Suggest Medication To Cure Hashimoto S Disease And Goiter
I went from a normal TSH count in November to great than 13 in December. I was put on 100 mg levothyroxine and felt good for 4 months, then started to get horrible headaches, my muscles ached, the joints in my legs hurt, was extremely fatigued and not able to sleep. After a blood test, I was told the 100 mg was too much and I was dropped to 75 mg and was told I have Hashimoto s Disease. I ve since developed a goiter and am feeling no better. I m ready to try something else. Is there any truth to the claims on Actalin?

get your blood test for T S H.
KEEP IT AT 2.5 TO 3 .
75 mcg is HIGH.IT SHOULD BE REDUCED FURTHER AT 12.5,every 1.5 MONTHly. UNTIL IT COMES TO NORMAL.
do not worry about goiter,if it hurts you take surgeon's opinion .
