Hello all, it has been a while since I updated but I'm still having problems and will explain. Maybe someone can help me out.

My doctor took me off 75 mcg and put me on 50 mcg of Levoxyl.

I lost my weight and only had occasional migraines and a little spike here in there to where I would feel cold and stuff. That changed 3 weeks ago and I was so ill I should have gone to the Emergency Room, but I didn't. figure like always it was a spike and I'll level out in a few days. Well I wasn't leveling out so made a doctor's appointment in the 3rd week of symptoms; Migraine, anxiety (really bad), very cold, swelling in legs, hands, feet, fatigue, and dry skin. My appointment was on Monday, and wouldn't you know on Sunday I started to feel better in that my migraine was now only a small headache, and feeling slight anxiety but I didn't cancel the appointment. I went and explained to my doctor what I've been going through. She took blood, and gave me an EKG.

She called the next morning to tell me my labs were fine! My heart was fine, my Vitamin D is fine. (2 months prior it wasn't and was put on mega dosage of V-D)

Great I thought, just great...while I'm glad I'm feeling better I know I'll spike again! I just know I'm in between dosage but with my lab at 2.6 I'm normal! GRRR.

What in the heck other then my thyroid could have caused this? What am I spiking so much? This was the worse episode I have ever had. I mean it was worse then before I had the surgery for my left thyroid removal and I was pretty bad then.

I just do not know what to make of this or what to do now?

My main concern are the headaches...they are really bad. I get them for 3 days, go away a day, then they come back. Why?

I mean I can understand it if when I was first diagnosed hypo and my labs were like 90. but it wasn't it was only like 7.(something).

The doctor gave me I think it is called relpax for my migraines which helps but I wasn't given very many so I'm finding myself rationing them.

What do you all think is the cause of these spikes if my labs shows I'm normal?View Thread
