Guest guest Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I had my thyroid removed on 14 July and have been on 125 mg Levothyroxine every since. The problem is I have been having hot flushes especially at night, extremely tired even after a short walk to the shops, headaches, burst into tears for no reason, and unable to get a good nights sleep - I tend to just toss and turn each night. I had an appointment with the ENT consultant who removed my thyroid and discussed my problems with her. She thinks I have hormone problems and possibly early menopause - I am only 34 and would love to have a family. You can imagine how awful my husband and I felt when we heard this. I made an appointment with my GP for the next day, she was much more helpful, she thinks my body is reacting badly to the Levothyroxine. She wants to take me off the meds for one week and then try 25 mg for one week and then build from there to find a dose that works for me. I cant see and ENDO until 11 November. Any advice on this matter would be grealty appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
