synthroid

Avatar n tn I was allergic to the acacia/ pollen in synthroid.. Had the same issue .. Changed to levoxyl . itching and rash gone .
Avatar m tn On THYROID it went as high as 200 sys and on Synthroid 195. I am working now with my doc to reduce and take me off all thyroid meds and I plan to migrate to kelp (iodine extract) and if necessary L-tyrosine to boost my T3 production. I also have a bright red facial rash which migrated to my neck. Blurring of vision and headaches are also side affects. In 2002 the AMA lowered the entry level to hypothyroidism scooping up 50 million formerly borderline thyroid problems.
Avatar f tn ve gotten it colored (within the last six months). My head has broken out in a terrible itchy rash, and also it's on my forehead, neck and around my ears. In August it happened for the first time and like an idiot I allowed the stylist try it again. She thought maybe it was a fluke the first time - it wasn't-this time the rash is worse. Could it have anything to do with being off of the Synthroid that this could be happening or is it a coincidence? Any ideas? Thanks!
Avatar n tn I am on synthroid and I do not have that symptom. Curious, how long have you been on the synthroid and have they ever checked you for any auto-immune disorders?
Avatar m tn So I am not ruling out the connection between the rash and the active t4 ingredient in both the synthroid and compounded tablets. I am guessing it is probably the same ingredient in both of those pills. The compounded one has no fillers or dyes, that's the difference, as I understand it. Here are my values - note that the range values remain constant at: TSH =.4 - 5.8, t4 = .7 - 1.2 9/11: not on any meds TSH = 28; t4 = .48 10/11: start 5 mc grms synthroid 1/12: TSH = .
7534512 tn?1391711688 I recently visited my Dr. She had me taking an anxiety drug that was affecting me with a rash. I knew that drug had to be tapered to come off and I did it by cutting. She told me she was pleased with my method for that drug but warned me to never cut my thyroid drug. She indicated it was not doable because of how the pill is made.
Avatar n tn I was switched by my pharmacy from Synthroid to the generic, Levoxyl, about 6 months ago and seemed to have developed a facial rash which is somewhat splotchy over my cheeks (more on one side than the other). Is it possible for generics to cause this kind of a reaction. My TSH levels seem to remain in check ranging from 1.0 - 2.25. I am currently on 200mcg/day.
Avatar f tn t know how your physician determined that you were responding immunologically to the Synthroid, but this is certainly possible and could negate its effects by its removal.
Avatar f tn I found out I was pregnant and went to see endo, who immediately changed my dosage to 200 mcg synthroid, and no relief from hives. I just switched to 200 mcg tirosint which has no fillers. It's been a week hives are not a severe but still occur. How long until the synthroid is out if my body so I can find a reason for hives? I suffer daily and don't want to take too much Benadryl while pregnant but hives are unbearable.
Avatar m tn Well, if the 120 mg of Armour was required to relieve symptoms, I can tell you that your dosage of Synthroid is not anywhere near the same. Rule of thumb is that one grain of Armour (60 mg) is equivalent to 75 mcg of T4 med. Your Synthroid dose is only about half of what you were getting before. the adverse effect would be even greater if you are not converting the T4 to T3 adequately. So you really need those tests done.
Avatar n tn I was treated for graves disease several years ago and have since been taking synthroid. the problem is in the last month or two, i have been suffering from an unsightly rash on my face which won't go away. I cannot figure out what is causing it and i suspect it may be related to my thyroid condition. i do not think it has to do with any other conditions other than my thyroid problem. has anyone experienced the same type of problem with rashes?? what can i do to get rid of it??
87651 tn?1259602403 today was the first day i felt a bit foggy and tired. my guess is that my natural hormone has been depleated and the synthroid has not built up all the way. the literature says synthroid takes about 2 weeks, sometimes 3 to fully engage. sound like you are doing great. i'd be concerned about the 99.5. i don't blv hot flashes actually increase core body temp. maybe repeat in an hour? did you have any problem with a post op itchy rash on the neck and shoulders?
Avatar n tn Out of the blue one morning I had a rash on my inner arms, and terribly itchy for that day. After showing that evening, it was all over my arms, but quickly faded and never has repeated this. My first thought was it was my Levoxyl, but I have been taking it for nearly 5 years (thyroidectomy for cancer), and taking that particular pill (88mcg) for over a year. My dosage had been increased slightly four weeks earlier by alternating the 88 mcg every other day with a 100 mcg.
