Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 My dd's doctors(3) in canada did not believe she could react to her thyroid meds... she took synthroid for only 3 days.. immediate reaction within seconds.. which made her lip sore and then her lips swelled, got real sore..cracked ..and the doctors told me they looked like chapped lips... lol!She went without meds. for more than a week, with a pretty bad goiter waiting for her special meds..and her canadian endro told my pediatrician she could become retarded if i used the usa doctors meds... I found her a doctor in the usa who specially compounds medications...and her tsh went from 100 to 8 in just one month... I would demand specially compounded meds...talk to a pharmacy that specially compounds meds...talk to the pharmacist... tell him the meds. you want to take..tell him you want some hypo-allergenic meds... .... maybe your doctor would write you the script if you told him how to do it? my dd's meds. has only cellulose and riboflavin in a hypo-allergenic gelatin capsule... I hope you find a doctor soon that will help you.. > > Hi my name is > I was recently diagnosis with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I have been on 3 thyroid meds, Amour Thyroid, Levothroxine,Cytomel. I have had a reaction to each(throat closing and rash on the inside of throat). I just started Synthroid 3 days ago. I hope I am able to take it. The doctors all say I am crazy and could not be having any kind of reaction, it must be coincidence. I was on Amour Thyroid twice to make sure that is what it was. I am not on any other medication, and have never had anything like this before. If anyone else has had these problems I would like to hear about it. > Thanks > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
