Levoxyl and allergic reaction

I have been taking levoxyl for 13 years. I have experienced a lot of the symptons you describe. It took almost 5 years to find the right dosage that I feel normal on. Just because the TSH is in the normal range doesn't mean you'll feel normal. I went to a specialist who tweaked the doses till I felt my best. For me that is a TSH of between 1 and 2. If it goes lower or higher, even though it is in normal range I get symptons of either hypo or hyperthyroidism. Each time a dose is ajusted it takes a good 3 to 4 months for your body to adjust. So finding the right dose is a long process. And finding the right Doctor to work with you can be a long process. The Doctor told me the thyroid is the theromstate of your body and if it isn't set exactly right you'll feel it. It regulates everything. I have never had an allergic reaction side effect of levoxyl just dose related side effects and they can be very depressing. To give all of you hope I can say that once you find your dose you'll feel like your old self again.I feel better then ever.

I have had thyroid disease for 6 years. I just had my medicine increase less than one week ago from 125 mcg to 150 mcg. The endocrinologist did this with a lab result from over 6 months ago and I was never retested before he upped my dose. 2 days after my new dose I broke out in a rash head to toe. The next day I started itching and went to my doctor and she said I have no idea what is going on with you. Then I went to the Pharmasist and he said you are having an allergic reaction to the dye in the 150 mcg blue tablets (125 mcg are white). The following day I got new medication I now am taking 3 50 mcg tablets. But I now am swollen ankles to feet and elbows to hands. My hands are like balloons. When I go to bed at night my hands are completely numb. Has anyone else had any symptoms like this?? Help I cannot figure this out. I am thinking that I may be over medicated. Thank you Heidi
