Thyroid Meds and Eye Problems

by PSP-n-Me, Aug 04, 2007 01:20PM
Hi y'all - I got my TSH test back last week - I have been taking 0.075 of Synthroid daily for 3 years - well my TSH went from 1.27 to 14!!  I need a med adjustment but can't get into my PCP till Thursday - Shelly/Debby - anyone out there that are on thyroid meds - When you are hypo and go even more hypo do they increase the dose or decrease the dose?

Also- anyone have swollen eyelids that itch like crazy and cause eyes to burn when not lying down - there is no redness in the eye itself so I doubt if it is an infection - Just wondered if this could be an Interferon side

Thanks *dip*

If you go more hypo they increase the dose. I have been taking thyroid for over 20 years ....recently went "hyper" on HCV tx .

but don't do this on your own.

also have allergies and what you describe sounds allergic to me. I know that my allergy problems are worse on tx.  have had to go on allegra and eye drops.
