Finger joint symptoms and conditions

I have been taking Synthroid for at least 10 years. I am on a very high dosage now175mcg. I have been on a lower dose but my counts were still low so my doctor put my dosage higher. I have been having a tremendous amount of body aches including finger joint aches and right flank problems. I have taken x-rays and various tests to determine what the pain is but I feel that after reading much of the side effects from this web site, much of what I am experiencing is from the Synthroid or Levothyroxin. I now feel that I need to take matters into my own hands and do more natural healing. Many doctors don't connect the dots to determine the real cause of your concerns.

I am a 45 year old Female and this is my third refill & attempt to try singular as it was wonderful for my asthma and allergies. I actually threw the 1st 2 bottles out-as my side affects were horrendous. Headaches, sick stomach, exhausted, horrible mood swings, depressed, itching, finger joint aches, could not function and focus, I was desperate and tried it again and took 1/2 a pill instead of whole - it did not seem to help my allergies and therefore not enough to create as horrible poisoness feelings of the side effects. I just vomitted again after having a horrible exhausting day. I do not think this drug is worth the side effects. There are other sites that talk about Singulair - and no we are not crazy.

have been taking Atorvastatin for 5 months, prescribed by the hospital after I was hospitalised for 3 days following a minor stroke. I was prescribed 20mg which I took for about three and a half months. I felt dizzy a bit and believed this was side affects from my stroke. My cholesterol was 6.2 which is considered quite high. I decided to cut down the dose to 10 mg as I hate taking drugs of any kind and a friend of mine who has low thyroid like me ( we are both on thyroxine) told me that she had been told that one should not take statins with an under active thyroid. This is why I reduced the dose. Having found this website I am beggining to realise that the shoulder and neck pain that has developed over the last months and also an increase in the dryness to my eyes and a swollen finger joint - could all possibly be due to Atorvastatin. I have now stopped taking the drug -- my shoulders are just beginning to feel easier now , I await relief from my swollen painful finger-- will let you know results.

I, too have had the same finger joint problems as the ctober 25th guest. I am taking Femara aromitase-inhibitor as well as Zometa, so the joint problems could be attributed to either. I'm quite sure that this problem is due to either medication, as I never had anything like this before. I'm continuing to take both medications, and intend to add Celebrex to treat the joint symptoms.
