Aches and soreness related to low tsh?

by ronda7043, Jul 22, 2008 12:40AM
I am 50 years old and have been taking Levothyroxine .175 mcg for several years now.  My latest TSH was 0.2.  Do I now have hyperthyroidism.  Does this explain why I have been having  increased sweating, poor memory and poor thought process.  Also having alot of aches and soreness in my knees and hands.

Those are very common symptoms of Hyperthyroidism , you need to lower you Levothyroxine dose , i also suggest to discuss your doctor to prescribe you brand medicine for thyroid like Levoxyl or Synthyroid which has less filler  as compare to generic one. How long have you been in thyroid condition. Does your muscles aches and soreness started after doing little but of work ?

I have been taking Levothyroxine since 1999.  The aches and soreness does seem to increase if I do the least bit of work.  And if I do alot of work, like work in the flower bed I am just about past going the next day.
