I am 46 years old. I first started taking Levothyrox 11 years ago during a pregnancy. Now I currently take 200 a day. I have been suffering chest pains. I also suffer bone pain. My hair has not grown in nearly 3 years. I am borderline diabetic and each day when I take the drug, I immediately sleep due to the immediate sugar elevation I feel. Six months ago my femur broke. It seems due to a Vitamin D deficiency. Now I discover that a few of the nasty side effects that no one ever told me about is Vitamin D Deficiency and also Osteoporosis. Due to the strict bed rest that I have been on from my fractured femur, located near my pelvic, I have suffered muscle atrophy. I am too weak to even stand. So for 6 months now I have not even been able to leave my bed. Now the only solution I feel in order to possibly save my life is to immediately discontinue the use of Levothyrox. My boyfriend is a little concerned for me doing this but I see no other way. Any feedback appreciated. Thank you.
