    Hi Kimbley, this sort of thing is more common than you’d expect. Please read the list of side effects from the manufacturer. You may find some answers there, as levothyroxin can cause thyroid disease and can cause cysts.

    Hi Kimbley smile To stop your worry and stress, go get it checked so you know for sure what it is. Although it is quite possible the new dosage of Levo is causing it, its best to get it seen by a doctor. There could be many reasons causing it, but I will say that I too had similar neck/gland problems, and when I had the dosage reduced, it went away. I agree with MtViewCatherine that there are many side effects with this medication and it could be that 100mcg is not the right dose for you just now. Best of luck smile
