post-nasal drip anyone?

I was wondering if anyone has had the side effect from thyroid meds

of post-nasal drip or a mucousy feeling in the throat. I seem to

have had that side-effect the whole time I've been on the meds.

I have tried to see if that is a sign of hyperthyroidism and I don't

see it anywhere as a sign of that; in fact I've seen it described as

a symptom of hypo rather than hyper, but still...got to admit I am a

bit worried...

Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so,did it mean anything

important?

Thanks,

Gentle

I had trouble with that after going without meds for a long time and then

finally getting back on.. I'm not sure of the reason/cause... but the

thought that came to my mind is that our bodies, when hypo have a lot of

trouble doing normal, rhythmic things..... stomach digestion,

menstruation, bowel processing... I wonder if the movement of mucous is

the same way???? We produce a lot every day, normally... and if our

bodies have been having problems moving it out properly (normally it

drains into the back of the throat and is swallowed). Might it be

possible that as our bodies get back up to doing things normally that

there is a period of time during which the body is doing some serious

cleaning out? Mine settled down after a while and no problems after

that.....

Just a theory... I have no idea if it's valid or not...

When you brush your teeth.. do the roof of your mouth and your tongue

too... that gets rid of the side effects of the sublingual meds.. and

boy, does food taste good when you keep your tongue clean!!! hehehehehe
