levoxyl

[Guest guest]

HI, i'm new here. I have a lot of questions really.

I had graves disease, was treated twice with radioactive iodine.

Now my thyroid is dead. My endocrinologist put me on levoxyl a

little over a month ago, and I hate it. Honestly I felt better

before I started taking the stuff. It's hard to explain how it makes

me feel, but it's like taking 3 or 4 dexatrims at once. Head rushes

when i stand up things like that. It gives me an upset stomach, and

makes me very anxious as well. I've tried to get the doctor to

change the medication but he refuses saying that there is no way i

can feel it's effects. Unfortunately i have no health insurance

currently and am going through truman medical center for my

treatments. He's the only endocrinologist available to me at the

moment. I've not taken the stuff for a couple days and feel better

without it. ON the other hand i know i need to take it. It does

seem to cut down on the hypo symptoms such as face feeling swollen,

and eye's bothering me, it just has very unpleasant symptoms of it's

own. I'm at a loss for what to do here. I'm definately open to

suggestions.

sincerely, Mike .
