs a week. I feel bloated and swollen, but when I went to the endo. she said that it would take a while for my metabolism to catch up with my blood work - which now has a TSH of 1.2.
2121656 tn?1395674749 I started taking 25 mgs. of synthroid on Sept. 4th, and right away I've had relieve from a lot of my symptoms, including indigestion & heartburn. Probably is the placebo effect. Either way I'm still symptom free except for the heartburn, that's actually worse than before taking synthroid. I am having it all day. Therefore, I'm not sure if the synthroid is the cause or if it may be caused from me drinking my morning coffee without taking the protonix.
