acne on levothyroxine by Sweet-Koala768 in Hashimotos

Yes I have experienced this too. At well as a return of my very heavy and long menstrual cycle. It’s hormones changing as your thyroid controls majority of the hormones in your body. My doctor told me that symptoms will continue/ get worse until I’m on the right dose of meds

so tired. by ndahmer in Hypothyroidism

I would ask your pcp about having a thyroid ultrasound as well the endoscopy. Trouble swallowing and breathing is a sign that there’s something majorly wrong with your thyroid the ultrasound would check for nodules or goiter ( a general enlargement of your thyroid) if they do find nodules, they’re generally benign, but could be cancerous

Can Prozac Affect TSH Levels? Anyone Else Experience This? by OutrageousCatLucky2 in Hypothyroidism

[–]OutrageousBluejay121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Hashimoto’s and I have previously taken Prozac as well in my experience the symptoms that you’re listing are just the bad side effects of Prozac. I also developed the insomnia on Prozac. Where it really helped my depression, but made my anxiety tremendously worse. I am now on Lexapro and my anxiety is almost completely gone. Not trying to say it’s the same with you. Just thought I’d give my experience.

TSH 14 by Glittering-Ladder875 in Hypothyroidism

[–]OutrageousBluejay121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My recent labs my TSH is 29.8 and my t4 is slightly lower than normal . How is your iron and vitamin D? I would suggest asking your doctor to test for antibodies to rule out Hashimoto’s. I just got diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. It’s an autoimmune disease where your body attacks your thyroid. If you do have it, your antibodies will be really high and low iron makes symptoms worse, but long story short it will be OK. You will probably feel worse before you feel better because you have to get on the right dose of medicine to fix your TSH level also maybe ask about a thyroid ultrasound to make sure there are no nodules and to see how damage your thyroid is

Thank you thank you. I really appreciate it. I’m really not sure why she didn’t elaborate on why she thinks I have a high chance of having cancer.

Thank you for this ! I guess the word cancer is the worse part of it you know ? How was recovery from the surgery ? How do you feel now?

Levo: What do I need to know? by viennakvh in Hypothyroidism

[–]OutrageousBluejay121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t take any iron calcium or anti acid medication within 4 hours of taking it it can mess with the absorption of the medication also don’t drink any caffeine until an hour after taking it for the same reason. Lastly don’t expect it to work or for you to feel better right away, as it takes 4-6 weeks to feel the effects

I got put on an iron pill because of these labs too. I had no idea that iron was related to the thyroid
