"After two months, I am still nauseous all day after taking the medicine. I've lost 30 lbs, and when I tried to donate blood to hit the ten-gallon lifetime, my iron levels were very low. Have never had a problem with my iron levels."

"I suffered from severe muscle pains/joint pains, which I had been having for about a year, increasing in intensity, until I even had a few mornings where it was difficult getting out of bed. My doctor did extensive labs. Everything was normal except my thyroid which was VERY low. Two weeks after beginning Levothroid, 95% of my pain had vanished."
