Does the metabolism fluxuate while taking levoxyl?

31 Mar 2010

So it sounds like you've gone from hyper to hypothyroidism based on your post. First question in a long list, how long have you been on the levoxyl? Are you seeing an endo? How often are your labs being run? Which labs are are they running? There are multiple outputs from the thyroid - if it was nuked did they kill off the entire gland or bits of it?

I had a total thyroidectomy over a year ago and am still battling getting the replacement hormones optimized so can understand where you're coming from. It's amazing how one gland effects so many things we take for granted. Don't give up, it takes time to get it right and then we each have stay if top of our own health to keep it that way.
