I have a total thyroidectomy 3 months ago and was put on 150micrograms. I felt OK until I went back to work a month ago and now off with stress partly due to the job irritations and partly not recovered. My GP has put the dose down to 125mg I start tomorrow but last 2 weeks Ive had tingling pins and needles in my hands and legs, feeling depressed and very tired. I am not sure if its the drug or the job!
PS. I also meant to add Ive also had pains in my hands/limbs and terrible neck ache.
PPS. I also get very hungry dread seeing my weight but despite having the dosage lowered it seems I have put on a few pounds but this may be while I was off. Having said that most people say my face is thinner..
PPPS. Sorry my first time on here but also had a few hot flushes and I dont think I am menopausal as yet!
