Hypothyroidism here. On 100mcg of levythyroxine and don't really notice much of a difference (not that I noticed many symptoms in the first place).

I haven't noticed any difference either and I'm on 100 too.

Yeah, same in my ankles, the steroids stop the pain though although I gain so much weight on them :biggrin:

Err, or before you go switching to a drug that is 10x more expensive, they could try increasing the current dose, seeing as normal maintenance is anywhere between 100-200 micrograms.

I don't know what your background is, but you post some right *******s about drugs.

And what does it cost the NHS?

(PROTIP: Levothyroxine costs £1 for 28x100mcg, triiodothyronine costs £13 for 28x100mcg)

Why are people saying myopia? It's not an illness and unless you have a high prescription, it's not serious.
Well, yes. It is her problem. Just as it is yours and my problem. You're incredibly naive if you think it isn't.

Do you think she might be asymptomatic with a deiodinase deficiency?

GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder) and recurrent migraines. I get up to 3 migraines a week typically. Had every test under the sun done and the docs can't find anything wrong so I've just to grin and bear them with strong painkillers and meds.


I clicked on this thread to add my GAD and migraines to the list and was surprised to see this because it's exactly what I suffer from. My migraines are the vertigo/dizziness kind that don't always come with a blinding headache (although they can do), the main symptom for me is losing balance and a lot of nausea and eye problems. Migraines definitely don't help GAD, I'm pretty sure they were the cause for mine, and it seems to be a vicious circle in that anxiety causes migraines and migraine symptoms cause anxiety. It's kind of reassuring to find someone else with the same two conditions that I have, as it's sometimes lonely to find other people who deal with anxiety but who don't have something like migraines that change the way you have to cope with/manage the condition.
Snapping hip syndrome +/- sciatica - the main issue is not being able to sleep at night. During the day I'm okay as can ignore the pain.

I have Anaemia but its not too bad, it runs in our family... I only found out I was anaemic when I gave blood just before christmas, I passed out and the nurses said I was anaemic, wouldn't stop me donatig blood again though :smile:
My boyfriend also has type 1 diabetes, he developed it when he was about 11 or 12, he is 18 now and its a sad illness to have, having to inject yourself 4 times a day, constantly checking your sugar level to make sure it isn't too high or too low... He is a trooper. :smile:
