Hypo is affecting my pituitary gland
by Ga7, Jun 18, 2007 12:00AM
Im 46 my thyroids were removed at 20. I took my synthroid for 1 year daily,and then drop to taking it 1 times weekly.100mcg. And felt just great.Well a few months ago I started having dizzy spells and the doctor found my TSH level at 118. So then he started me back on 100mcg and have been feeling worse. Had another lab test and it had droped to 45. Now my right leg has beed hurting ever since the beginning and has not let up. The pain goes up and down. This has been going for 4 months now. I had a MRI done on my brain and they found my pituitary gland inflamed. Why, no answer from nero just says we will look at it again in a month, To much dosage, since they got me at 125mcg now. Did we shock the brain.??
