I have been on Levoxyl for 14 years and had no problems. I recently went off of it for 6 weeks and had my thyroid removed for cancer. I'm back on it now at a slightly higher dose and I have the worst indigestion I've ever had in my life. I never even connected it to the Levoxyl. I got on here looking to see if maybe anyone could tell me if Levoxyl could cause my teeth to hurt. All my teeth hurt and my dentist can find nothing wrong. Since Levoxyl is the only med I take I was starting there. Go figure, now I know why I have indigestion! Calling my endo tomorrow!
I have never broken out in hives in my life and I'm 37 years old. I have been on Levoxyl for 2 short weeks and my hands and feet started to itch last week and then just 4 days ago I was in Iowa visiting relatives and went for a walk (just like I've done 100's of times in my life) and at the end of the walk my legs started to itch and I thought if I pulled down my pants I'd see a big red blotch but HIVES was much much worse! All down the fronts of my legs and backs and my butt cheeks. I took some Benadryl and they went away in about an hour. Then we came back 3 days ago to our home in Colorado and I went for a walk today in the same kinds of clothes on the same trail, etc and after 30 minutes I started to feel the itch and I just knew what had happened. I got home in 10 more minutes and sure enough I had the stupid hives on my legs and this time on my belly too. What's going on??? I don't have any dyes in my meds. Is it the hypothyroid treatment or just a big coincidence? I have never been allergic to anything in my life!!
I have just started having this. I am so calling my doctor Monday. It doesnt happen every night but it happens after taking levoxyl and its no fun because what can you do? can you take bismuth? It says they interact. Who knows. Sorry everyone is having this trouble. Glad that I am not alone!
