Have Thick Frothy Saliva And Itching, Tested For Sjogrens And Siccas Normal. Is It Reaction To Levothyroxine?
I hve thick frothy saliva and itching. It has came on to me in stages in the last 3 years and it keeps getting worse. I have been tested for Sjogrens and sicca. That is not it, I have been referred to U of M but can t get in until May. It keeps getting worse daily. I believe it is a reaction to Levothyroxine . I have had problems since the day I was put on it. I am desperate, can you please help me.

Hi there ~
I understand your concern. I believe you have sjogrens disease and having frothy saliva and itching in this condition as well as siccas is normal. If you are hypothyroid and are on levothyroxine, it should actually make the autoimmune condition better. However consultation with an allergist-immunologist might throw light into what the real matter is.
I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
