My soreness was after my partial thyroid removal.
Unfortunately I haven’t gotten all the issues resolved, however things have improved. I am currently still on 50mcg of Levoxyl 5 days a week. I had been taking the weekends off, however my new Endocrinologist said that I seem to very sensitive to the slightest medication changes, so maybe the two days off in a row are causing some of the side effects. I am starting a new schedule of skipping Saturday and Wednesdays to see if it helps eliminate some of the side effects. It is tricky!
One of the pharmacists told me that the Pharmaceutical companies can change their formulas and they do not have notify anyone. Changes to the fillers and the location the medication is produced, can be changed and can result in people having sensitivity reactions, however since it is not the active ingredient they do not have to notify people.
I was also referred to a Rheumatologist to see if there is another reason for the negative side effects. Good Luck!
