Hi,

In march 2018 i had my right thyroid gland removed due to a 4cm benign nodule. a few weeks after they started me on 25mg of thyroxine end my levels were slightly low. Since starting thyroxine my have been fine at each blood test. However im feeling lethargic, gaining weight, emotional, itchy skin and tired. Could it be something to do with the actual function of my thyroid? any help would be greatly appreciated! 😃

    You might want to read the thousands of posts here on thyroid meds. The meds cause horrible side effects and do nit work properly as they are not the same as what your body makes. The meds also suppress TSH production and your natural thyroxin production.

    Known side effects of levothyroxin include everything from thyroid disease to ostepenia to lupus and fibromialgya.
