Myopathy from being Hypo??

[Guest guest]

Has anybody else had myopathy following during their " hypo " state of

being. What did you do and how long before it goes away.

I just got a call from my onc.and she says I have myopathy(blood work

confirmed) due to my continued hypothyroid state. Although I've been

back on my Synthroid .150 mcg for 21 days she says I have a few more

weeks to go before I have blood levels.

She advised me to rest and drink plenty of fluids so I don't have

problems with my kidneys.

It seems like I no sooner get one problem under control then

something else pops up. I had shingles on my jaw two weeks ago and

now this. What next ???
