Arm pain

[Juss460]

Since I started taking throid Meds I developed a rash on my stomach and severe arm pain that keeps me up a night. Were can I read about this condition, or get information to help stop the pain.

Goodness! I'm not sure what's in Nature Throid that could be causing this but I thought Armour was back on the shelves. Can't the endo give you your old prescription?

At first I was taking 120 MG of Armor and had no known problems but then I was given Nature Thyroid 120MG and that is when I started to have problems. My Dr told me to stop taking the Meds for one week and then start the same meds but at half strength, and that same day the pain got bad again. She now has me on 60MG a day with a 60MGThyroid Cap made by the pharmacy. The rash is not as bad but the arm pain is getting more severe.

Your levels might be too high. Get your FT3 and FT4 tested and post results. Also, you might have an allergic reaction to the fillers in your meds. What brand and what dosage?
