Hashimoto

I have had narcolepsy for 15 years and its well controlled with provigil. October of 2014 after 2 1/2 months of different tests I was diagnosed with hashimotos with a 2.2 cm nodule. I have been taking 25mcg of l-thyroxine. I felt real good about 6 weeks after starting it but after being on it about 3 months symptoms started coming back. I never lost the symptom of being cold. I am so tired of being cold. The lack of energy and my legs feel heavy my voice is froggy and sometimes I feel dull pain in my neck. Just switched doctors a couple days ago. New Dr said if l-thyroxine dose isn't right it can cause being cold or hot. I'm waiting for blood work to come back. He is also checking my t3, my old Dr refused to. She said tsh .738(.350-3.74) and free t4 1.14(.76-1.46) were great num...

Is Limbrel (contains goitogens) ok to take if I am hypo thyroid and on Levothyroxine? ## Based on my research there are no drug interactions found between Limbrel and Levothyroxine. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but my sources state that every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate. Also to note: Limbrel is contraindicated in an extremely small number of patients; being those with hypersensitivity to any component of flavocoxid or to flavonoids. Unless you were diagnosed with this hypersensitivity then I wouldn't worry about this interaction. Does this help to answer your question? Please post back if you have any other comments or concerns regarding this. ## Very helpful. Thank you very much.

Hashimotos thyroiditis patients beware of the fillers and Crospovidone/Povidones in your thyroid medications! I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis over 20 years ago and I took Levoxy that whole time and did great on that brand of medication. Levoxyl was taken off the market as everyone knows back in 2013 and that was the start of my throid hell! I was switched to Levothyroxine by Lannett- Walgreens brand. I had a very bad allergic reaction due to the iodine and acacia in the pill. Then I switched to levothyroxine by mylan- Target Store brand and I had another bad allergic reaction due to the Crospovidone and Povidones (non organic iodine) in the pill. Finally I discovered Levoxy is back on the market again so I rushed out to change my medicine back to levoxyl. Come to find out so...

As you know with Hashimoto's that you experience highs and lows so my doctor lowered my levothyroxine from .112 to.110 I've been on it for three weeks and now my period It has stopped and started for two weeks now. Has anybody else to experience that?!? ## Hello, Dawn! How are you? That can happen due to thyroid problems, it can throw your cycle off, some women with severe issues may not have periods, at all, for months at a time. If you're concerned, feel free to discuss it with your doctor, you should also be sure to do so if the bleeding gets very heavy, or continues for a few more weeks. The side effects of this medication may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, hair loss and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hey doctors i took A flu va...

I'm 33, diagnosed with Hashimoto, started 25 mg of Levo a day - after two weeks of taking it, I was constantly out of breath, felt lightheaded and panicky, would wake up with rapid heat beating and out of breath in the middle of the night. (During those two weeks, my TSH dropped from 4.26 to 3.13, T 3 and T 4 as well - so, clinically, it was going in the right direction, perhaps only too abruptly). They made me wait for a couple of days and reduced my meds to 12.5 mg and last night (after taking the 12.5 mg dosage for only two days!) I was woken up with no breath, heart pounding, it felt like I was dying. I'm scared for my heart. I'm afraid to even go to sleep - the experience of waking up breathless was not pleasant at all. I'm seeing the doctor on Monday. I don't t...

taking repinirole for 1 yr. I have severe weight loss. does anyone else have this side effect. I also have hashimoto thyroiditis that has seemed to have gotten better. I would like to start on lyrica, for rls. ## While it isn't common, weight loss is a known rare side effect of taking Ropinirole. Learn more Ropinirole details here. Lyrica, however, usually causes weight gain, so it could actually end up helping. Learn more Lyrica details here. How much weight did you lose? ## I have lost 20 lbs. since 7/12. ropinirole is the only prescription i am on. my dr. refuses to believe it's the ropinirole for rls. I look so skinny at 117lbs. 5'8" that i am the talk of the town at work! starting today i am not going to take repinirole 2mg. except when i get the cramps and spasms i...

After nearly 5 years of trying to get docs to take my complaints seriously, I was finally diagnosed with Hashimoto's a couple of months ago. About 3 months prior to that, they started me on Synthroid. At follow-up, my TSH levels had not improved so I was switched to Levoxyl. A couple weeks after starting it, I began experiencing tingling across my forehead and scalp. A pins and needles sort of feeling. Several weeks later the tingling is ongoing, though it waxes and wanes in severity. Then a couple weeks ago my feet started to swell. I was noticing my shoes felt tight and was getting sores on my toes from rubbing. I made no changes to my daily routine or diet that would explain this swelling. My ankles don't really look swollen-just my feet and it's gotten quite uncomfortabl...

I have REM sleep disorder, with mild narcolepsy, for which I take low doses of modafinil and clonazepam. I also have Hashimotos Disease, for which I had a partial thyroidectomy, and take thyroxine hormone replacement. Do any of these interfere with my blood pressure, causing it to fluctuate, and my throat is starting to sound hoarse when I sing. Should I be concerned about the hoarseness when I sing, and do the drugs cause my blood pressure to fluctuate? Thank you for your help. ## Your blood pressure always fluctuates, it will never hit one set of numbers and remain there. It will vary depending on what you eat, stress levels, activity levels and etc. But the Modafanil can cause blood pressure elevations, since it is a stimulant. It can also cause elevated heart rate, nervousness and i...
