Muscles/joint pain
My question to Grave_lady or anyone who can answer. In my last couple of questions , i have received response from Graves_lady to check adrenal fatigue also , my doctor has DHEA and cortisol level , they both came back in lab reference range (Cortisol 7.6 , ref range 3-12 and DHEA was also in mid range).
My Endo recently changed my Levoxyl from 75mcg to 50mcg , i have been taking for last 25 days , he will test in next 20 days to get better result. I was struggling with thyroid (Hashimotos postive TPO ab) for last one year. Since March my TSH is really bouncing due addition of T3 5cmgx2/day. Before my doctor changed my Levoxyl to 50mcg my TSH level was . 0.51 and FT4 0.0916 after not taking any Levoxly for 17 days as before that my TSH was 0.004.
My current symptoms
1. Shortness of breath even with small physical work.
2.Muscless cramp in Calfs,Muscless weakness in arm, With little work feel tingling in Arm.
3. Fatigue after whole day of office work (computer engineer), after 6PM tired to death.
4 Hives in chest/back and some time in face ,including bump in lips due to heat in summer.
5. Gain 8 ibs in 1 month.
Question:
How long Levoxyl takes to resolve muscles cramp/weakness issue.
Should i have to maintain my TSH to1.0 for few months in order to feel better.
Can any virus like HIV or STD virus can cause Auto immune thyroidites ?.

You can try adding foods rich in calcium and magnesium .. those were two things suggested on the board when I was having bad calf, muscle cramps, joint pain. However, mine turned out to be totally unrelated to thyroid but I diligently tried supplementing my diet as I waited for Dr. appts., etc., to ascertain what was going on. This may do nothing if it is from too high level of meds ???!!!!
A kind person posted a health drink made with cottage cheese, blueberries, bananna, strawberries, etc., etc. It really was pretty darn good .. and jam packed with calcium.
I don't have any real answers to your ? as I had partial thyroidectomy for nodules and all my labs were/are normal ....
I am sure others will pop in and help you out.
