M 80 symptoms and conditions

I've had severe joint pain in my thumb, hands, wrists, and arm all the way up to my shoulder. One side is worst than the other. My muscles hurt! I stopped Advair two days ago and I hope this pain ceases soon. The only thing that helps is Motrin 800 mg and Zostrix cream. I will NEVER take Advair again! I am a 55 year old woman and the pain makes me feel like I'm 80!

I am 34 years old. Back in 1985 I had most of my thyroid removed, due to a tumor attached to it. Since I was 10 until my late 20s, I was on Synthroid. By age 19 I had 3 knee surgeries to remove arthritis. I have suffered most of my life with joint pains, dry skin, weight that is like a roller coaster, and being tired most of the time. In my 20s I was put on Levoxyl. I has been on Levoxyl for several years now. Since being on Levoxyl I have been fighting anxiety, racing heart, joint pain in fingers and ankles, sudden dizziness to the point where i have to sit or pass-out. I feel like I'm 80 and not 34. After reading this site I am printing all this out and taking it to my doctor. No telling how much damage has been done after all these years.

Below is my original post from 7 months ago i am still waiting for most off these side effects to improve especially my memory which is still terrible and also the tinnitus ...the aches and pains are slightly better but that depends on the day only the severe itching is better but i still have the fatigue in the mornings ..

Wow - I'm so glad I found this site. I am 43 years old and had a PE last August in both lungs - every test imaginable has been done and still no idea why I got the PE. I should be on Warfarin for the rest of my life but I can't stand it much longer. I have headaches every day, cold sweats, dizziness, can't remember things, can't concentrate at work and the WEIGHT GAIN! My doctor just tells me to eat healthier but watch those leafy greens! I get no support at all from her. She also put me on Cipralex for depression and I'm now considering going off both medications and seeing a Naturopath. I'm sick of feeling like I'm 80.

I was prescribed Zocor 10mg about 3 mos ago. I started having severe pain in my knee when kneeling down like a hot knife. The skin on the side also became numb. After x-raying the knee they found nothing wrong. Cholesterol went down but they upped me to 20mg and within a few days I developed a rash on my arms, hands and legs - no itching but annoying. Thinking it was a food allergy I didn't worry about it too much. Then I started getting knee pain in my other knee and then in my big toe. I'm 50 years old and feel like I'm 80. Now the palms of my hands are peeling like they've been sunburned. My doctor has told me to stop taking the Zocor but that she has never heard of these side effects.