Avatar f tn I went thru this painful bleeding rash on my arms and legs for years..ugh its just awful. Went to every skin Dr and they were stumped..well I just had thyroid surgery to remmove toxic nodule and half my thyroid...guess what? The rash is finally clearing up all by it self now! Yaaaaay! Tell you Dr about it and insist you get your thyroid treated..myself I recomend the surgery over the radiation. A litter more painful but much safer esp for those of us with thyroid rash!
Avatar f tn Seems that many have been told its not the Synthroid but only started getting the rash after taking it. This is my case. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this rash??
Avatar f tn I agree the dye in the synthroid is causing those rash. Right now I am taking the 100mcg synthroid and I'm breaking out with hives everyday all over my body. Thanks to a former dr I called and he told me to have dr change the 100mcg to the 50mcg because it has no dye which is causing a allergic reaction.
Avatar m tn The bad, excessive sweating stopped!!! Was a happy woman. 6 months later DR tested and wanted me back on Synthroid, and I said only the lowest dose I will try. Its only been 3 days on 25mg/1 a day and I'm sweating again!!! I just can't understand how one low dose pill can be so damaging to me....
646105 tn?1223653476 after three months. They switched me Synthroid which also produces high blood pressure and a rash. We are currently attempting to wean me off Synthroid and I want to try KELP (iodine) and after a bit introduce L-tyrosine which promotes the production of T3 while the iodine is more T4 related. I am tracking my own blood pressure three times a day and I watch my blood pressure spike about 2-3 hours after taking the Synthroid and go to normal/low by late in the day.
Avatar f tn With both synthroid and armourthyroid I had an allergic reaction after being on them for 5 weeks. I have been off the armourthyroid for 4 weeks now. I keep getting an itchy rash on my neck, arms and hands. Is this related to the thyroid medication? Will it eventually go away? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/263181'>can thyroid medicine cause a rash?</a>.
Avatar m tn t going to go away as I have not seen any posts with results to this happening. The rash on my legs and back got better for a few weeks but then came back with a vengeance a couple of days ago.
Avatar f tn Curious - I also read the levothyroxine and synthroid vary with their effectiveness, that synthroid is more effective and overall healthier than the levo. Any truth to this? Would that give reason to the higher price?
Avatar f tn Does anyone think it could be the mix of Synthroid and Interferon and Riba giving me these red dots they really are more like dots than a rash. ( I don't have the antibodies for Hyper or hypothyroidism it was brought on purely by the drugs... we have established that! :( But have Hypothyroisism and an inflamed thyroid. She wants to put me perhpas 150 mg??? Any ideas???
Avatar m tn I also ran an interaction checker on all three, Tramadol, Hydroxyzine and Synthroid, Synthroid produce no interaction with the other two, al though I di get a "Moderate" Interaction on Tramadol and Hydroxyzine as below: MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.
Avatar f tn Why would it suddenly cause malar rash, joint pain and swelling, extreme hair loss, anemia and chronic diarrhea, just to name a few. Has anyone heard of rebif causing lupus symptoms? I am still waiting for blood results from that appt. They took 8 large tubes of blood, so hopefully I will get those results soon. I'm just tired of feeling like crap and not being able to eat because everytime I eat solid food it goes right thru me.
Avatar f tn 75 dose of synthroid. I noticed for three weeks before I started the synthroid...my skin started itching and I would break out in huge hives and then i started getting hard knots in the back of my neck and the back of my head. I called the Endo. and his nurse told me he said it was not related to me not having a thyroid, I kept getting worse and he finally increased my dose to .100 and told me to go to my regular family dr. for the rash..
Avatar n tn My dr also doesnt believe its that but I never had anything like this till the Synthroid, I have been off for 3 weeks and they got worse after almost being gone!
Avatar f tn I’ve been taking the generic Levothyroxine for about 11 yrs and then I went to see an endo for the first time and he switched me to Synthroid and now I feel horrible. My symptoms are all over the place; hungry but then feel sick after eating, burning feeling in hands and feet, tired, dizzy,brain fog, just an overall ill feeling. These symptoms started 5 days after starting Synthroid. Could the sudden switch bring on these symptoms?
Avatar f tn gave me a rx for synthroid 50 mcg- I called my natual pathic dr and they up the armour to 80 mg - I feel like I am goning to die - I am so tired and my face is still parlayzed from Bells Pasly- feeling scared and like no dr knows what they are doing- nor do they care-all endocrinolgist cannot see me until Feb or march- How long does this take to work- should I get off armour and go to synthroid again - why am I so inflammed my hand s are going down some what- I feel scared- any suggestions- t
