Thank you. I changed doctors when the doctor stopped listening and continued to want to increase medication to “keep your TSH number very low.” Tirosint gave me an extreme reaction where I thought I was having a stroke and the next doctor wanted to try the liquid version…..I had the same extreme reaction! I have had my doctor tell me how everyone seems to tolerate Synthroid well, when I told her about my side effects. I do not trust a doctor who does not listen to their patients side effects when the side effects interfere with living. I trust doctors who listen to their patients and try to come up with possible solutions. When the medication was stopped and the issues went away, I concluded that the medication was causing the reaction. Unfortunately, I need to take medication but have had a lot of difficulty getting a medication and dosage that helps with hypothyroidism without causing the negative side effects.
I should mention that I have had a history of having side effects from medications, as did my father and Grandmother, so I assume it’s something genetic. I do not tend to take a lot of medication unless necessary and am only on Levoxyl 5x’s a week; so any reactions would be associated with this medication.

I continue to see the Endocrinologist at the cancer hospital, who is trying to help me get my medication regulated, however I am not having as much success finding an endocrinologist outside of the cancer hospital. I am hopeful that the specialist with Hashimoto will put me on the right path.
