Two areas symptoms and conditions

37 - Dx'd w/ Hyperthyroidism at 20 and have been on levoxyl since then. I started at .075 and was increased to .1 when I got pregnant w/ my 1st child at 29. I always thought I had anxiety so until I started reading the posts I didn't put it together. I was always shaky and nervous and super skinny before I was dx'd with hyper and after the treatment I was still anxious so I thought it was a different problem.

The anxiety has gotten much worse in the last few years w/ pressure, family, and career so I went to a psych last week and he gave me lexapro and klonopin. The klonopin had done nothing and I was treated 10 years ago with Zoloft which made things MUCH worse so I won't take the lexapro.

I recently switched to Synthroid .1 because I thought maybe the generic meds didn't work as well. I developed a small rash on my elbow a week or 2 later, then a week after that I got 2 big patches on my back over my kidneys. A bout 2 weeks later I developed a HORRIBLE itchy rash over my whole body. I thought the itching would drive me insane. I saw a dr who gave me prednisone (made me feel awful), after I took the dose pack it came back like crazy. I went to the ED and the dr gave me scabies medication (I was mortified) but nobody else in the house had anything. I went to the derm and they biopsied two areas and a week later have not given me the result. Meanwhile, I'm back on levoxyl and the rash is slowly getting better. It must have been the cause. Anybody else get that??

When I was visiting him for something unrelated, my doctor pointed out the bags under my eyes and said he could eliminate them with a Kenalog injection. He did not mention any possible side effects. Worst case, he said, would be that the injection would have no effect.

That's the last time I consent to a treatment on trust without first researching it thoroughly myself. The injection did nothing for the bags, but did cause atrophy of my right cheek at the injection site, resulting in a severe indentation in the middle of my cheek which continued to get worse as the weeks went by.

Attempts to fill out the sink-hole have resulted in a lopsided appearance to my face, which is quite demoralizing.

has anyone noticed excessive breast tenderness with the NuvaRing. my boobs have always been a little sore the week before my period, but now they start feeling sore, and even aching, up to two weeks before. it freaks me out monthly as breast tenderness is a sign of pregnancy.

Can this drug cause a rash on my shin?

HI Ladies:

I just want to let you know that things will get better once you get off the Yasmin and let your body regulate itself. It will take time, but you will get there. I am 3 months post Yasmin after being on it for 7 months. Although I still have some fatigue, the other symptoms have gone away, most importantly the anxiety.

I credit a lot of rehabilitation to my nutritionist who is helping me to naturally cleanse out my body with herbal remedies. Just 3 weeks ago, I was still in pretty bad shape. Now 4 weeks after using the herbs, I am about 90% back to normal other than the minor fatigue that I still have.

For those of us in relationships, I think the best thing we can do is be up front and honest with our loved ones about what is going on. Tell your boyfriends or husbands what the Yasmin is doing to your system, apologize for any weird behavior, and ask them for their support and understanding.

There are days where you will feel okay, then days where you won't. But as time goes on you will start to have more good days then bad ones.

I would suggest that you get your Thyroid levels and adrenal levels checked as those are the two organs of the body that seem to deteriorate most while on BCP's. Those are the two areas that my nutritionist had me check. Once we got those results back, she was able to more accurately tailor my herbal program.

Praying that all of us feel like ourselves soon and get back to normal.
