Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 After 20 years of telling my doctors I have a thyroid issue, a biopsy confirmed that I have myxedema. It is the most severe form of thyroid disease and I have been miserable for a long time. My ths never showed a problem so every doctor I saw dismissed it as a possiblity. I started out on levoxyl.25 and I am now at 200 Its seems every time they raise the dose it holds for 4 months and then I crash again. I am not as informed as most who post in here so I usually dont post and remain quiet My question is this My dose of levoxyl was just raised yesterday to 200mcg how long does it take to be effective? Ive heard anything from 1 day to 3 months and Im very confused My doctors are amazed Im able to do all the usual day to day things pluse take care of my 2 grandbabies age 2 and 5 My endocrinologist cant beleive Im as aware as I am and most medical people step back when I mention the myxedema Any information you can give me will be a huge help TY Quote
