Re: LEVOTHYROXINE ALLERGY - Kathleen

[Guest guest]

Hi

I then insisted I had a trial of dales thyroxine

capsules and at that time I think only consultants could order them and not

GPs. This may have changed.

Check our FILES section

9accessible from the Menu on the Home Page of this forum) and open the FOLDER 'HYPOTHYROIDISM'

- scroll down to the 'Pure T4 and T3' document and you can see how doctors can

prescribe the dale's Pure thyroxine hormone

These capsules have a choice of fillers but as I reacted to

the three I tried I believe it is not the fillers that causes my intolerance.

If you have low adrenal reserve, it could be that stopping the

Prednisolone could be the reason. You may need to start taking a small dose on

a daily basis until your adrenals are boosted sufficiently to make the thyroid

hormone work.

HI PATRICIA,

I will have to type this again as left to get this link about prednisolone, and

my message had gone that I had started.

I got in touch with the makers of this type of Prednisolone, and they said that

it causes salt retention and this in turn causes high BP.

I have stopped taking Himalayan salt and my BP has gone up and my pulse down.

It could be that I have not been active due to more pain as when my pulse goes

up my BP goes down.

They took down my GP'S details and said that there might be something else I

could have, and they advised me to get back in touch with my surgery, as I had

received no response about if I should increase the Prednisolone back to what I

was on.

I also mentioned about having problems with thyroxine including their brand that

I was at one time taking. I also mentioned that I was not the only one to have

problems with thyroxine, but no answers on this one (but does that surprise us).

I got in touch with my surgery and was told to increase it back up, and the pain

is improving.I was also told that return of this pain was not caused by

infection.

It also shows that the CRP and ESR blood tests are not reliable.

My GP originally felt that it was POLYMYAGIA , but blood tests did not indicate

it, so I think the same applies to many test results including as most already

know THYROID RESULTS ARE NOT RELIABLE.

I again experianced cloudiness in urine, and it caused me to feel unwell this

morning.

You also sound like you are experiancing the same as I am, but are you taking

any Prednisolone or Thyroxine now.

I also have to wonder why you too were told you had POLYMYALGIA, and now changed

their minds, and do they deserve the wages they get.

get investigated to get to the bottom of my problem. He said I had polymyalgia

because my CRP and ESR were raised. I was started on Prednisolone and whilst I

was on it taking my thyroxine was not a problem. A month later I returned to be

told I did not have polymyalgia and to wean off the prednisolone!

Hi Kathleen

They said my raised CRP and ESR were due to an infection and in fairness I had

had a chest infection.

I am still on Pred and Thyroxine but am seeing my GP on Monday and following my

tutorial with Sheila I am going to ask for a trial of T3
