Does any one has any issues with Dry mouth and kind of white tongue ?. Is this common in Hypothyroidism /Hashi or it could be a side effects of levoxyl ?.

iv had thrush three times its not so much a white tounge but white patches around and inside the mouth. its raised white ****. my thyroids were abnormaly low and the doc increased my levothroxine from 200 to 250. i wonder if its because of the very low thyroid. i also was using my fast acting inhaler alot even at nite with out rinsing like i should. its a pain to get rid of for me. i hope this helps

I have hypothyroid and have been  on zynthroid for the past 2 years. I was wondering if anyone like me suffers for extreme leg pains and tiredness. I have to sleep during the day, because I get exhausted easily. I am 37 years old and weigh 123lbs 5'2". I also have the burning of the tongue and have been recently getting alot of sores on my mouth. I do rinse with peroxide which helps sometimes. But it is really annoying!

I am getting extremely dry mouth and I believe it is from the antidepressant Doxipin that I am taking.  The funny thing is I don't get it every night.  My mouth is so dry I have no saliva at all.  I mentioned above that I also had white tongue before they started me on any medicine.  I thought I had thrush and they treated me with antibiotics but it still havppens at times.  I think it must be thyroid related.  I hope to find a lot out from this new endo that I am going to.  She is in a endocrine clinic so hopefully she will have more answers than my last one.      I also have dry eyes at times.  The eye doctor gave me drops to put in when that happens and an ointment at night.  It really helped and went away for a long time and now it is back.  Who knows huh?  We sure all seem to get a lot of the same sym;ptoms.  Maybe they ought to use us as test cases.  This forum is full of symptoms and answers to them that we have found.   Hope some doctor reads this and notices the different symptoms that they don't think are thyroid related.   linda (:

It wouldn't hurt to go to the dentist and get that checked out.  I visited my dentist- GI - ENT- and my MD all in that year and thrush was not an option. You can see pics of actual thrush patients on a yahoo search / thrush/white tongue.  I suspected thrush also originally - but it didn't turn out that way for me.

The white tongue makes me think of thrush as well. It is caused by yeast overgrowth and is treated with anti-fungal drugs.

Do you think it may be thrush? I have gotten this many times when immune system low. The one sign is brushing some off and it returning white again after. If you find that it is, you may need medication (antibiotic?) and you must throw out old brush due to chance of re-infection. Just a thought.
