my levothyroxine is finished and i am outside country is there a way to buy it online without prescription?
You guys are the best. All I do is cry and be major irritated with my husband. I can not believe I am looking at such an insane life. my blood levels were fine before surgery but I had the tumor growing and I had major menopause symptoms (since 48, I am now 55). I can not say those are any better so far. Thanks so much for your insight. I am dangling by a thread in this process. Another question:
so I take Levothyroxin in the morning with water and no food. How long should I wait before I drink coffee and soymilk or eat granola with walnuts? I have been waiting 2-3 hours after nausea and headache eases off. Also, I am taking calcium supplements after 12:00 each day with Vitamin D3.
At 12 I also take AVLIMIL, an herbal supplement for menopause symptoms. Been on since 48 and tames my nerves and mood swings a little. I started back on that March 13. It has soy isoflavones extract, black cohosh, sage, red pepper, ginger root, licorice root, red raspberry, bayberry bark, damiana leaf so I take it 4 hours after the Levothyroxin. Can you guys see that I am off in the bushes somewhere? My surgeon felt that Avlimil would not hurt any thing. I have read a little about the soy controversy. china does not seem to hamore thyroid issues than anyone else??
So you just cry when you cry, drink coffee as you need and do the least to get by? wow what a life!! I have a 10 yr. old...Got to pick up the pace.Thanks for your support. Hope I can give to another when this is under my belt!!
I agree with gapeach76, it just takes a little time for your levels to be where they need to be for you. Patience. It took me about a year to reach my level. I had a TT 16yrs ago. Once my levels were okay, no problems for me. Still go with life.
Just make sure you keep your lab appts & dr. visits.
I had my TT in Oct.08 and they are still adjusting my levels! So yeah, I went through the depression, etc. from it too...it's all part of the adjusting. I wondered if I did the right thing afterwards, my nodules were benign too...but come to find out months later that I had Hashimoto's!? So it's a good thing I did have it taken out, my thyroid was huge! Don't regret the surgery or it will drive you nuts. Makes the depression worse. I take two antidepressants and I might have to be on at least one forever now...but it helps.
My calcium levels dropped dangerously low after my TT and I was readmitted. I have to take Calcitrol forever now b/c my para's were damaged. Have they checked your calcium levels to make sure you are above 7.5?
