Experiencing, tremor,

i have  hypothyroidism. i,ve been treated since 2008.from 2008 to 2010 been taking synthroid 150mcg as my maintenance..for two years my condition was quite good with synthroid.until i changed my pills from synthroid to thyrax because synthroid no longer available in the philippines..when my TSH became high my endocrinologist shift to euthryrox and she increased my dosage to 200mcg. after 8 day taking euthyrox 200mcg i experienced tremors and my whole body was shaking and i feel as if im high. so i was rushed to ER.i shift to other endocrinologist because of what happened my new doc decreased my dosage back to my normal maintenace of 150mcg of thyrax this time..for a couple of months my condition was good,but lately i have been experiencing from time to time tremors again on hand,feet,and head. and when i look at light seems like i see rainbow -like around the bulb.occasionally i feel weak and experiencing muscles weakness particularly on both knees. and involuntary muscles .anyone can give answer to what im experiencing now?

Medication for thyroid is very sensitive and what works for one may not work for others. The filler content and the variation of dosage can be very hard for a person.

Testing after 6 weeks is best to see if your labs fall exact to the others when you did well. If they don't match ratios then the med you are taking could be tweeked or changed entirely to something else.

Hi I had alot of the the issues you are having, I dont know if yours are mild or severe ,I did end up in hospital and they thought I had mad cow disease 7 yrs ago, I  ended up being dx with Hashimotos encephalopathy several attacks and yrs later, Its very rare and uncommon but your story sounds kindof like mine. Are you having word problems and focus problems, another thing I couldnt do was multi task or read outloud slurrd speech. good luck hope it isnt HE. I want to bring wareness of this disease out because Drs do feel its underdianosed!
