Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 I do not have Hashi. I am a thyca survivor. Folks who are hypothyroid are more prone to infections of all kinds than other folks. Those with Hashi get a double whammy in that department. You are probably not yet on your optimal dose of thyroid meds. And once you are on an appropriate dose, it can take 6-18 months to feel well. Furthermore, not everyone does well on $ynthroid. Some folks do better on other brands of levothyroxine such as Unithroid or Levoxyl. Still others need a source of direct T3 such as Armour or Cytomel. I never did really feel well on $ynthroid for 12 years on doses as large as 300 mcg. I started feeling better immediately when I added Armour to a reduced amount of $ynthroid. I am now feeling much better on a combination of Armour plus the Lannett generic levothyroxine. What you may need is highly individual. wrote: Hi! Sour Lake is just outside of Beaumont. I really don't feel any different but I have only been taking Synthroid for 1 week. I think he prescribed that because I am nursing. Have a question though, I have developed a very large boil on my thigh, very painful. Is this something common with hashi's? Thank you for the advice on getting a copy of everything. I have been researching it and I think I kinda understand it now. Do you have hashi's? Thanks Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
