So Upset & Confused

by redjoy, Oct 03, 2008 11:39AM
About 1 & 1/2 mo ago I was put on Synthroid 25mc, TSH 4.90, it was lowered to 1/2 of that since I got so tired. Now I have terrible leg pains can hardly walk, hair coming out & diarreah 3 days. I also have a colloid cyst in one lobe 1.2x0.8x0.4 cm. Well I called the endro's office today & left a message. He's off but his nurse called me & sd those symptoms are not from the synthroid & I've been on it for months (wrong abit over 1 mo) & to go to ER. I have heard of leg pains being caused by that med so what is she talking about. I didn't really ask enough ques is it the cyst is that why I'm on it? Does this make sense to anyone? Thanks alot.

You are so Hypo so Hypo don't walk but run to your pharmacy you need more the .25 that is nothing NOTHING ! Call your Endo back and tell that women to get you a script for a higher dose or your going to the ER and sending her office the bill.

You're right! Guess what he had me taking 1/2 of .25 well I took it upon myself to take the .25 last night & today & my legs feel so much better. Wait till I see her, I will inform her that she sd it has nothing to do w/synthroid or my thyroid condition & she's wrong since I took the higher dose & the pain went away! I don't care if they like it or not & I will also let the Dr know. I think he was nervous because I'm in my 60's so was giving me an extra low dose.
