#levothyroxine

[rose-chateau]

It is literally insane that thyroid issues can worsen OCD. Like what do you MEAN my throid isn't producing enough whatever juice and now an intrusive thought ruins my day and haunts me for days to the point of inducing a traumatic depressive episode. What do you MEAN it can do that?? What the fuck are bodies what the fuck what the fuck

The brand name for my thyroid medication is so cool-sounding but it makes it sound like a much more intense thing than it is.

Like yeah bro I'm on

Synthroid.

Is that a synthetic steroid or perhaps a futuristic stimulant of some kind? Nope it's just man-made thyroid hormone.

My wrists and ankles no longer get the "cold radiating out from inside my bones" sensation when I'm on my period - IIRC that stopped around the time I started taking synthroid - but my knees still usually do. Maybe I should induce hyperthyroidism to see if that changes the situation.

So I got the right half of my thyroid removed earlier this year and was then put on 50mcg of levothyroxine but at my follow up endocrinology appointment my bloodwork showed still crappy numbers plus very low vitamin D even though I’ve been taking 1,000 IU for quite awhile. We’ve now upped my levothyroxine to 75mcg and the vitamin d3 2,000 IU, but it’s been a couple weeks and I still feel like garbage. I’m lucky if I can get a load of laundry done and take a shower; I’ve been so exhausted.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Did it take you awhile to get your levels leveled out after surgery? Did you end up having to take more than 75mcg of levo or did it affect your d3? Were you super fucking exhausted?

My endocrinologist said that we can recheck my bloodwork in a couple weeks, but I feel nervous bc things just do not feel right in my body :/

day 3 of taking levothyroxine (thyroid medication)

I feel like my fatigue and pain symptoms might slightly be improving? I still have swelling issues and many other symptoms but it’s only day 3 so hopefully those will also improve overtime.

I can’t say I’m positive that it’s the medicine but my face feels moisturized and healthy and not dry and patchy today. like my skin feels genuinely glow-y? which is cool.

and I had the energy to actually do a very light ten minute workout which is def an improvement considering a week ago I wouldn’t have been able to.

My levothyroxine is hurting my stomach soooo mf bad and like I don’t have the option to NOT take it so wtf do I do?!!
