Taking levothroxine and vitamins

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi there

I'm new here so hello to you all.

I take 75mg of levo every morning with a full glass of water 1 hour before food. The doctor said I could take 100mg one day and 75mg another day if I wanted to test it as my level was a tiny bit low.

I noticed that I have alot of hairloss recently it only started i think when the colour if the packets changed . My regular pots were green and pink. They are now silver. Are these new ingredients or am I just over thinking it. I have recently over the past week been shaky in the hands since I started taking vitamins . I always took a primrose oil capsule every evening no problems. I have however started taking vitamin b12 and cranberry tablets to help with my periods

Can anyone advise? I'm not due for another levo blood test for 3 months time.

I noticed there was a nurse on here recently giving good advice who I would like to hear from. Can anyone else advise. My hairloss is getting worse and I have shaky hands sometimes and feel giddy too.

Thank you all

Sue

    Our specialists forms are very succinct. No much room for people like me and my partner to explain. No list to tick is offered. Only a some 2 lines to explain everything.

    As for the medications, well many of the specialists do not ask for that. Everything is kept to the minimum. Australians just love to 'cut corners'... Thanks for explaining to me the 'forms'. I prefer not to think about tomorrow... Here there are 2 dental treatment options: you go to a private dentist (they do not extract teeth, they send you to a maxillofacial  surgeon for that which charges you a bomb) or else you go to the public dental clinic where you pay only $28 per visit. The public dental clinic is for students to practice... no qualified dentists... I live in a town of 97,000 population. There is only 1 maxillofacial surgeon. (The one who did not want to discuss my adrenal problems. He did not offer to talk to my endocrinologist.) when I asked him which kind of anesthetic he would use in view of my adrenal problems, he said: 'just a little injection to numb the area'....????frown
