Hi Cazkins I am hypothyroid since having thyroid removed for Graves disease. I became b12 and iron deficient on Levothyroxine with severe constipation. At my worst, i was taking Lactolose, Amitriptyline, Zopliclone, Beta Blockers, NSAIDs, Inhalers, Tramadol and more. The problem was, when tested, it...

TalkHealth Worse than being disappointed, which I can totally understand, I am left feeling even more terrified than I was last week. My very real health fears are being ignored which leaves me thinking the specialists don't have any idea of why I'm having these symptoms. That is far from comforting...

Sorry to muscle in on someone else's post but this is pertinent to me Dr Lazarus. I was on 100mcg thyroxine and had the same symptoms as the writer. My endo reduced my dose to 75mcg even though my T3 was 3.6 (range 3.8 -6.0) T4 was in lower half of range.

Can you tell me if this is unsafe for me?

Dear TalkHealth I do take your point but you said the forum was a chance for us to discuss our concerns with specialists and this has rarely happened. I have posted several questions, not rants, in this section and have not received one solitary answer from a specialist. I would even be happy to rec...

I am so sorry for you ignored. It's shocking how your posts have never been answered. I hope you join the forum that helped so many (google thyroid and uk) as no one should be so blatently ignored and left like this. It's cruel beyond belief.

It's awful Jeannie. It really is. Prior to my thyroidectomy I was a higher rate tax payer, that's all stopped, so tax loss for the government. I have been round all the usual specialists trying to get to the bottom of the awful symptoms because the endocrinologist said they were not thyroid related....

Pretty Please? I m just back from the GP and she admitted she has no indepth knowledge of thyroid complexities, which is fair enough being a general practitioner. However, my endocrinologist told me that fatigue, headaches and palpitations were not thyroid related as my bloods are 'normal'. Can this...

Please could a specialist answer this for me?

I should have said, my dose is now 75mcg after five years of being on 100mcg. This was to try to reduce palpitations. I have experienced this the entire time I've taken thyroxine so not a new symptom.

Hi Almost an hour after taking my thyroxine, at night, I experience a sort of 'rush', palpitations and a feeling of extreme flushing and heat. It's very frightening, I feel breathless and almost winded. It really is every night after the thyroxine. I surmise it's this causing it as the only other pi...
