I have been taking this product for a number of years, and the past 2 years I have extreme bouts of total body itching(like chiggers), but you see nothing!! The only thing that helps is turning a fan on high over the body or if cold outside then go outside. I have noticed the past month or so with increased resistance training(weights) or the treadmill it is getting a lot more frequent. Gotten to the point I don't know what I can do without triggering it. I also take losartan 50mg, diltiazem 240mg, motrin 600mg,Isosorbide Mononitrate 30mg, and numerous COPD inhalers., and now I'm oxygen dependent for seem like anything other than sitting. ## Have you consulted your doctor about this problem? There are several possible causes here. One could be a circulation issue caused by the b...

Am being suffering from Hypothyroid and consuming T-25 tablet for the past 2 months but i don't find any changes personally added i found some strange feeling in my neck ## Not everyone experiences side effects from any given medication, some people don't experience any, at all, so that doesn't necessarily mean that there is a problem. Levothyroxine can cause weight changes and hair loss, which usually upsets some people that have to take it, so if you aren't having this problems, that is very fortunate. Has your doctor done blood tests to check your levels? Have they improved?

Can Eltroxin be used to treat goiters? ## Eltroxin contains the active ingredient Levothyroxine, which is used to treat hypothyroidism, when the Thyroid gland isn't producing enough of the essential hormone. The swelling of the thyroid gland that can occur is what is commonly referred to as a goiter. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and weight gain. ## I believe it's taken for thyroid problems.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 8 months ago. I've been on 100mcg of Levothyroxine for about a month. Before I got on this medication, I was having trouble conceiving. Since I've been on this med I have had no trouble conceiving at all. It took me under two months to get pregnant. Now, I am a little over 6 weeks pregnant with my first child. I have no bad side effects at all. No chest pains or hair loss, etc. I have an anxiety disorder which has been much better since I've been on Levo. I don't know why it affected all of you in a negative way, but I'm doing great. Maybe you guys should check with your doctors or stop taking this medication or lower the dosage. ## You are correct that if they are having problems with it, they need to contact their doctors f...
