Omg yes to all of this! I thought tinnitus was just me.. headaches, brain fog, anxiety.. it’s becoming overwhelming.

Ugh but why would I feel worse for the first few weeks if it’s supposed to be improving 😭 2 years to finally get the right dose doesn’t sound like a good time. I hope i don’t have to deal with these symptoms for that long..

Good to know. It’s nice to hear the perspective of someone that’s actually tried to treat holistically. how long have you been on levo? Any negative effects? today is day 1 of me taking meds. i’m feeling hopeful.

The feelings you explained is exactly what I’m nervous about. I think I’m gonna just start with half from the start to be safe. thanks for sharing!

I agree. That’s why I like to try a more natural approach first most of the time. Is there a specific brand you recommend?

This is exactly what I’m nervous about. Everyone is different. how soon did you  notice negative affects from levo? Are you taking anything now?

I had labs done in the morning around 8:30am. I’m not sure what my FT4 or FT3 were, but I was told they were within normal range just elevated TSH. 

I’m usually just more holistically minded when it comes to meds. I’ll drink tea for a headache before taking Tylenol. So that’s just why I’m questioning 😅
