I was diagnosed with having hypothyroidism, and after having FNAs done on the two nodules that were found during a screening of my thyroid - it turned out that I also have Hashimoto's Disease. I am currently on the lowest dosage of Levoxyl - and have been for about two months, and I have never felt so bad in my whole life. Yesterday I cried the entire day - for no reason. I have migraines several times a day. I get dizzy and have hot flashes and I feel so ditzy lately, forgetting the littlest things. It is a very frustrating way to live, being married with two small children. It is hard for me to explain this to anyone, and I unfortunately take some comfort in reading that I am not the only one living with this. I keep wondering if I will get better, not only for me, but for the sake of my family.

I have been on Levoxyl for 7 years and have complained constantly about headaches, strange neck pain, I feel my neck nodules, the muscles in my neck stay fatigued and sore, they ache and I have strange muscle twinges that I can't even explain. My past Endrocrynologist always told me it had nothing to do with the meds and MRI of head shows nothing, other doctors have said the same. I finally am going to a new Endocrynologist this month and am insisting to get off of this medicine and to do further testing on my thyroid. Because of this my life has been changed and my two children have definetely suffered because I just never feel healthy. It is very frustrating living with this and I hope my new doctor really listens and is willing to help me.
