Avatar f tn I was trying to determine if levothyroxine can cause rash and came across this website. I had been taking 60mg (1 grain) armour but was that was recently adjusted to 45mg armour and 25mcg levothyroxine due to the following lab results: TSH 1.19 (0.34-5.60) Free T4 0.61 (.61-1.12) Free T3 5.3 (2.0-4.4) T3 187 (71-180) Reverse T3 19 (13.5-34.2) My ears and hairline have a bubbly red rash.
Avatar m tn Her GP sent her to a Dermatologist who has determined nothing external is causing the rash and told her to go back to her GP. it started on her arms legs, back and stomach and is now getting worse - it is now on her scalp, goin area, under her breasts and bottox. Mom is also anxious, depressed, suffering brain fog and putting on weight.
Avatar n tn I saw a Dr. and he said the rash on my face is eczema and the rash between my fingers is hyper something or other that is caused by stress. I had been off my meds (levothyroxine) for over a week when I noticed the itching in my ears first then the rash came on my hands and then the red whelpy rash with some fine bumps that itch like the dickens, on my inner and top of my thighs, buttocks, hips some on my back. Sometimes the rash moves around or goes away a little in some areas.
Avatar n tn However, every time I am exposed to the sun, I break out in a rash in exposed areas like arms, face and legs. A doctor I saw recently told me that it could be related to the levothyroxine. He has seen similar reactions in others. So, ???

Avatar n tn My daughter started Levothyroxine at age 4 and developed a rash on her legs and experiences sore throats, hoarseness. Then in December 2009 her "head pain" turned out to be cerebral spinal fluid hypertension. I was pushing on her eyes and they had to do a lumbar puncture. After being admitted to hospital, they said her TSH was too low and they lowered her dosage.
8170270 tn?1413845335 A few days after starting this new medication I developed hives and a rash all over my body. I do not have a gluten intolerance though I typically avoid it and I am on no other daily medication. I have been taking Benadryl around the clock but it seems to be getting worse. I called my endo and he said he's never heard of such a thing. Has anyone else experienced this?
Avatar f tn A few months ago, I tested 15 tsh and my dr started me on 50 mcg levothyroxine. After 8 weeks I retested and my tsh was 7, normal range being below 4. My dr increased my dosage again to 75mcg. Soon after this increase I started noticing hives. Hives cover my torso, thighs, buttocks, and they are large welts, extremely itchy. I thought it was the levothyroxine so I switched to synthroid. This change had no effect. I saw an allergist and did a scratch test with everything coming back negative.
Avatar f tn I have had for the last year on an off an acne like skin rash on my neck both sides and on the jaw line. It comes and goes can be itchy and red and makes my skin feel rough even when its not visible. Does anyone else have these experiences and are there any cures or creams or is that the way it is now as I can not stop taking the thyroide medication and when I stop selenium and iodine I get very tired and my hair goes very thin and brittle. Any ideas anyone?
Avatar f tn Anyone have any insight? And about 2 yrs ago, my doctor had prescribed levothyroxine, and after 20 days of taking it, I developed a red rash around my neck that went away 2 days after i stopped taking it. Anyone had that happpen? I'm asking because my insurance decided to drop coverage of the synthoid which costs $42, as opposed to the $9 of levo that is covered.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed having an under active thyroid about 1.5 years ago, my results being "borderline". I am now on 50mg of levothyroxine sodium. Recently I have developed a itchy red rash and it keeps on spreading! Please help! Is this an affect of levothyroxine? When I was initially diagnosed I was also severely anemic, which can also be a cause of my symptoms, fatigue, hair loss, weight gain etc...
Avatar f tn My paternal grandfather had Sjorgens and Lupus. I have had restless legs, and have a slight rash on neck/chest. The doctor never seems concerned. They focus on the symptoms. I have had a node on thyroid for 10 years, no big deal. Now I have 3 and a lot of symptoms my gp did blood work. free thyroxine index 1.9 t3 uptake 21 thyroxine (t4) 9.1 tsh 1.510 He put me on 50 mcg of levothyroxine.
Avatar m tn After a week or so, he began exhibiting symptoms of mania, delusional thinking, and paranoia. He saw the doctor who had prescribed the Levothyroxine, and told him how he was feeling. the doctor sent him to the emergency room. That night, he entered a psych hospital and has been there for 6 days. Doctors say he has had a manic episode, and are leaning towards diagnosing him with bipolar. They're trying a couple anti-psychotic meds and plan to release him in six days.
Avatar m tn Inadequate levothyroxine dosage will produce or fail to ameliorate the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism. Hypersensitivity reactions to inactive ingredients have occurred in patients treated with thyroid hormone products. These include urticaria, pruritus, skin rash, flushing, angioedema, various GI symptoms (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea), fever, arthralgia, serum sickness and wheezing. Hypersensitivity to levothyroxine itself is not known to occur.
Avatar f tn As soon as I use Vitamin D tablets - I seem to develop a rash and my body itches - cut that out too and try to spend about 10 minutes in the sun each day when possible.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Armour Thyroid for over a year and I have a rash on my legs and arms and it's spreading to my stomach. It has been diagnosed by a Dermatologist as Psoraisis. Now I'm wondering if this is an alergic reaction to the Armour Thyroid.
Avatar n tn Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; flushing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue; unusual hoarseness); changes in appetite; changes in menstrual periods; chest pain; diarrhea; excessive sweating; fast or irregular heartbeat; fever; heat intolerance; joint pain; leg cramps; mental or mood changes (eg, anxiety, irritability, nervousness); muscle weakness; seizures; severe or persistent headache or fatigue; shortness of breath;
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.

I have not felt right since having a tt 2 mo ago. Since being placed on levoxl 5 days ago these symptoms have started to abate. Is it related?
Avatar f tn My Dr. switched me from 100mcg to 88mcg approx. 1 month ago. I developed a rash that resembles hives and is present on my upper, lower arms and legs almost 3 weeks ago. My Dermatologist and Internist seem to think that it's just a major release of histamines and prescribed 3 different antihistamines per day plus a steriod ointment. It is getting worse and is very uncomfortable. It itches and is very red. Could this have something to do with my switch in dosage?
Avatar f tn 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).
Avatar n tn levothyroxine and foot and toe cramps. Existing damage to lumber due to spinal infection that tumored and surround spinal cord and root nurves.
Avatar f tn 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.
649688 tn?1276871161 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 ?????
