New to thyroxine

Posted , 3 users are following.

Im a 21 years old female. I started taking thyroxine 50 mcg a month ago or so and it has made things worse for me. I never had to deal with the forhead ache in my whole life and now my acne is getting worse. Need suggestions should i quit my thyroxine? Im afraid the acne will get worse by time. Thanks

    Think your TSH wasn't that high for you to have such side effects. Maybe ask your doc if you can half the dose every other day. You want to lower your TSH. especially bc it's not good for cognitive function to have it even higher than 5. The sooner you get it down the better and then you have a better chance of getting rid of the antibodies. Take some magnesium glycinate it has calming affect and good for headaches. Vit C Bcomplex w methylB12 methylfolate.
