Anyone experience bad joint/muscle pain post thyroid removal?

The FDA has to approve any generics so if you search for FDA approved versions of < name brand drug>, you can find the list of them, including the manufacturer, and links to the ingredients list. It is interesting how the fillers / nonactive ingredients vary between manufacturers. But the tough part is how do you know which one(s) you're sensitive to.... I guess we just have to do a lot of trial and error unfortunately

Tirosint has no fillers. It is the only really clean thyroid medicine that I know of. Having medication compounded is another option . That also puts you in control of the fillers. You may need your Dr. to write a letter why you need Tirosint to get it covered.
I’ve tried every thyroid medication and tried all kinds of ways to take it, split doses, nights skip days, very low dose, and I get negative reactions. (Even Tirosint)
Currently my side effects are: extreme heat intolerance, sweating, extreme irritability and heart palpitations even using metoprolol. I feel better when I don’t take any meds but blood shows I am hypothyroid without meds.
I’ve searched and searched for anything written about this and only found one case study.
I am hypersensitive to most depression medications as well. They cause me to tremble within 8 hours of ingestion even just one pill.
I’m hoping to find someone out there that has this too and hopefully resolved it.
This is new. I had been able to take the meds for many years but I can’t say I ever felt my body was using the medicine. I had all the classic hypo symptoms and while my bloodwork looked good I can’t say that I felt well.
